Re: Program that can monitor CPU usage
Could you provide more details? What do you have currently in shop? Omegamon, Tivoli, TMON, Mainview etc??? Do you have Automation like OPS/MVS or Tivoli? What kind of trigger are you looking to handle? What CPU Usage do you want an alert on? SRB time, Paging? Aux Storage? Many areas to choose from. With more details we can probably help. Currently RMF is the monitor in the operating system. Lizette Does anyone has a program/tools that can monitor CPU usage? I am currently looking for one, since we have a requirement to trigger something based on the CPU usage.

Re: Program that can monitor CPU usage
If your requirement is to simply monitor the amount of CPU seconds that certain address spaces have used, then you can very easily write a Rexx exec to do this. I've used this method in places where I needed to monitor certain servers but I only had basic user access. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason To Sent: 27. syyskuuta 2008 4:59 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Program that can monitor CPU usage Does anyone has a program/tools that can monitor CPU usage?

Re: STC JCL Question
Tom, In your case, the book says For all other JCL statements, you can continue the parameter field or the comments field on the JCL statement. If you continue both the parameter field and the comments field on the same card image, the system ignores the indication to continue the comment. How you continue a parameter field depends on whether or not the parameter is enclosed in apostrophes. By ending the parameter field of the first card with a comma, you were continuing the parameter field and not the comments field. --Roger IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU wrote on 09/26/2008 03:32:02 PM: On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:36:25 -0500, Mark Zelden wrote: On Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:36:31 -0500, Tom Marchant wrote: Here it is again: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi- bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2B670/3.4.1.3?

Re: COBOL program
Actually, I remember packaging a product in about 1989 and finding that there was no consensus among customers about what format CLIST libraries should be in. Some were VB 255, others were FB 80, and some used serial numbers and some didn't. I coped with that by making my clists FB 80 with no serial numbers and all the code restricted to columns 9 through 72. That way, anybody could copy it into their own libraries without trouble. --Roger IBM Mainframe Discussion List IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU wrote on 09/27/2008 09:56:54 AM: CLIST libraries were typically V/255. -- 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: Squashing VB records into FB
To squash a dataset into a dataset with LRECL=80, RECFM=FB, BLKSIZE=2120 use the TSO TRANSMIT (a.k.a. XMIT) command with the OUTDSN keyword. Instead of actually transmitting the file somewhere else, it will put the output into the dataset named in the OUTDSN keyword with those attributes. To restore the file to it's original format, use the RECEIVE command with INDSN. You name the squashed dataset in the INDSN and receive it from there as you would a normal RECEIVE. The DCB attributes will be taken from the INDSN, but you may need to specify SPACE for the received dataset if the defaults aren't enough. --Roger -- 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
