We are z/os 1.9 and have some research that suggests that our JES does not 
support large volumes (Mod 27's). Other than just trying, is there any way to 
tell if we have the large volume support or not?

Thanks

Re: MSU question z800 vs. z9BC

Due to the so-called 'Technology Dividend', 100 z800 MSU = 90 z890

100/81 = 1.234567 (amazing number!)

So, expect your MSU-based software charges to go up by just over 23% 
if you go back to the z800.


Bad assumption! You assumed that function cost=f(MSU) is linear. It's 
not. Usually it's sublinear with positive value for f(0). (Forgive me 
my math English).
So, 23% MSU more could mean 10% fees more. And only for MSU-based 
software - mostly IBM. Many companies do charge for MIPS or just 
machine model (again MIPS, just to avoid technology dividend and 
other possible tricks).


True. For most IBM software, the marginal per-MSU price gets a little 
lower for each additional MSU you add.


My point was simply that an existing z9BC workload will require 23% more 
MSU wen transferred to a similarly-configured z800.

NVAS error explanation

Hi, All,

I seem to be the only one in the building to get this error every
time, for every application, through Netview Access Services (NVAS):

EMS1166E Relay mode logon request failed for application .

 

   Explanation:  A request for a relay mode session with the

   specified application failed due to network constraints.


We have no network constraints that anybody in the building can
identify.  Can anybody here provide a more sensible explanation, and/or
pointers where to look and for what?

TIA,

LARGEDS is related to LARGE PS datasets and 64k tracks limitation. There 
is no limitation for volume size, so it can be even full (so called) 
mod-54.


It cannot be EAV cylinder area (area above mod-54) since no current 
system supports non-VSAM files in that area.

Re: complexity

2009-07-15 Thread Roach, Dennis (N-GHG)

One very big reason for runtime binding is licensing. If an application
includes subroutines from another vendor and they are hard linked, users
of the software may be required to purchase the subroutine package. It
gets even more complicated when open source software is used. The GNU
GPL makes the new product a derivative product, covered by the same
license and requiring it to become open source (if it is distributed
outside the developing company).

Subject: Re: complexity

I have propagated this thread name, but it is a dubious one:
computational complexity is the standard name for an important
computer-science topic that has nothing much to do with the content of
this thread.
 
Still, what Chris Craddock had to say about what I shall call binding
times was of great interest.
 
Decisions about the resolution of from where and/or when an external
entry is to be invoked or a table is to be loaded may be taken at
different times. These actions may, that is, be bound
 
o at programming time,
 
o at compile time,
 
o at linkage time, or, finally,
 
o at execution time.
 
In PL/I, but not in C or its sequelae, one can use generic function
references like
 
x = sqrt(y) ;
 
delegating to a compiler the responsibility to choose an appropriate
entry, one consonant with the data types of x and y.  However this is
managed, execution-time binding of a sqrt routine is something to be
avoided. 
 
Or again, one can write a division-method hashing routine that always
uses the divisor/modulus m=29 (a convenient small prime), or instead one
can make m an execution-time formal parameter of the hashing routine.
(The option of making the decision which of a set of hashing routines,
one each for m=2,3,5,7,11,13,..., an execution-time one is
unattractive.)   
 
In recent years late binding times have come to be more and more heavily
used.  Sometimes this is appropriate because the maintenance/replacement
cycles of invoker and invoked are very different.  A CICS application
that uses DB2 may not, for example, wish to commit itself at linkage
time to the use of a particular version and modification level of DB2;
and the dynamic invocation of a DB2 interface routine by alias provides
one mechanism for avoiding the need to do so.
 
Interestingly, however, the original IBM OS/360 linkage editor accepted
load mules it had created on one occasion as inputs for modification on
another; and the z/OS binder still does so.  For reasons that I have
never understood--There is no neurosurgery involved--these facilities
have been used only by coloro che sanno.  They are perceived to be too
difficult for mandolinisti to master, and heroic measures are taken to
avoid their use.  Thus, while incompetence is not the only rationale for
the use of DLLs and the like, it is the chief one. 

 

There are legitimate uses of late binding times, but two things about
them must be understood:
 
o deferring binding times incurs additional overheads and it incurs them
repeatedly, and
 
o doing so gives scope for more errors, not, in my experience, fewer of
them.
 
Generic preferences for early or late binding times are thus always
unhelpful.
 
These things said, Chris Craddock's projection of what the future holds
is prescient, all but certainly correct.
 
I wish I were as sanguine as he is about the consequences.  Most
homegrown systems are ugly, badly designed and badly implemented; and,
while some acquired systems are radically better, many are not.

 

Poor programming, inferior system design, and the like are things that
we have tacitly agreed not to talk much about; instead we embrace, more
or less briefly, and then discard a succession of shibboleths, each,
like its predecessor, touted as a simple global remedy for all of our
problems.  There is little to be done about this; but we should all be
familiar with Forster's story, 'The day the machine stopped'.

 Thanks, I've successfully managed to install UNZIP (cmsmvs version)
 made all the changes according to the provided diff file using gmake.

 However, cannot test this as I don't seem to have the correct UNZIP
 JCL syntax.

It's not the JCL - I can't say whether your JCL will work, but 
there's something that's still not quite right in the code for the MVS 
(cmsmvs) build of unzip. 

You can get this same error ( End-of-central-directory signature 
not found) running the MVS version from the Unix command line; but the 
Unix build works just fine.

I'll let you know as soon I have time to figure out what the latest 
problem is. I'm really sorry this is taking so long. Thanks for your 
input.


 Does anyone perhaps have a working UNZIP JCL or even one that writes
 to OUTDD to allocate with correct DSORG=PS, LRECL, RECFM, etc.


I've never tried running unzip with MVS JCL (till today), and I 
haven't looked into the code too carefully. So I don't really know how 
it handles output file allocation under MVS - or whether unzip 6.0 is 
compatible yet with the dots code in the zip 3.1b beta.


Cheers,
Bob

Hi, All,

I seem to be the only one in the building to get this error every
time, for every application, through Netview Access Services (NVAS):

EMS1166E Relay mode logon request failed for application .

 

   Explanation:  A request for a relay mode session with the

   specified application failed due to network constraints.


We have no network constraints that anybody in the building can
identify.  Can anybody here provide a more sensible explanation, and/or
pointers where to look and for what?

TIA,

No.  We just added a full volume spool dataset on a 3390-27 (30,036

configuration dialog to forward our checkpoints to larger data sets, but
the rest was just modifying the current definitions.

Would someone point me to or list the steps that have to be done either on

I do remember, vaguely, one of the IBM'er here saying that the z/OS dispatcher 
dispatches the work on a CP, zIIP, or zAAP. But, of course, he did not go into 
how the dispatcher determined what dispatchable unit of work as eligible for 
which type of engine. So flipping a bit sounds likely. Perhaps in the TCB 
and/or SRB. I admit to being curious about it. But, being somewhat weird, I 
think that this cheating even it is legal.

Mainframe computer stolen from local TVCC campus

By PAUL STONE
The Palestine Herald

PALESTINE — A “mainframe computer” containing confidential student information 
was stolen over the weekend from the Palestine campus of Trinity Valley 
Community College, according to local authorities.

Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor told the Herald-Press Monday that the 
computer was stolen from an office inside the Anderson Building at the rear of 
the campus which is located on Texas 19, north of the Palestine city limits. 
The building houses the college’s EMT, cosmotology and nursing classes, he 
added.

The sheriff said the break-in apparently occurred sometime between 10 a.m. 
Friday and 8 a.m. Monday when it was discovered by a school employee.

Taylor said the computer included student and class information, including 
grades.

“Unfortunately, there’s personal information on there,” the sheriff said.

Also reported stolen from a separate office in the same building was $30 cash 
and a $200 check, according to Taylor.

Additionally, a glass container filled with urine was discovered in the office 
where the money was stolen, according to the sheriff.

The suspect(s) gained entry into the Anderson Building by prying open a back 
door, according to Taylor.

“There was some evidence removed at the scene,” Taylor said. “We don’t have any 
named suspects at this time.”

Estimated amount of damage was unknown as of mid-afternoon Monday.

“Of course, they cut a lot of wires (to take the mainframe computer),” the 
sheriff said. “There will be a lot of damage.”

Help Required : HSM Auto Backups getting HELD everyday

2009-07-15 Thread ROHIT

Hi Everyone,

We have this issue going on customer for few weeks, AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
starts everyday at 1700 HRS and its getting HELD by OPS/MVS by issuing
this  message in the LOG :

09146 17:00:04.21  0280  OPS/MVS HOLD DFHSMAV1 at 17:00:00
***

When I checked with automation team they showed me this rule defined in
their library .


/**

 *
 **
 */
 address OPER
 F DFHSMAV1,HOLD RECYCLE
 F DFHSMAV1,HOLD AUDIT

   ADDRESS WTO ,/* ISSUE WTL MESSAGE */
TEXTVAR(WTX.) OPTION(C) MSGID(''),
 MCSFLAGS(HRDCPY) /* FORCE HARDCOPY*/

 /* S DKEEPLST*/
)END
**

I am not sure why BACKUPs are getting HELD up because as per this rule
RECYCLE and AUDIT should be HELD .

Usually I  end up releasing BACKUPS manually and if we miss this then as
everyone knows nothing is migrated later in the daily by primary space
management and we end up having space issues .

Will appreciate your valuable input  on this in tackling this.

information officer.

Jennifer Hannigan told TylerPaper.com the computer stolen was used only for
our computer surveillance system, adding that it contained no student or

break-in happened over the weekend, with a back door pried open.

Activate new IODF
The activation of the new IODF will delete any alias devices and define

The new base devices can be added and will become available once this is

No information stolen during weekend theft

Monday, July 13, 2009 /

We here at Trinity Valley Community College are saddened and angered by
the events of this weekend's break-in at TVCC-Palestine.

Information reported by area media outlets regarding this incident is in
error. We want to assure our students that absolutely no student,
personnel or other confidential information was contained on the
computer stolen during the weekend theft. The terminal which was taken
was wired only to the security surveillance system and was used
specifically for surveillance video. TVCC takes all possible precautions
to maintain the security and confidentiality of personal data.

In the aftermath of this event, we are dedicated to recovering the
stolen property. The college is working diligently with the Anderson
County Sheriff's Office to apprehend those who are responsible for this
incident. We are asking anyone who may have information on the theft to
please contact the sheriff's department.

Students should watch our website at www.tvcc.edu for more information
as it develops.

  No real details on how it works, just that its proprietary.

  Rather guarded answer as to what IBM thinks of this.

  Sounds like they just found a way to 'flip the bit' that says the
work
  is zIIP/zAAP eligible.

  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

 I do remember, vaguely, one of the IBM'er here saying that the z/OS
dispatcher dispatches the work on
 a CP, zIIP, or zAAP. But, of course, he did not go into how the
dispatcher determined what
 dispatchable unit of work as eligible for which type of engine. So
flipping a bit sounds likely.
 Perhaps in the TCB and/or SRB. I admit to being curious about it. But,
being somewhat weird, I think
 that this cheating even it is legal.

I superficially recall from the zIIP Announcement that it would run
Enclave SRBs.  Figure out how to write an Enclave SRB and it might
get dispatched on a zIIP, if you have one and it's available.

Interesting article on issues migrating off the mainframe

2009-07-15 Thread Ed Gould

MOVING APPS OFF MAINFRAME MAY HAVE UNINTENDED RESULTS
http://go.techtarget.com/r/8698904/6570353
Robert Crawford, Contributor


Migrating applications off the mainframe may seem like a good idea,
with CPU consumption and cost savings benefits. But if the
application's data model isn't fully understood, these migrations can
become costly and may require your organization to invest in
additional computing resources.


In this column, mainframe expert Robert Crawford uses a hypothetical
capacity planning meeting to demonstrate the unintended negative
consequences that can come from migrating apps off the mainframe.

DB2 precompiler (DSNHPC) ignores ifdefs

2009-07-15 Thread Henrique Seganfredo

Hello folks,

I noticed that the DB2 precompiler does not deal with ifdefs, not respecting 
parts of code which are not intended to run when I push by example a 
PARM='DEF(DEBUG)' in my C compiler options.

I tried to use the DEF() parm for DSNHPC, but it does not recognize it as an 
precompiler option.

Is there any option to force the precompiler to take ifdefs in consideration?

 But zPrime will allow work to run on a zIIP or zAAP, whichever you have
or whichever is least utilized.  So a given task could be dispatched on
a zIIP the first time then a zAAP the next and a GP if WLM thinks that's
all that is available.

code page help

What code page should we use?
(What a question!)

We use codepage 037.  I observe that OMVS apparently uses code page
1047.  I say this because if I use code page 037 and go in to OMVS and
type java I see on my screen:

Usage: java Ý-options¨ class Ýargs...¨

If I switch to code page 1047 I then see the expected:

Usage: java [-options] class [args...]

Is there any way to get OMVS to show the brackets correctly if I am
using code page 037?

And what about C source code?  (And Java for that matter.)  We are not
a C shop, but I can imagine that some day we might try a little Java. 
How do I use ISPF to edit Java source code and have the brackets turn
out in a way that Java can recognise it?  And is there any way to
convert C source code examples to code page 037?  For example,
CEE.SCEESAMP(EDCCICS) has the following line:
 extern COBOL void CUCICS(unsigned short *len, char (*
running)[80]);

It looks fine if I have my terminal set to code page 1047, but not code
page 037.

Did we do something wrong when we installed z/OS?  What's up?

Thanks,
Frank

You can change the codepage of your terminal emulator.

Also, I always issue omvs this way:

 == omvs convert((bpxfx437)) esc('^') lines(3000)

The convert gives me a useful codepage conversion (note the double
set of parentheses), the esc gives me a useful escape character,
and the lines gives me a larger terminal buffer so I can hold more
history.

I use Vista TN3270 and set it at US C-Programming, which is 1047 (at least
I think it is).

Another options is to forget TSO OMVS and use telnet directly into OMVS
using your client of choice (the win-doze client is poor).   When I do any

I doubt it. But I'm curious. Why do you need the precompiler to ignore the 
things aren't going to be compiled anyway? Of course you could emulate this 
with a 3 stage method. First, run the C compiler with the PPONLY option to run 
the C precompiler, which would output the C code with all the #include and 
other #... functionality done with the output going to a temporary file. Then 
run the DB2 precompiler against that output as its input, writing to another 
temp file. Then run the C compiler again against the DB2 precomiler output 
file. Seems a bit unusual, to me.

Have you tried the DB2 coprocessor? As I understand it, it is dynamically 
invoked from the C compiler when it sees an EXEC SQL statement. So the C 
compiler will process the #ifdef's.

Re: z/OS Mainframe - SFTP - Disable Publickey Authentication and only use Password?

2009-07-15 Thread Bill Godfrey

The sftp command, by design, does not allow a password to be specified 
anywhere except from an interactive prompt. You will probably have to use 
authentication keys instead. There are many places on the web that discuss 
how to set up the keys. One example is here:

http://www.sshkeychain.org/mirrors/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/

but I haven't read that one thoroughly, so I don't guarantee its accuracy. 
Look around, or ask someone you work with who may have done it.

Jennifer Hannigan told TylerPaper.com the computer stolen was used only for

 Mainframe computer stolen from local TVCC campus

 By PAUL STONE
 The Palestine Herald

 PALESTINE - A mainframe computer containing confidential student
 information was stolen over the weekend from the Palestine campus of Trinity
 Valley Community College, according to local authorities.

 Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor told the Herald-Press Monday that the
 computer was stolen from an office inside the Anderson Building at the rear
 of the campus which is located on Texas 19, north of the Palestine city
 limits. The building houses the college's EMT, cosmotology and nursing
 classes, he added.

 The sheriff said the break-in apparently occurred sometime between 10 a.m.
 Friday and 8 a.m. Monday when it was discovered by a school employee.

 Taylor said the computer included student and class information, including
 grades.

 Unfortunately, there's personal information on there, the sheriff said.

 Also reported stolen from a separate office in the same building was $30
 cash and a $200 check, according to Taylor.

 Additionally, a glass container filled with urine was discovered in the
 office where the money was stolen, according to the sheriff.

 The suspect(s) gained entry into the Anderson Building by prying open a
 back door, according to Taylor.

 There was some evidence removed at the scene, Taylor said. We don't have
 any named suspects at this time.

 Estimated amount of damage was unknown as of mid-afternoon Monday.

 Of course, they cut a lot of wires (to take the mainframe computer), the
 sheriff said. There will be a lot of damage.

Below are the Execution JCL, Configuration file and Job Output.

Whoever wrote the JCL seems to think that the batchfile indicated by the

puzzled by 
your statement that the external site doesn't require any authentication. 
Maybe someone at the external site can tell you what that means.

FIXCDS usage

2009-07-15 Thread Silvio Camplani

Hello,

I am trying to cleanup the error messages in an HSM log and I would like
to get feedback on my proposed solution.

ARC0734I ACTION=SCRATCH FRVOL=AA TOVOL=** TRACKS= 0 RC= 
14, REASON=0, AGE= 618,
 DSN=$XX.XX..X.G0172V00 

Volume AA is no longer in use and the DSN is an old GDG that has
been rolled off.

The manual says:

Migration cleanup was trying to scratch an old migration copy from an
SDSP data set but the ML1 volume was not
 mounted, so the scratch was not issued. If you want the copy deleted,
 have the migration volume mounted the next time 
 migration cleanup is run.  

Since I can no longer mount that volume I would like to issue the
follwoing command:

FIXCDS D '$XX.XX..X.G0172V00'  delete 

Since I have a lot of entries to 'fix', I would like to confirm that
this is a safe approach.

Thanks,

Silvio

Re: NVAS error explanation

2009-07-15 Thread Chris Mason

John

I'm not familiar with NVAS but this messages looks like the sort that is 
presented to a feeble end user who could not cope with complicated technical 
explanations and so the ridiculous words network constraints are used which 
could means anything.

Looking at the NVAS Messages manual I see some which contain VTAM nitty-
gritty such as RPLREQ = Xcc, RTNCD = Xrr, FDBK2 = Xff, SENSE = X, 
LU = ll, CID = Xidididid., that is, stuff with which I can work. 
That 
suggests that there may be more useful messages in an NVAS log. You should 
check such a log for the time you had your problem, perhaps using the name 
of the secondary APPL statement you were using. I hope the relevant name is 
presented somewhere on your NVAS panel.

In addition to that there may well be VTAM messages describing something 
having gone wrong on the console also at the time you had your problem - 
more handy nitty-gritty than the stupid network constraints.

Lastly, what you should be using to resolve this sort of problem is NetView 
Session Monitor, aka NLDM. Unfortunately, every time I suggest checking 
NetView Session Monitor, I'm told it has not been enabled even if the 
installation has installed NetView - the real NetView, not these label-
engineered hangers-on!

If by some miracle you have NLDM available, you should look for your session 
setup attempt there with someone who understands VTAM and SNA. If there 
are any SNA flows associated with the problem they will be laid out for you 
there - possibly after having authorised some levels of session awareness and 
tracing.

Please report back on anticipated progress.

Re: NVAS error explanation

2009-07-15 Thread Greg

Not sure if any of this is it but I would check the settings in NVAS option 6 
if 
you use a different group than everyone else:
 6  -  Assign an Application to a Group 
With this you can assign any VTAM appl name to a NVAS application, even if it 
is an invalid application name.

Or option 
3  -  Assign a User to a Group
It looks like you could assign an invalid terminal name to an application in 
this 
option.

I am not a VTAM guy and I wouldn't think this would cause that message but 
do you use a different terminal geometry than everyone else, if so change to 
a standard mod2 (or mod5, something common) just to see if that fixes it.

I know it's not much but it's all I got.

Good luck,
Greg

 And what about C source code?  (And Java for that matter.)  We are not

 How do I use ISPF to edit Java source code and have the brackets turn
 out in a way that Java can recognise it?  And is there any way to
 convert C source code examples to code page 037?  For example,
 CEE.SCEESAMP(EDCCICS) has the following line:
  extern COBOL void CUCICS(unsigned short *len, char (*
 running)[80]);

 It looks fine if I have my terminal set to code page 1047, 
 but not code
 page 037.

 I don't know of any way around this either.

Bzzt!  Wrong answer!  :-)  (Not meaning there is an answer; just that I want 
one!)

 Did we do something wrong when we installed z/OS?  What's up?

 Welcome to another PITA between z/OS UNIX  C language usage (1047) and z/OS 
 legacy usage (037). You have not done anything wrong. I stay in 1047 and put 
 up the the poor display on legacy because I don't need the special characters 
 for my legacy work.

Oy.  We don't have much, but I know of a few cases where we have a code page 
037 logical not which shows up as a caret in code page 1047 and code page 037 
left and right brackets which show up as, well, brackets.

Oh well.  Thanks for letting me know that at least I'm not crazy.

I am quite curious as to how our GL system conversion will come out.  
Interestingly, our developer who was primary on our mainframe GL system for the 
last few years has transfered to the packaged applications team and will 
implement the packaged GL application (Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise General 
Ledger).  She's taking many, many classes, and already she's opined that there 
will be boatloads of customization.  (Not sure if opined is the correct word,

 *are* the core of their business. What they can and typically do [try
 to] outsource is precisely the things that benefit least from
 leveraging work across multiple customers, i.e. operations and
 helpdesk.
 
 I can testify that we are one bank that has written all of our core
 banking applications.  Not to mention our Internet banking site.
 
 We actually have our own homegrown Human Resources and General Ledger
 systems, but are in the process of migrating those to packaged
 applications since they are in need of updating and not part of our core
 business.
 
 In my opinion both of these are good things.  I can't imagine how our
 business would function if we had packaged core applications.  Our users
 want too many special customizations, and they want them now!  :-)
 
 As for outsourcing totally, we'll have none of that!

I am quite curious as to how our GL system conversion will come out.
Interestingly, our developer who was primary on our mainframe GL system
for the last few years has transfered to the packaged applications
team and will implement the packaged GL application (Oracle PeopleSoft
Enterprise General Ledger).  She's taking many, many classes, and
already she's opined that there will be boatloads of customization.
(Not sure if opined is the correct word, but I've always wanted to use
it in a sentence!)

was not very impressed. Performance was poor and the code that I had a

Re: z/OS Mainframe - SFTP - Disable Publickey Authentication and only use Password?

2009-07-15 Thread Kirk Wolf

ssh (used by sftp) won't work unless *host* keys are exchanged when
the session is setup.  The client has a little database of known host
keys and will fail if the server has a different key.  A configuration
option allows the OpenSSH client to accept a new host key
automatically, otherwise a interactive user is required to acknowledge
acceptance.

User authentication can be done in a number of ways, including keys
and password.  The password is *never* sent in the clear.

Re: FIXCDS usage

2009-07-15 Thread Chris Edwards

Silvio,

One thing to be careful of is that for every D type record in the CDS
there is also an A type. Just deleting the D types would leave
'orphaned' A types.
Of course, you can establish the name of the A types as it is a field
within the D type, but this can be a lot of mucking around.

Casting my mind back a few (OK, a lot) years, I think we used to flip a
bit in the D type record to say that the dataset was no longer required
when we found uncatalogged datasets within the MCDS.  IIRC it is in byte
6 somewhere (my REXX was called HSMFIX6!)

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,
Chris

Hello,

I am trying to cleanup the error messages in an HSM log and I would like

Volume AA is no longer in use and the DSN is an old GDG that has
been rolled off.

The manual says:

Migration cleanup was trying to scratch an old migration copy from an
SDSP data set but the ML1 volume was not
 mounted, so the scratch was not issued. If you want the copy deleted,
 have the migration volume mounted the next time 
 migration cleanup is run.  

Since I can no longer mount that volume I would like to issue the
follwoing command:

FIXCDS D '$XX.XX..X.G0172V00'  delete 

Since I have a lot of entries to 'fix', I would like to confirm that
this is a safe approach.

Thanks,

 Not sure if any of this is it but I would check the settings in NVAS
option 6 if
 you use a different group than everyone else:
  6  -  Assign an Application to a Group
 With this you can assign any VTAM appl name to a NVAS application,
even if it
 is an invalid application name.

Our applications are not assigned to any specific Group.

 Or option
 3  -  Assign a User to a Group
 It looks like you could assign an invalid terminal name to an
application in this
 option.

No terminal names are assigned for any of the SYSPROG group members,
including me.

 I am not a VTAM guy and I wouldn't think this would cause that message
but
 do you use a different terminal geometry than everyone else, if so
change to
 a standard mod2 (or mod5, something common) just to see if that fixes
it.
 
 I know it's not much but it's all I got.

Thanks for trying.  I'll try to find a real clue or three using Chris

I use

This worked.  Thanks!
Is there any way to put these in a Unix profile of some 
sort so that you can just type OMVS?  Or is it too late 
to do it by that time, since OMVS will have already been invoked?


Yeah, it's too late for a profile. But you could write
a simple REXX exec to do it.

BPXFX111 is the standard recommended conversion table; it's
the locale for code page 1047; BPXFX437 is the locale for
code page 037. I just found that worked better for me, but
it may be a combination of my emulator code page and my
terminal type.

The reference is the z/OS UNIX command reference under the
OMVS write up in TSO/E commands chapter.
