about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Hi all, I am new to ISPF Editor. When I am editing a COBOL file, I found that syntax highlighting is OFF, When I type HILITE ON in the command line, it says HILITE unavailable, Seems that it is disabled somehow. Does anyone meet this problem? How can I enable it again? Thanks!

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
KC Eric, I remember encountering a similar message when trying 'hilite dtl' on an HFS HTML file that had records that were longer than 255 characters. However, as you mention COBOL I doubt that that's the reason. Anyway, did you press F1 (or enter 'help') upon the first message being displayed? Maybe there will be another message telling you in more detail what's wrong. Robert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- von KC Eric Wong Gesendet: Dienstag, 20. März 2007 08:27 Hi all, I am new to ISPF Editor.

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Hi Robert, Thanks for your reply! I pressed F1 and it says The HILITE command is not available in mixed mode edit sessions. Then, I go to Menu - Edit - Options, to disable Mixed Mode. Also, I changed all lower case characters to upper case, but still it doesn't work. What does Mixed mode edit session means? Thanks!

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Had to look up 'Mixed Mode' first and it seems to be related to DBCS. Here's what the tutorial page says on 'Mixed Mode': You can edit unformatted mixed data which contains both EBCDIC (one-byte) characters and Double Byte Character Set (DBCS or two-byte) characters. To do this, you must specify mixed mode. The field is provided on the Edit entry panel for specifying the operation mode: Enter / to select option / Mixed Mode where / indicates mixed mode edit, and indicates conventional edit. If the terminal does not support DBCS, the operation mode is ignored. As I do not have the slightest experience with DBCS I can't be of more help unfortunately. The tutorial pages on HILITE do not mention explicitly whether DBCS is supported or not. Your experience suggests it is not.

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Hi Robert, Thanks much for your help! I also do not have any experience on DBCS. And after trials and errors, finally it works ! In the System Main Menu - PDF, instead of choosing Utilities - Dslist, I chose Edit, then a screen came up, and then I typed the dataset name and chose not to enable Mixed Mode. Before, I disable Mixd Mode within the ISPF editor, it didn't work, though, strange. Thanks again for your information!

JES3 NJE Over TCP/IP Now Available (OA16527)
The NJE-over-TCP/IP code is now available for z/OS 1.8 JES3. [ If you're a z/OS veteran, skip this information between brackets: NJE (Network Job Entry) allows JES-to-JES communication between z/OS systems, either running on the same machine or across machines. JES (Job Entry Subsystem) is the master job submission engine for z/OS: the subsystem that tells z/OS to go do something and which manages job output. It's like a service window or service counter for z/OS, the place you go to get something done and/or get the results. JES2 and JES3 are the two JES variants. Previously NJE required an SNA protocol connection, but many organizations would like to use TCP/IP for various reasons. The JES2 NJE-over-TCP/IP feature is already available, and this new code now adds TCP/IP support for JES3. SNA is still supported and will be indefinitely. ] Please reference APAR OA16527. (If you search on OA16527 at ibm.com you'll find it.) z/OS 1.9 at GA will have this function. I missed this one a couple weeks ago, so apologies if it's old news. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: REXX APIs (Wanted: SMP/E)
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 02/27/2007 at 09:45 AM, Paul Gilmartin [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: It's possible, with some planning, to design a CALLable API to be REXX-friendly. ICSF is an example. The chief requirement is that all control blocks and communication areas be passed to the API as parameters on each call, since Rexx can not conveniently generate pointers to obtained STORAGE. An alternative is that the API allocate all communications areas and return pointers to them in a single control block so that the Rexx program can manipulate them with STORAGE() I would consider that to be quite alien to the REXX world view. Instead, I would propose that a REXX-friendly application will: 1. Allow calling REXX procedures from within the application 2. Register a subcommand environment. 3. Provide functions and commands that return values in REXX variables. The REXX code should be able to do everything without chasing control blocks. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: JES3 NJE Over TCP/IP Now Available (OA16527)
On 20 Mar 2007 02:04:14 -0700, in bit.listserv.ibm-main you wrote: The NJE-over-TCP/IP code is now available for z/OS 1.8 JES3. [ If you're a z/OS veteran, skip this information between brackets: NJE (Network Job Entry) allows JES-to-JES communication between z/OS systems, either running on the same machine or across machines. JES (Job Entry Subsystem) is the master job submission engine for z/OS: the subsystem that tells z/OS to go do something and which manages job output. It's like a service window or service counter for z/OS, the place you go to get something done and/or get the results. JES2 and JES3 are the two JES variants. Previously NJE required an SNA protocol connection, but many organizations would like to use TCP/IP for various reasons. The JES2 NJE-over-TCP/IP feature is already available, and this new code now adds TCP/IP support for JES3. SNA is still supported and will be indefinitely. I hope it isn't via an extra cost add-on like SNA NJE was. The extra cost to go NJE may have been the straw that broke the camel's back in pushing the conversion from JES3 to JES2 by Philips Lighting in the 1980's. I couldn't justify the additional dollars out the door compared to JES2 for a single image. It gave me no joy to see the other part of the add-on - Bulk Data Transfer, dead-ended in later years. ] Please reference APAR OA16527.

In a sense, Ron is correct. It was z/OS V1R7 in which the revered Washington Systems Center yellow (if my colour memory is correct) NJE protocol manual appeared in the JES2 bookshelf updated with the TCP/IP support[1]. If you take a look in Appendix A, System-Dependent Considerations you will find JES£ is covered together with JES2, RSCS and VSE/POWER and searching for JES3 yields 67 hits. Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. JES3 support for NJE over TCP was provided in 1.8. It doesn't matter what was discussed prior to that, the support came with 1.8.

From: Patrick O'Keefe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 10:26:15 -0500 Content-Type: text/plain Did the format of IBM-Main's Archive (or Listserver's processing of the archive) change over night, or have I horribly hosed over my profile? The look amp; feel is completely different. More importanly, I no longer have navigation buttons (next/prev-in-thread, next/prev-by-author) when viewing a posting. I have to return to the index to find the next/prev postings. If this is just me, I'l gladly take this discussion offline if somebody is willing to help me sort this out. I purposefully set nomail. The archive is the only way I access IBM-Main. It's not just you. There has been an upgrade. Evidently the providers mistake complexity for value. The source of your post that I'm replying to is now 763 lines (!) of mostly Javascript. Like you, I have set nomail. Thorough yesterday I have been able to view IBM-MAIN very effectively with a text-only browser on a minimal bandwidth connection. I could export articles through a simple filter to convert to mbox format, and reply using the mailer and editor of my choice. I have now lost much of this facility. I feel much the same as expressed here lately in many postings concerning the new IBMLink. Formerly, table of contents entry appeared on one line; now it is eight lines in a text browser; a dreadful waste of screen space. This is largely due to the profligate and improper use of p markup in the table entries.

Re: Need help with Assembler accessing VSAM file in reentrant LE-conforming program
Steve I see that this thread became focused on the structure of the OPEN list. However, here's a FWIW on the subject of GENCB and its siblings which may be relevant given that you are responsible for teaching material and presumably you want to be sure you teach only what is current: Back in the early '80s one time I was experimenting with the assembler programming of an API - as you appear to be doing. Specifically I was interested in the VTAM API as you - for the moment - appear to be interested in the VSAM API. I believe the two APIs were created at much the same time and have a similar control block - and associated macro - design with the hope - rather than the eventuality I expect - that there could be some synergy between the operation of the two APIs. Like you now I was writing a reentrant program[1] and I thought I'd try out GENCB, MODCB, SHOWCB and TESTCB. In essence I discovered that, far from aiding coding, use of these macros was a very clumsy way to program in comparison with bit testing and setting instructions. But, but, but, I hear you say, what about the quality of the documentation? My answer to that would be that just using my standard approach always to explain what is going on from column 40 onwards and the use of symbolic field names and bit equates is quite adequate for the poor programmer who might come along later after I have departed and who dares to amend my masterpiece! Specifically with VTAM RPL programming - I can't say for VSAM - the bit to be set may be derived from a variable following the operation of the SNA protocol rather than a constant. Trying to fit this into the use of xxxCB macros became just hopeless. They weren't designed to cope with that level of flexibility. Essentially, I found myself having to manipulate the bits within the expansion of the list form of the TESTCB macro which was directly equivalent to what I thought I was doing with the RPL - obviously a total waste of my time and the computer's time. Finally I found that a field I wanted to control wasn't covered by the xxxCB macro I wanted to use. Fortunately I worked in a location where all were assignees from within IBM and that included VTAM developers. So I walked round a partition and put the issue to a man who could be expected to take responsibility for my frustrations. Well he said, slightly embarrassed We don't actually support xxxCB any more. Recall this is about 25 years ago. Whether this was because it was understood that nobody used those macros as being too cumbersome or simple neglect I didn't find out. Whatever the reason, I threw out the xxxCB macros with gusto and went on happily coding my reentrant program purely with the basic macros and manipulated my control blocks to bits! Chris Mason [1] The subject of reentrancy and VTAM programs deserves some comment. In general, there will only be one VTAM server-like application program running on an operating system instance at any one time. Thus the main part of the program - the part which manages the opening and closing of the ACB and any necessary definition of the ACB, using GENCB or otherwise - will not need to be reentrant. On the other hand the part of the program which handles each session will need to be reentrant - again, in general, since, if all processing is performed in VTAM exits - not usually possible - the reentrancy requirement can be relaxed. In any case as a sort-of cultural preference, I prefer all programming to be reentrant since it imposes the discipline of separating logic from data despite Turing[2] and the fact that both occupy the same address space and can be mixed. [2] I thought I'd better check this so I found http://www.turing.org.uk/publications/cambridge1.html which contains Computer programs, operating on data, are themselves data; and Turing was eager to put this idea into application as soon as it could be embodied in electronics. - Original Message - From: Steve Comstock [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 8:20 PM Subject: Need help with Assembler accessing VSAM file in reentrant LE-conforming program Been working on this several days, driving me nuts.

Eric: I expect the editor doesn't recognize the file type ie. LLQ
of dsn, as specific to Cobol. You can *always* tell it which kind of
high-lighting you desire; even in the wrong file. Give HILITE COBOL
a try. (You'll probably have to PROFILE SAVE so the editor will
retain the setting past the current session.)
Note: It can be helpful to change the high-lighting within a single
session. For example, you're editing a JCL library that has instream
Cobol or Rexx. (or both) HILITE COBOL happily flagged my JCL as if
it were Cobol source but the instream Cobol has the right high-
lighting. Check out HELP HILITE within the editor for all the
available possibilities.
ps. I love the 'new' profiles. It's saved me from lotsa simple JCL
typos ie. the infamous missing comma, because the colour of the line
was wrong. ('course, it won't tell you *what* is wrong but... ;^)

Re: Need help with Assembler accessing VSAM file in reentrant LE-conforming program
Steve I could say in a manner comparable to that which led me to abandon xxxCB macros but over a much longer time since I wasn't tipped a wink that I was on the wrong track, I abandoned execute forms of macro completely. Just a raw SVC with an equated number and a reinforcing supporting comment such as ISSUE OPEN SVC seemed entirely adequate. Note that an intermediate stage was to prepare all the relevant data areas - in dynamically acquired storage of course - and registers in such a way that the execute form of the macro could be coded with the result that the macro had no option - in most cases - but simply to spit out the SVC instruction. (In most cases because sometimes it was necessary to have a register be zeroed or some other necessary adjustment just in front of the SVC.) If IBM is committed to ensuring that the program will works from this point on for evermore, how can the routines called by the SVC know whether or not the SVC was assembled from programmer code[1] or macro code? Release x+n cannot change what release x's macro created! What's all this nonsense about all bets are off!?! [1] Programmer code advised by observing what the macro produced - at the release x level naturally - before it was replaced with raw code. A programmer clever enough to follow the instructions in the IBM manual is quite sufficiently well equipped to copy generated code. Did I miss something???

Having something with DC's in a DSECT does not do any initialization. Therefore it seems logical to presume that the storage was not initialized. Well, yes. I made that point in my OP. And I pointed out the mf=(e,openlist) operand on my in-line OPEN, which initializes the DSECT entry; but it does not set the end-of-list bit, which was the cause of my grief. I get S0C4 that points to the next instruction after my OPEN, On most 0C4's, the PSW is the updated after-program-check PSW. You should therefore look at the instruction before what the PSW points to in order to see the instruction that caused the PIC 4. It is extremely unlikely that the 0C4 was within OPEN processing itself (i.e., the SVC processing) yet the PSW for the PIC 4 shows within your module. But if you are not actually looking at the time-of-error PSW, it is quite possible that the PSW for your RB points to the instruction after the SVC. Yes. I know how to read a SYSUDUMP. But, of course, this was an LE dump. In any case, the instruction pointed at by the dump routine was LTR 15,15 which I'm sure you'll agree will never cause an 0C4. The instruction before that is the SVC 19 from the OPEN expansion. However, in the case of OPEN, you can just do an MVI openlist,X'80' for an input file. This is a very bad idea. The interface to services documented by macro is the macro. If you do it yourself all bets are off. But not totally for OPEN. Frankly, I think the execute form of OPEN should set the end-of-list bit just as the execute form of CALL, for example, does. Took me three days and some help to find that piece of information. I actually did an OI instead of an MVI, but that was what made the code work. I don't think it's a very bad idea at all. It made the code work in a way that is unlikely to ever fail even if IBM were to change the macro expansions in the future.

since in ISPF edit the default hex codes for square brackets is not correct
(depending on your emulator set up). Turn HEX ON and make sure that the hex

Yes, they match. (My 2nd run failed because I neglected to fix the

Did you do the proper incantation to cold-start it? Bob Ah. I found it and it is weird. Apparently if you only have one system listed in the DEFSYS, then you need to use the COMMUNICATIONS=NONE in the MIMINIT parameter. I added a second, unused, system and did the S MIMIT,FORMAT=BOTH command and it complained about the second system.

Actually, it was also down for a while, too. Or maybe it just had poor response time. I broke the session after about 5 minutes of (the emulator equivalent of) X-Clock. Maybe it was very poor response because all the web users had to go back to the 3270 version. In the past 20 years I doubt the VM-based system had more than a dozen extended outages (not counting the Saturday night maintenance window). I think the web-based version may have passed that already this year.

Re: REXX read buffer
Any file buffering options in REXX? Read them into a STEM. variable (not all at once), process them by chunk, multiple DO loops.

Re: REXX read buffer
Read them into a stem 1000 or so at a time and process them or if you have a ~1G address space you can read the whole thing into storage. IIRC, STEM. variables are below the line (still). So, the region won't help. (Of course, I could be wrong.

Re: JES3 NJE Over TCP/IP Now Available (OA16527)
to pre-announce was a capital offence. I was at an IBM RoadShow in the mid-1980's, when the manager of VM develop accidentally pre-announced PR/SM. The only ones that caught it were the ones using MDF, at the time. He said that VM was going to run 'closer' to the metal. Toronto had a lot of Amdahl user sites at the time. And, we had been a Beta Site on MDF. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
