I am hoping there is some way to put the recall inforamtion for HSM into SYSLOG/OPERLOG.

Re: linklisted load library failing
It is conceivable that there is an error in LLA, particularly if there are multiple LNKLST sets active. If you are getting an entirely wrong module (i.e., the system loaded X when you requested Y), that could be LLA. There were problems several years ago that manifested itself this way. If the opportunity presents itself, you could try turning off LLA (not refreshing it) and seeing if things work. I surely hope that you did not compress one of these libraries while the system was using it. That is surely not supported (and is a primary reason why the system allocates the LNKLST data sets, so that if you properly use DISP=OLD for your compress, you won't be able to do it).

Joseph, That is the ENHANCED HOLDDATA. You don't need to read any of it, just receive it into your SMPE GLOBAL CSI. As you can see in the header, it is as current as the previous day. Make sure there are no gaps in holddata received. In your example, the file covers only the last month. You can retrieve holddata that covers the last two years. Your report will show you what applies to YOUR system at its current state. There is no need to develop complex queries and try to understand which piece of maintenance you found applies to you.

Re: Refreshing PDSEs (was: linklisted load library failing)
To reclaim space in a PDSE which is in linklist and if linklist is managed by LLA, the library will need to be removed from LLA management then a job to write one member to the PDSE should be run to initiate the reclaim process. From Using Data Sets: PDSE space cannot be reclaimed immediately after a member is deleted or dated. If a deleted or updated member still has an existing connection from another task (or the input DCB from an ISPF edit session), the member space is not reclaimed until the connection is released and the data set is opened for output and that OPEN for OUTPUT is the only one on that system.

With a PDSE when a member is deleted, or re-written to a larger block, the unused space it had occupied becomes available for immediate usage by the next write (STOR) activity. It maintains a list of free blocks in the directory, nothing, including a library in a linklist or a CICS region should be preventing that from being updated. If a system is not doing this it is likely because there is a user exit or SMS exit preventing it, or maybe forcing PDSE allocations to be a PDS's. The only time a PDSE might need a reorg itself, is when it has split the library's directory over all the extents it has allocated. This really only happens in a heavily used source library. As for IEBCOPY it needs a 3meg region size minimum when working with PDSE's, as opposed to the 450K size when working with PDS's Darren *** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *** -- 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: JCL passing parms to ASM module?
There are people with more ASM experience than I on this list, but the OP did not show any entry housekeeping for register preservation; and at the least the parameter list needs to be extracted prior to using system macros (as someone pointed out, OPEN broke it by using R1). Also, with PARM usage, does R1 point to a pointer to the parm field? If so, the OP code L 2,0(1) is correct, otherwise, if R1 points to the PARM directly, it's going to mess up.

If SYSPRINT is not open, you can expect an 0C4 because the buffers are not allocated. If SYSPRINT is open, R1 will have been changed to the OPEN parm list.

Re: JCL passing parms to ASM module?
John, The OPEN macro changes the value in R1. To make your program work you need to the following, in sequence: Establish base register Save all registers so your program can return control at end. Save R1 and/or process parm values _before_ any macro calls or anything that alters R1 Now that you've processed your parm, open any files that your program might need. Process your data At end of program, restore saved registers for proper return of control to system. I would recommend that you use some standardized macros to start your program and establish addressability, etc. There are Language Environment macros from IBM that let you do that (CEEENTRY, CEETERM, CEE3PRM), and there also are some macros available on the CBT tape, believe (I haven't looked in a while, but there might also be some macro to help you parse PARM into variables).

Re: Listing HIPERS
Joseph, The 90 days worth of holddata might be correct in this case, just because your system, built in July, is less than 90 days old. There won't be a gap in the holddata. Before you run any report, retrieve current holddata into your system that covers back to the last date you retrieved holddata. Don't bother trying to read the data itself. If you run a report today, and the holddata is current, it will show what PTF errors and HIPER errors your system is known to be exposed to today. If your production date is October, then, sometime before you go to production, get the holddata current and run another report. You will undoubtedly see additional entries. Maintenance applied in the interim will possibly eliminate entries seen in the first report. Take care of the entries that look serious enough to your shop. Each report will show you what errors you are known to be exposed to and will be as current as the holddata. There are lots of other ways to receive notification of potential problems. One is this forum, another is the IBMLink Automatic Software Alert Process, another is a subscription to IBM flashes. They will give warning between your refresh of holddata. Those entries should show up in the holddata as well, and very quickly after they become known by the IBM support teams. You can also, as you asked in the first place, do your own searching and wading through results. I just don't do much of that, so I don't know how to do efficient queries that won't also potentially miss errors I would have wanted to see, and the holddata is so darned easy.

Re: JCL passing parms to ASM module?
Chris, Actually, the comma still matters, especially since access registers came out with ESA back in the late 80's. In ARMODE mode, L R2,0(R2) And L R2,0(,R2) Will have differently if AR2 contains anything other than 0. In the first case, since AR's are only used with BASE registers, the AR is ignored, so the data will ALWAYS come from the primary address space. In the second case, ALET translation will be performed, so the data will come from the address space located via AR2.

Re: Shooting of Commands

It also allows you to schedule JOBs with those same time and frequency parameters. It's one of our 3 main Automation products, the other two allow scripting of commands based on IF/THEN/ELSE logic and also incidentally time of day. The third one allows you to offload output from the spool and have it managed, and available in a far better way with more options for sending it (FTP, EMAIL, etc.) and maintaining it for long periods of time, (Migrate, backup, etc.) All three of these facilities are available at the same price for the duration of the product roll-out of the new versions of each one, (I think the offer ends in September), but the license charge for the product remains the same for people who purchased under the special offer, even though the normal price goes back into effect for everyone else.

Re: Operating System #6 for the IBM Mainframe: Solaris
Hi That is a very good news as I know Solaris to some extent. But it will take very long time until the Solaris and its complementary components (N1 Grid) become available on System Z. maybe more than 2 years? :-) Thanks Timothy Sipples wrote: If you haven't read the news yet, IBM and Sun announced a new collaboration.

Re: linklisted load library failing
As Peter Relson already asked: What exactly are the abend0C4s/0C1s? Which module, for the 0C4 which reason code? Take a look at the dumps! Barbara Nitz -- Pt!

Re: JCL passing parms to ASM module?
-- snip -- The OPEN broke it! . . I don't believe I have any entry housekeeping that could break R1: BALR 3,0 USING *,3 OPEN (SYSPRINT,OUTPUT) L 2,0(1) *copy parm addr into R2 etc... -- snip -- Taking a look at the assembler output (using PRINT GEN), will show you the macro expansion. It then becomes apparent what happen to R1 before you tried to copy the parm. -- John -- 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: Consolxx question with ICC
Hello Andy, As you surmise, IPL and NIP message processing happens on the HMC...one machine does bothno need to go find the other console for NIP messages. (our IODF has empty NIPCONs lists). Since we are sysplexed, we usually IPL a system into an active sysplex, and once MVS gets up far enough, the messages appear on the other systems SMCS console. So replying to any MVS message is easy, no need to fuss on HMC. there are previous posts on setting up CONSOLxx member for HMC support in the archives.

Where do you IPL from and have NIP messages go to. I guess through the HMC (even though its ugly it does work). Then I can have them use either a icc or smcs to logon after the IPL. The problem is we still reply to JES2 and some messages before our automation kicks in. We may have to rethink it.
