Fast and Safe C Strings: User friendly C macros to Declare and use C Strings.
Some 20 years ago, it became clear that C strings were not as safe, nor as fast, as strings in PL/I, Assembler or Pascal. The primary reasons are that one needs to find the current length of a string before or during a copy process - this is very time consuming. Secondly, there is no way of determining the maximum length of a string, and therefore when copying to a string, it is easy to over-write adjacent storage with often disastrous consequences, including the deliberate introduction of viruses. Decades have passed and the C string problem continues. Buffer over-runs are just part of the story, and the bugs that can be introduced - the safety problem is still with us all and it has come back to bite all of us on the lower part of our anatomy, over and over again. I have spent some years studying this problem and have developed some User friendly C macros that solve the problem. These solutions do enhance the speed and safety aspects of all "C" programs - these benefits of speed and safety can be passed on to your users. The main benefits are: * Increased speed (up to 20 times for some string handling) * More reliability (strings cannot overwrite adjacent storage) * Easier coding and debugging (consistent set of macros) * Easier external variables Here is a very short example: dcl (op,charvar,253," ",ext); // Variable 'op' is defined //as an External variable - Max length of 253 characters. dcl (symbolic,charfixed,8,"",ext); // Fixed length of 8 cpylit(op, "This is a 30 character string "); cat(op,op); /* Concatenate variable op with it self. Now 60 characters */ cpy(symbolic,op); /* Truncates it to 8 characters */ cpy(op,symbolic);/* Copy it back. */ I invite you download the macros and code at http://members.ozemail.com.au/~oscarptyltd/fastsafe.html where a fuller discussion can be found.

Did I understand the manuals?
Hi all! We're having a strange WLM behaviour. We're using a Resource Group for a Service Class. We use this SC for controlling certain user jobs that could, eventually, fill our CPU capacity. So the RG has a Maximum Capacity of 5000 Service Units. We have a z9 703 => approx. 6 SU. So, theoretically, its max CPU consumption would be 8.33%. Now we have a job executing in that SC with a 60%CPU consumption... How can it be? Did I miss anything?

Did I understand RG definition? Probably what you missed is that it is the *average* max CPU consumption. Certainly not instantaneous. How long does this task run at 60% (presumably of one engine) - and how "active" is this SC ???. For example is it mainly idle except for this target job ???. And as always, use RMF PP for analysis, not something like SDSF. Contrary to Kees, I believe you are on the right track with the maths - the IBM SRM page shows the 703 as 27538 (and change) SU/sec. Personally, I'd call that closer to 8 for the box. But averages produced by a sampler are always going to be "rubbery".

Re: Did I understand the manuals?
As you said, the SC had no other jobs executing except that one; but that one has been running at percentages between 30 and 60% for several minutes, so the SU max quantity is surpassed! About the total SU/sec, I think both calculations are right. The problem was in my first post I used a (bad) approximation of 2 SU/CPU, instead of almost 3 SU/CPU. By the way, as far as we are using Soft Capping, our real SU rate is 41666SU/sec, or 150 MSU/hour. -- 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

I thought that might have been the case - you're getting too involved in the math. Soft capping doesn't affect the SU delivery capacity of the machine. It merely means you get dispatched for a proportionally less period of time. And don't forget you still have 3 engines.

REXX Under IPCS
Hello All, Does anyone know if a REXX EXEC can be compiled and linked into a load module and then executed within an IPCS session? First, yes, the EXEC has IPCS commands in it. Second, it works as an interpreted EXEC just fine. Third, it works as a compiled, not linked to load module, EXEC as well (CEXEC). The basic REXX commands work in the load module form. By this I mean that my "say", "if" and assignment statements are working just fine. It is only the IPCS statements that are getting errors. For instance, the following command: Address IPCS "EVALSYM CVT REXX(ADDRESS(CVTADDR))" gets a return code of 16 when I compile and link and then execute under IPCS. If I execute the following: address IPCS say "Current environment: "address() I get: Current environment: IPCS Also, I have tested in both IPCS under interactive TSO as well as executing IPCS under IKJEFT01 in batch and get the same results.

IFAHONORPRIORITY (Was: Re: zAAP Eligible Work)
Below, Tom posted the book's description of the original implementation of IFAHONORPRIORITY. But customers told us that they would much prefer that we "filled up the zAAPs" before using CP resource for Java workload. So in z/OS R8, and also with APARs OA14131 and OA13953 for z/OS R6 and R7, we changed it to do that (more or less): *YES* Specifies that standard processors run both zAAP processor eligible and non-zAAP processor eligible work in priority order when the zAAP processors indicate the need for help from standard processors. The need for help is determined by the alternate wait management (AWM) function of SRM for both standard and zAAP processors. Standard processors help each other and standard processors can also help zAAP processors if YES is in effect. Specifying yes does not mean the priorities will always be honored because the system manages dispatching priorities based on the goals provided in the WLM service definition. AWM should not be disabled when IFAHONORPRIORITY=YES is in effect. See the description for parameter CCCAWMT for a description of AWM. If zAAP processors are defined to the LPAR but are not online, the zAAP processor eligible work units are processed by standard processors in priority order. The system ignores the IFAHONORPRIORITY parameter in this case and handles the work as if it had no eligibility to zAAP processors. The zAAP processor eligible processor times are reported in RMF and SMF for planning purposes. Standard processors can also run zAAP processor eligible work (even if IFAHONORPRIORITY is set to NO), if necessary to resolve contention for resources with non-zAAP processor eligible work. IBM suggests that you specify or default to IFAHONORPRIORITY=YES. *NO* Specifies that standard processors will not examine zAAP processor eligible work regardless of the demand for zAAP processors as long as there is standard processor eligible work available. Tom Moulder wrote: Something else to consider are two IEAOPTxx parameters for WLM control of zAAP eligible workloads. IFACROSSOVER controls whether standard CPs will be used for zAAP eligible work. If YES (the default), then standard CPs will be used along with zAAP CPs. zAAP CPs will be preferred, but standard CPs are not excluded from consideration based on workload. If NO, then standard CPs are not considered for zAAP eligible work unless there are no zAAP CPs present. IFAHONORPRIORITY controls the workload priority settings for zAAP eligible work that is executed on standard CPs. If YES (the default), then all work on a standard CP will execute based on WLM assigned priority. If NO, then all zAAP eligible work that is assigned for execution on a standard CP will be scheduled at a lower priority than non-zAAP eligible workloads. -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [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: zAAP Eligible Work
>> Are you aware of what other work might be zAAP eligible? > John, publicly, no. The only workload that I know of today is Java. Publicly or privately the answer is still no. zAAP processors run JAVA code in the IBM-supplied JVM. Period. IBM has disclosed statements of direction concerning certain functions that may become eligible to run on the offload engines in a future release but as far as I know zAAPs will still be JAVA only. As Ed mentioned somewhere earlier, the interface to the zAAP has not been disclosed - although a few people outside IBM have a pretty good idea how it works. For all practical purposes it is a private interface between the JVM and the dispatcher and even though we know how it works, it would be a direct violation of the T&Cs to even try to circumvent it. In contrast, the interface to the zIIP -is- disclosed to vendors under license. Meaning "we know but we can't tell you". Both are intentionally limited in the work they can run. > it's touted as a "Java" processor, 'cuz that's the only thing using it > today. Read between the lines from this redbook: Don't bother reading between the lines. It's touted as a JAVA processor because it is a JAVA processor. It is just an ordinary z cpu engine, but the OS makes sure that only JVM work runs on it. Ergo "it's a JAVA processor". > If it were only destined to be a "java" processor, sans any copyright > considerations or politically correct names, I would have expected a name > like "zJAP" (LOL).

The zAAP -name- came very late in the game. When it was first disclosed to us it was called an IFA, which probably stood for "integrated facility for applications" as you suggest. However, after the marketers had their way with it, the name became zAAP. That happens a lot. The lesson is not to read any intelligent meaning into the names.

We are using the Dialog manager for z/OS v1.8. in trying to install this new release we are running into a problem with dataset allocation. We select the "Modify system Layout" panel then "Data Set Summary" .. after which we select individual datasets for modification. We are changing the primary and secondary space allocation to be on a cylindar boundry.. but after saving the configuration the dialog manager adds 1 track to the allocation throwing off the cylindar boundry and defeating the purpose. We did additional testing and noticed only VSAM and HFS files are the only types where the dialog was adding 1 track to the allocation that was changed. Changes to SEQ, PDS, and PDSE datasets were accepted by the dialog. you can see in this example ROOT was changed to be on a cylindar boundry with an allocation of 39990 and saved .. but when I went back and looked you can see it was changed to add the additional track ??? OMVSZ18.ROOT HFS 39991 (ps. it doesnt help to reduce the allocation by 1 track.. the dialog manager will add 2 still bumping it beyond the cylindar boundry ,, ie. if trying to allocate 39989 it will change to 39991 ?? very kooky) -- 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

It's important to their business, they don't have billion dollar transactions on the mainframe, and yes, perhaps because they are run more by the technologists and less by the security auditors.

Re: Tapecopy of two (2) z/OS 1.7 install tapes???
--- OK boys and girls.er.um..ladies and gents, et al. Anyhowseways..I have two, count 'em two z/OS 1.7 installation tapes from IBM. I would like to first make of copy of both before I do anything with them. I've dumped them and they are SL tapes, with lots of multi files. 29 on volume 1 and 953 on volume 2. I seem to be having an Alzheimer's moment. Heck, it's Friday the 13th, right?! So I know I want to use IEBGENER for the copy, but is there any way of NOT having to code each dataset name of each file for each input/output JCL DD statement? Or maybe another utility, like FATS/FATAR, SLANAL, SLANCOPY, TAPEMAP, SAS, etc. that would just allow me to code the two input volsers and tell it the # of files each has? Then just give it two scratch tapes for output? - Something I've done in the past is to slap together a simple Assembler macro using PUNCH statements to create JCL with substitutions based on parameters. Then I edit a TAPEMAP listing to build the invocation statements, assemble the result and edit the SYSPUNCH output to insert JOB statements, etc. With that many files on the second tape, you might consider using (UGH!!) IEHMOVE to make the copy. The TAPECOPY utility, from the CBT site, also does an EXCELLENT job of copying a tape.

Re: zAAP Eligible Work
In my opinion, zAAPs, and zIIPS and zFLS and all of the newfangled processor type were created solely by IBM hardware gurus who could not get IBM Marketing to reduce the prices of their CPs and the software running on their CPs, and these hardware types knew that if marketing wasn't going to reduce the price of z/SYSTEM hardware, that they'd have no jobs in the future, and they invented these new engines, and all of the software scheduling, monitoring, managing, etc. so they could keep their jobs creating z/SYSTEM hardware. And of course, now, we users have to learn how to introduce these new engines, how to set parameters (e.g., this thread), how to select what work can be used on them, how to recover and account their costs, i.e., we have to spend our time (our money) on our people costs, which means our companies have to pay a lot more people money to save any hardware money on these cheaper engines. I can see NO virtue in these processors as technical designs, as the added software decision logic to decide on what to run where is unquestionably an unnecessary overhead, and technically we'd be far better served, with less overhead and no new people training costs, had IBM marketing instead reduced the prices of their CPs and associated CP-driven software costs. That the hardware guys had to invent these devices so they could be priced cheaper - now those guys do deserve great credit for solving a problem they shouldn't have had to solve - and for making it possible for future zSYSTEMS to exist in the artificial pricing world of IBM.

Re: IVP for JAVA
On my z/OS 1.6 system, there is a file HelloWorld.class in /usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/ to run it, use the TSO OMVS command. When you get a prompt, enter: java /usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/HelloWorld.class This was the oldest JDK that I could find on my system. I also have the HelloWorld.class in: /usr/lpp/jdk142/J1.4/ /usr/lpp/jdk150/J5.0_64/ So I guess it comes with the JDK. Oh, the above assumes that you have the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables set up correctly. If they are not, then assuming the first path to your JDK is correct, then enter the commands: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/bin export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/ Then do the "java" command. In my system, I have the equivalent of those commands in: /etc/profile which is automatically used (sourced in UNIX terminology) when the /bin/sh (UNIX shell) is started as a "login" shell (as the TSO OMVS command does). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.

Weell... not quite. Your're dead right on all counts with respect to the costs and the overheads (naturally) but the idea didn't just spring fully formed from the "hardware guys" and it wasn't directly in response to Neanderthal marketing guys either. There was clearly a desperate need for a new pricing model and the simplest solution would just be to have different (SMF) accounting "counters" depending on what work was being done. However, that idea would not pass muster with the LAWYERS - who said, in effect, "you can't charge two different prices for the same thing without getting us flayed by the DOJ". Leaving aside for a moment the question of whether that was really true in a legal sense (IBM doesn't seem to have any trouble at all in charging different prices for the same thing, to different customers all over the US and all over the world) there had to be a solution that involved a physically different configuration to attach prices to. Anyway, the hardware guys (and Bob Rogers, philosopher prince of the IBM brand organization) came up with this "solution" to a legal problem, not a technical problem. Bottom line on all of this is that software costs are the pink elephant in the middle of the room in every conversation with a customer these days. If they had not done something, whacky as it was, they would be in even deeper doo-doo than they (and we all) are now.

Re: IVP for JAVA
>From my experience the following things need to be done. 1. The location of the java executable. This is in a directory called bin under usually what is referred to as JAVA_HOME. For example lets say java in installed in /sys/java31bt/v5r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J5.0 This would usually be assigned to a script variable JAVA_HOME, either via the .profile or in /etc/profile but technically is not required by anything with native java. Thus in this case the full executable would be /sys/java31bt/v5r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/java 2. Create some EBCDIC source in the directory of your choice, say /u/user/mydir, called HelloWorld.java 3. make sure you are in that directory via the cd /u/user/mydir command 4. Compile the HelloWorld program via /sys/java31bt/v5r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/javac HellowWorld.java This creates the HelloWorld.class in the same directory 5. Run the java program via /sys/java31bt/v5r0m0/usr/lpp/java/J5.0/bin/java HellowWorld Of course on quickly becomes tired of entering the long directory names and starts to put together simple shell scripts to minimize all the typing needed, etc. Brad Taylor -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Pelletier Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 11:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IVP for JAVA Hi All.

Re: zAAP Eligible Work
Tom, You are correct that these IEAOPTxx parameters (added in z/OS V1R6) worked essentially as you described when zAAP was introduced. However, these descriptions are a bit dated. The meaning of the parameters was changed with z/OS V1R7, and the parameters were drastically changed with z/OS V1R8 (and with the ptfs that backfit z/OS V1R8 logic to V1R6 and V1R7). IFACROSSOVER now is ignored completely and is not in IEAOPTxx with V1R8. Regardless of IFAHONORPRIORITY, zAAP eligible work will execute only on zAAP unless Alternate Wait Management (as applied to the zAAP) decides that the zAAP "needs help" to get the work done. Only if the zAAP "needs help" will z/OS Dispatcher consider zAAP work for dispatching to CP. Even though there is not a "ZIPHONORPRIORITY" parameter, zIIP dispatching works as though "YES" had been specified. Additionally, see ZAAPAWMT and ZIIPAWMT in IEAOPTxx of z/OS V1R8 for additional possible specifications. Regards, Don ** Don Deese, Computer Management Sciences, Inc. Voice: (703) 922-7027 Fax: (703) 922-7305 http://www.cpexpert.org ** At 11:42 PM 4/12/2007, you wrote: Something else to consider are two IEAOPTxx parameters for WLM control of zAAP eligible workloads. IFACROSSOVER controls whether standard CPs will be used for zAAP eligible work. If YES (the default), then standard CPs will be used along with zAAP CPs. zAAP CPs will be preferred, but standard CPs are not excluded from consideration based on workload. If NO, then standard CPs are not considered for zAAP eligible work unless there are no zAAP CPs present. IFAHONORPRIORITY controls the workload priority settings for zAAP eligible work that is executed on standard CPs. If YES (the default), then all work on a standard CP will execute based on WLM assigned priority. If NO, then all zAAP eligible work that is assigned for execution on a standard CP will be scheduled at a lower priority than non-zAAP eligible workloads.

Re: IVP for JAVA
No - i checked with support center. If you run WAS 6.0 you can only run up to java 1.4. and there was no separate package for j1.5 outside of a smpe update to WAS 6.1. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Staller, Allan Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 2:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: IVP for JAVA Try /usr/lpp/java/J5.0 or /usr/lpp/java/J5.0_64 HTH, I was looking for java 1.5 to run on z/os 1.7 but there was no separate package for it.

Re: IVP for JAVA (j1.5)
Thank you for info. I do not think that these downloads were available a few months ago when i looked, or at least i did not find them. And i asked support center about j1.5, but in the context of Websphere, which was all i could find at the time. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taylor, Clarence B Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 2:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: IVP for JAVA We have both 31bit and 64bit java installed outside of the websphere environment.

Question on DASD Hardware
I have a general question. Does anyone know where I can find information about how often a disk needs to be replaced or does dynamic sparing inside these new fangle DASD Boxes from IBM, EMC, or Hitachi? I am not talking about the mainframe dasd itself. But rather the disk in the box that the mainframe dasd is mapped (?) too? I have heard that a CE has to replace at least 1 disk per month on some of these boxes. (DMX3000 - EMC, DS8000 - IBM, etc) So I guess I am looking at MTTF for the disk.

SLIP SET
Hello, Somebody can help me? I did have a started task that works in multtasking, load some big modules and attach to run in a specific TCB. I need to discover who is cleanning a four bytes in memory with binary zeros. The TESTPGM is the exec pgm, but the other TCB are loaded an attached under TESTPGM. I did set the slip set below but nothing occurs, can somebody confirm if my slip set it is ok or has some wrong info, or a good explanation for what happens? SLIP SET,SA,RA=11E64FE4,JOBNAME=TESTPGM,DATA=(11E64FE4,EQ,),A=SYNCSVCD,ID=G0001,END If verify the memory I can see X'' in the address, but nothing occurs with the SLIP SET.
