Re: Find CLASS and MSGCLASS
I have always thought about finding the class and the msgclass myself for creating our own jobcard. Do someone know how to find them ? What do you mean by finding the class and msgclass? JES supports 36 jobclasses (i.e. classes) named A thru Z and 0 thru 9. It is solely up to the installation which jobclasses are being used at all and what for. JES supports 36 outclasses (i.e. msgclasses) named A thru Z and 0 thru 9. It is solely up to the installation which outclasses are being used at all and what for. Typically different jobclasses are assigned for different kinds of batch work, e.g. test jobs, production jobs, etc. Outclasses are assigned for output to be hold, others for output to be printed (and punched in earlier times). Different print classes may be assigned to denote different kinds of output. Some outclasses may be used to send output to archiving systems. You need to ask at your site for the corresponding doc which tells you how the classes are defined at your installation. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: RO command query
Tommy,
It always helps if you provide the full question rather than a partial one.

So, is this a SYSTEM REXX that you are using to route a command with and
retrieve the information? If so, when you say you get nothing back - what
does that mean? Have you used SAY statements or TRACE function in REXX to
see how the code works?
That the stem vars are empty? Or that you are seeing an error in SYSLOG for
your REXX or

Re: RMF MON. III Vsam Files
Hi, I've replied you directly to your mail but in any case... As far as I know, RMF monitor III has info about special processors in System Information and Processor Usage view while CPC doesn't show any info about spec. proc. We're running 1.8 also. If you'd like to analyze IIP info from RMF monitor III, we've an easy form to obtain the info: you must execute hardcopy command, to save the dataset and finally creating an easy rexx program to extract the info. I recommend you to activate the RMF Data Portal. It's very useful if you are running in a monoplex and you can't access to TSO.

Re: RO command query
Tommy,
I realize your English may not be the best, but Lizette is correct. How
would have anyone realized your question was related to sysrexx? As
a matter of fact, you asked if anything change in z/OS 1.9 with the RO
command via SDSF.
Is this an SDSF issue or System REXX issue?
If SDSF, there could be several reasons I can think of off the top of
my head why the display doesn't come back to you. You could have
a duplicate EMCS console name in SDSF active on another LPAR
in the sysplex, your console response delay could be set at 0 or
you may not be authorized for ULOG. You control the first 2 with
SDSF settings (see the OPTIONS pull down menu). ULOG authority
comes from ISFPARMS / ISFPRMxx / security software.
If this is only system REXX issue, there is an example of using
AXRMLWTO in the MVS Authorized Assembler Services Guide:

Need to cap my software costs
We have a temporary need to cap our overall rolling four hour average until the new box arrives. We are running z/os 1.7 on a z/9 and, as far as I know, don't have the ability to do that. Our particular mission has one most loved LPAR that we'd prefer to run at the expense of all else. We have enough power so that we are worried only about some occasional spikes that the normal soft capping won't handle to suit us. I know this has been discussed before, but I'm wondering what the current consensus might be for our situation. For example, what if I really skew the weights such that the unloved LPAR's are starved if the most loved needs the cycles. If the unloved LPARS are starved, then they should not be able to rack up MSU's and thus lower my total. Thanks The very best of the season to you, yours, and theirs.

Re: Need to cap my software costs
I believe that I have seen an 'under load' effect when trying to manage low use LPARs. Consider an LPAR that loafs along slurping a mere 3 MUS's and that is quite enough for its mission. But if I soft cap that LPAR at, say, 4, and it spikes to, say 10, then the cap is hit within an interval or two. Compare to an LPAR gulping 20 or so and then spiking to 100. It takes that LPAR a considerable time for the rolling average to climb to a cap of, say, 80.

You can cap those small LPARs but you must use a soft cap on the 'most loved LPAR' also. Otherwise that will drive the box to 100% (if there is workload that wants that capacity). The max 4HRA for invoicing is simultaneous across the LPARs within any hour. The limit of this number is the sum of the defined capacities.

Light Weight Printing from Development z/OS 1.8 to HP Laser Jets
Hi all and Happy New Year. I'd like to setup a facility whereby I can print directly from JES2 to an HP Laser Jet type printer without dedicating a printer, buying a printer, or spending time I don't have in INFOPRINT jail. What do you do for z/OS printing in a development context? The requirement is to be able to print small listings locally and conveniently. The difference between today, where we FTP the listing to a PC and print, and tomorrow, is that I want the carriage control characters to be honored. I define small as less than 5000 lines per report and maybe 5 reports per day. I've spent several lovely hours cruising the INFOPRINT website and getting reacquainted with PSF, AFP, and their cousins. Most of this technology qualifies as gross overkill for my needs. I did not see anything directly on point that could be considered lightweight. Is there an easy way to tell Jes2 about a TCPIP connected printer and to have the printer respond to basic CC commands? No fancy forms or checks to be printed, just short reports. Thanks for your ideas, comments, and grand one liners.

Re: Light Weight Printing from Development z/OS 1.8 to HP Laser Jets
it's supposed to have scalability problems. Good, I'm glad to know that was a feature :-) Actually, for jobs of reasonable size, say under 25-50 pages and infrequent enough that the printer could rest a few minutes every few jobs, we didn't have any scalability issues. It uses lpr/lpq and from what I remember, that protocol can just go to sleep for a few minutes on a printer. If your arrival rate is too high when that occurs, you can't catch up. 90% of our problems were the same old printer issues, unpluged, off, out of paper, gone, firewalled, it never ends and it doesn't matter what software is driving them.

SHARE Session 8194: z390 and zcobol Portable Mainframe COBOL Compiler written in structured macro assembler
Here is something new and something old for 2009. Come to SHARE session 8194 in Austin TX on March 3, 2009 at 8 AM for the first live demonstration of zcobol portable mainframe COBOL compiler which is written in z390 structured conditional macro assembler. zcobol supports multiple dialects of mainframe COBOL with the option to generate source and executable program code in any one of the following target languages: 1. HLASM compatible mainframe assembler for z390/z9/z10 2. Java for any J2SE platform 3. C++ for Windows platforms 4. HLA/MASM assembler for Intel platforms The intermediate source code generated by the zcobol compiler includes all data labels and paragraph labels for use in debugging when required. The initial release of zcobol is focused primarily on generating HLASM compatible assembler source and executable programs. The first release includes support for static and dynamic linking of both COBOL and assembler programs, EXEC CICS, and extensions for SOA messaging support to run called programs on remote servers. There are demo programs which can be compiled and executed in all 4 target language environments. And there are a rapidly growing number of regression tests. There is a dynamically loaded zcobol runtime module for complex functions and all the source code is included. Starting March 3, 2009, zcobol will be included in z390 releases and can be downloaded via www.z390.org. For more information on zcobol, visit www.zcobol.org and join the user discussion group: zcobol-subscr...@yahoogroups.com zcobol is an open source project on sourceforge.net and volunteer developers interested in expanding zcobol support include code generation, code optimization, regression testing, documentation, demos, training materials, etc. are all welcome. Melvyn Maltz and I will be at SHARE for the presentation and demo and look forward to seeing you there.

Re: Light Weight Printing from Development z/OS 1.8 to HP Laser Jets
Ed, Since you say you have TCPIP already, you might try something like this for a light weight solution: LPRSET techp...@9.17.108.37 lpr 'SERVE2.BOLAN.P71900.H2.TEMP2.PDF' ( binary Where LPRSET defines the printer IP address to TCPIP for you and the lpr command passes the data to the printer. The above works for me with a printer that can process PDF directly.Check the help for the TCPIP LPR command for options. It does have an option for handling carriage control.
