my off-repeated story of doing our own mainframe terminal controller
at the univ.
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#360pcm

and somebody writing an article blaiming four of us for the mainframe 
pcm controller business.


the ibm mainframe channel interface had been reverse engineered and a 
channel interface controller card built for an interdata/3


the second or third bug we encountered was passing ascii from the 
interdata/3 (programmed to emulate 2702 over the channel interface to 
the mainframe) ... showed data was coming in all garbage. it took some 
time to realize that the linescanner on the interdata/3 was taking the 
leading bit off the line and storing it it in the high order bit 
position of the byte ... while the linescanner in the 2702 was taking 
the leading bit off the line and storing it in the low order bit 
position of the byte.


as a result "ascii" arriving in the mainframe memory from a 2702 
(linescanner) was "bit-reversed" ... and the ibm translate tables were 
taking that into account.

Print PDF to AFP printers

[Kirk Wolf]

The IBM "Infoprint Transform" products seem to suggest that you can use 
them to convert PDF documents

to AFP.

Does anyone on list have any experience with this?

I was wondering how you go about initiating this?  Does this facility 
accept PDF data directly from the JES SPOOL?  In other words, can you 
simply write the PDF data to a SYSOUT DD specifying a WRITER, or do you 
have to submit a job that runs some utility program to convert the PDF?


Thanks for any help / experience in this matter.

Re: CPENABLE (Was: Heads-Up: OA14409 finally fixes MCCAFCTH defaults)

[Ted MacNEIL]

>I would happily settle for a health check.

Your standards are too low.
IBM changes the values from (0,0) to (10,30) and back again.
I have seen no other choices.

They claim the customer knows best, but the flash never talks about workload, 
CP/LP's, channels, or other factors that make up "it depends".

So, why should we health check it.

Just turn it off as a customer option, and let releases and PUT upgrades handle 
the value du jour.

When in doubt.

I've argued with them before, during, and after my tenure at IBM.

I've always felt that they were see-sawing on this issue.

I used to have a copy of each flash (PDF and dated), but I've misplaced them 
with my separations (wife and IBM).

Some of the performance gurus in Canada would admit (privately) that Washington 
really didn't/doesn't have their complete act together.

But, the real issue is, since the flashes, are absolute with nothing in them 
regarding workload, that the customer know best argument is specious.
Therefore, code it internally, and let's move on!

When in doubt.

Well, the only hits I see with your name in them are you talking on
google.public.support.general and such about being top of the list for these
keywords. That's with the above string quoted; as separate keywords IBM is
number 1, and you're number 5.

But as you like to point out, the Google results vary from one try to the
next.

Not for a z800/z900 - it's still (0,0) for shared engines. 

But you are correct that for at least since z990/z890 (more than
2 years) the recommendation has been (10,30) for shared engines.
But I wasn't given the impression that the reason IBM didn't want
to code for it was "because we have changed our minds too often".  
More like.. "just something that is better left to the customer
who knows their configuration".  I don't agree. And for all the
self tuning / healing talk there is for this platform by IBM
in recent years, I though it was a fair question to ask. 

Anyway... here is the current flash which replaced W9634A a while back.

It would even be better if IBM could make up its mind as to which setting is 
recommended!

I have worked with PR/SM since GA, and every couple of years the recommended 
defaults are changed.
Even on the same model.

It started out with (10,30) in basic and (0,0) in partitioned.

And, then the partition recommendation changed to (10,30), then to (0,0), then 
to (10,30), then to (0,0)...
well you get my point!

IIRC, it's (10,30) has been the reco for the last two years.
So, it's due to change.

New APAR OA14409 appears to indicate that IBM has moved away from the 
default values of MCCAFCTH=(400,600) and instead set the default values to 
0.2% (low) and 0.4% (ok) of total real storage for the LPAR.

For those of us who have coded overrides to IBM's 400,600 default values, 
those overrides will probably no longer be necessary!

z/OS R7 IODF Improvements

[Knutson, Sam]

Our guys just got finished updating the IODF with z/OS R7.  Cool!

The v1.7 IODF is definitely a HUGE improvement over the previous
versions.
Not only is there noticeable performance improvements, but the space
savings are incredible.

IE:
Enter "/" to select action  Tracks
---
SYS2.IODF001545 V1.6 
SYS2.IODF01  90 V1.7

That is a 95% reduction!

It's still there. Got the last bug out several months ago.
The only drawback, it's no fun when no one else is in the game.
However, that's the best time to learn it so you arent getting

z/OS is just the new name for OS/390, which was an assemblage of the 
most common software components into a single, named package for ease of 
installation. The z/OS BCP is still called MVS. That's why you find MVS 
in the titles of the books and bookshelves e.g., 
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/EZ2ZO10G?filter=MVS 





Well, I think of z/OS as the 64-bit version of OS/390,
which makes a clear distinction in people's minds. I
know that large portions still run AMODE31 and some
even run AMODE24, but z/OS at least supports AMODE64.

My point is z/OS is a bit more than just a new name
for OS/390: there is a signficant difference in the
product, even though it is based on OS/390.

Kind regards,

Yes, but *I* have never seen anything that referred to the z/OS BCP as
MVS/ESA V7?   The product name in the CVT is SP 7.0.?.

Updated NJE/IP Bridge Available from BSI

[Jeffrey Barnard]

BSI is pleased to announce the availability of version 1.0.9 of the
NJE/IP Bridge package. This update adds new platform support (Windows
2000/XP), additional documentation, and expanded print system
integration for Windows allowing definition of numerous print attributes
and finishing options.

In addition to the new software, a updated version of the white paper
"Using the NJE/IP Bridge" which provides details of sample
implementations and tips on installing the software is available by
contacting Teri at BSI (407-323-4773 or [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

NJE/IP Bridge allows you to interconnect NJE communication services on
unmodified OS/390, VM, z/VM, z/OS, VSE, TPF and -- for the first time --
open systems (such as Windows, Linux, Solaris and AIX) over TCP/IP
networks. NJE/IP Bridge incorporates a complete bi-directional NJE
implementation for a large range of mainframe, midrange, and desktop
computing environments, and supports integration of development
environments, workstation applications, and system management tasks into
a reliable, stable, completely IP-based environment that is transparent
to end user awareness.

31-bit and 64-bit System/390 and zSeries systems (both standard engine
and IFL) are supported along with most popular open systems platforms.

Pricing for NJE/IP Bridge is machine-size neutral, and very affordable
on any platform. NJE/IP Bridge provides an easy method for constructing
system management automation for Linux guests within a z/VM environment
as well as those with external hosts, routing system logging and
messages to central Netview or VM Programmable Operator environments and
dramatically simplifies and consolidates the number and type of
monitoring systems needed to manage a diverse computing environment.

For more information on NJE/IP Bridge, please go to: www.bsiopti.com and
look over the NJE/IP Bridge technical fact sheet or go to the download
page and download a trial version of NJE/IP Bridge.

You can call BSI at 407-323-4773 or email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
we can discuss any questions you have in greater detail.

Thanks.  Strange that they chose MVS/ESA V7 instead of z/OS for the
sysplex box label in the middle.

FTPSDATA

[Jorge Arueira Campos]

Hi all

I need information about parms of FTP of IBM. In my proc I assigned a number
in parm of TCPIP.TCPPARMS(FTPSDATA) as below:

CCONNTIME 300
;
DATACTTIME   600
;
DCONNTIME600
;
INACTTIME  600
;
INACTIVE300

When I restart the proc FTPD with changes above, not reflect the changes, in
command of FTP under TSO (LOCSTAT) the display is:

CCONNTIME is
30
EZA2810I DATACTTIME  is
120
EZA2811I DCONNTIME  is
120
EZA2812I INACTTIME  is
120
EZA2813I MYOPENTIME is
60
EZA2815I VCOUNT is  50

My question is: How I change the parms in tcpparms for validation ??

Thanks for all

Jorge Arueira Campos and
Rbarnack

Re: tcperror.h

[Bob Henry]

Chris & Jim,

No, this is definitely "#include tcperror.h" and as Dave Rivers pointed 
out, "that went away a long time ago". I believe that because the program 
was last compiled in 11/1999. I'll have to attempt to recode that 
function. Wish me luck, I know nothing about "C"!

Re: AW: SYSVTOC in GRSRNLxx - ISGNQXIT

[Rainer Winkel]

Hello Giovanni,

your solution for the ISGNQXITFAST exit will be interesting for me because 
I have the problem to protect the data-exchange from one independend LPAR-
complex to an other.
We have different Customers (own Sysplexes because of security reasons) and 
we collect the SMF-records for accounting on our company own production 
LPAR.
For exchanging the SMF-records from each Customer using a shared volume.
To protect the datasets we need this ISGNQXITFAST exit.

Would you be so kind to give me some hints in programming and assembling 
the exit or maybe to send me a example?

My company is the AKDB in Munich (www.akdb.de), we have a 2086-A04 and zOS 
1.4 running.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards

Rainer Winkel

If it is tcperrno.h you're looking for then it's in TCPIP.SEZACMAC

Re: tcperror.h

[Thomas David Rivers]

"tcperror.h" went away a long time ago.

And - the tcperror() function it defined is now simply
a wrapper for a normal perror() function.

Looking at the OS/390 2.10 C/C++ Runtime reference:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/edclb031/4.1.292?SHELF=EZ239127.bks&DT=20001006171233

It shows that the way to invoke tcperror() is to define 
_OPEN_SYS_SOCK_EXT and include a few different header files,

as in:


  #define _OPEN_SYS_SOCK_EXT
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 


That should get you the tcperror() function properly defined for the
IBM runtime.

The Systems/C runtime also has the tcperror() function (to be 
compatible),  ours is simply a straight-forward wrapper for perror().

Re: IBMLink 3270 Logon Trouble

[Bruce Black]

I prefer the web interface for especially for ETR and SIS where I can
open multiple windows, use cut and paste for large text blocks.  If they
want to retire the 3270 interface they need to make VPL available on the
web interface.  While not required by all customers VPL is an important
tool for customers and ISVs who want to do deeper research on problems
or understand OS functions.  I always felt the 3270 VPL tool was
deliberately designed to be difficult to use.  I would relish a VPL tool
in the web that let me pull a whole listing as a download or even in
browser window.  The 3270 mode VPL forces you to painfully page through
modules bit by bit.
Sam, AMEN to all that. 

I find that IBMLINK 2000 is not badly designed.  There is always room 
for improvement but I find it to be responsive and flexible enough to 
meet my needs.  Once I sign on in the morning, it is only one click away 
at any time (I have a quick link on my personal browser toolbar).  
Printing is convenient (compared to the 3270 interface) and as Sam says, 
multiple windows are great. 

VPL is a bear to use, and slow.  Plus so much is now OCO that its value 
is limited.  But I still use it several times a month.

Re: SHARE

[Tim Hare]

I won't be going to Baltimore since they discovered the following SHARE is 
in Tampa (the taxpayers would rather spend the money "in state" - even 
though it probably flows out of here to Marriott/Hyatt/Days 
Inn/AppleBee's/Chili's etc. HQ). 

That said, however - if you're going, be sure to thank HQ for adding 
improvements to the Personal Itinerary tool (and the other scheduling 
tools)  - there's now an icon for each event in the Personal Itinerary 
that you click on, and if your calendaring program is set up properly with 
your browser (the .ics file type AKA MIME type text/calendar is associated 
to open in your calendar application such as Outlook) you can add the 
sessions directly to your own calendar.  This greatly simplifies, for me, 
the building of my schedule for SHARE; it also makes it easy to get that 
schedule into a PDA or phone calendar if you need to. 

 It's not completely perfect, yet, but they've been doing a lot of work on 
it and deserve some kudos for taking it beyond the "download the complete 
agenda and then sort through it" stage.


All possible because people are starting to pay attention to calendaring 
standards now, and to improve the interoperability among calendar tools - 
an effort which began long ago, at you guessed it SHARE.  I was once the 
OfficeVision/MVS (the red-headed stepchild of Profs and SAA) DPM and 
believe me, calendaring was then, and is now, a critical app for many 
organizations. Inter-vendor operability still isn't that wonderful, but 
thanks to the Calendaring & Scheduling Consortium (www.calconnect.org) - 
founded by some SHARE folk - and others, there are improvements being 
made.

Yeah, I just found some. So it looks like I'll be doing this "the right
way". I was trying to approach it as a "new product" install (like a
compiler), but it just won't work that way.

Re: MVS Licenses/MVS sites

When I worked for Amdahl in the 1980s, the salesmen made great use of the

think it was compiled by the publisher sending questionnaires to most UK
companies of any size. People seemed happy to answer questions in those

Re: IBMLink 3270 Logon Trouble

[Mark T. Regan, K8MTR]

We've been seeing this problem from my site too. We have a Enterprise Extender 
connection with AT&T. But when we TN3270 direct to 'ibmlink.advantis.com', we 
don't see the problem.

I find it diffcult to jump from function to function. On 3270 I type in
the short name and I'm there. On the web I have to maneuver too many
screens to get to where I want to be.

They're the best of a bad lot, at least if you're referring to

The real zinger is ifreq's. You need to evaluate not only the function
that you intend to install but also the service that it drags in.

It's not the third-level qualifier.
It's the final qualifier (always).

.CNTL
.PROJECT.CNTL
.SUB.PROJECT.CNTL
SYS2.GDPS.CNTL

will all have the same profile for the individual ISPF user.

Also, you can override the profile on the EDIT entry screen.

When in doubt.

I don't believe anybody was asking for a list of customers.
Like a census, we would just like a head-count without details.

How well the market is doing would be a nice indicator as to job opportunities 
and whether the mainframe is truly dying (which I don't believe, but management 
does.

But, IBM is their own worst enemy when it comes to pitching the mainframe!

Some beginners Questions - plain text version

[Fenner, Jim]

Tom,
The earlier suggestion to read right thru all the HELP screens
is excellent. 

(i) Profiles
These profiles are dependent on the third-level qualifier (in my
experience) so EXEC, CNTL, COBOL etc all can have different settings

I run an edit macro called SAVEON which sets things up to be convenient
for me
EXEC (FIXED - 80)RECOVERY OFFNUMBER OFF.
CAPS OFFHEX OFFNULLS OFFTABS OFFSETUNDO STG.
AUTOSAVE ONAUTONUM OFFAUTOLIST OFFSTATS ON..
PROFILE UNLOCKIMACRO SAVEONPACK OFFNOTE ON..
HILITE REXX CURSOR FIND.

(ii) edit macros
Give you a world of power; I have written hundreds to do all sorts of
tasks.
You can detect the word under the cursor and assign PF keys to macros
that run in the editor.

(iii) Macros for outside editor
You can also detect the word under the cursor in TSO outside of editor
and assign PF keys to rexxes/programs that run outside the editor.

(iv) No VSAM
as you observe editor does not play with VSAM. Perhaps your company
licences FILE-AID from Compuware? We (Tax Office) actually have it so
that B or E or V in a 3.4 list against a VSAM will invoke FileAid
instead of (inapplicable) ISPF Browse.

(v) ISPF-L and TSO-REXX and IBM-MAIN mailing lists
Are great places for sharing. Are friendly lists. 
Must be read daily to retain your sanity when working in mainframe
environment.
You may end up with a hundred or more routines "found" on these lists,
as well as hundreds you write yourself.
A lot of these should have been written by IBM to save us the trouble
but at least we can help each other.

(vi) FTP
We have recently had a long round of FTP-related postings so I won't go
into FTP here. 

(vii) CBT Tapes
Atrociously named site I think it's www.cbt.org but a treasure-trove of
freeware.



Hope this helps,

Jim

NULLS ON | OFF is the command to look for. With  NULLS ON "trailing 
blanks" on the line don't inhibit shifting in insert mode.

Type "PROF" on the editor command line to see other settings.

The "CUT" command is your key ("COPY" was given away long before the
clipboard was implemented in ISPF).

"CUT" line command in combination with "C", "CC-CC", "Cnn" line command
copies some lines into the default clipboard. "CUT APPEND" appends to 
current content. "CUT xyz" puts lines into named clipboard (xyz).
"CUT DISPLAY" lets you work with the clipboards (yes, there can be 
more than one).
