ERRNO of x'0E' indicates that something is wrong with with the parameter
list or one of the arguments.
I would advise that you double-check each argument and verify its contents
and length (eg the APITYPE must be a halfword equal to 2 or 3).
Also, if you are planning to call EZASMI by multiple subtasks, then I
suggest that you also code the SUBTASK= argument on the INITAPI with a
unique name for each.
Is there a good reason to hold the TIE for the subtask in the mother working
storage? What is wrong with having it in the working storage for the
subtask?

Joe,
Can you tell us more about the failure :
(1) Did it abend? If so - with what code and where
(2) Did it just not POST the ECB?
A few things to check :
(1) Where is "MY_PARM"? - is this in working storage?
(2) How was "MY_PARM" defined?
(3) What was specified on the INITAPI ?
One last "gotcha" with EZASMI is that the "ECB=" keyword must point to a
104-byte field and NOT a 4-byte field.
I know that sounds crazy - but EZASMI uses the last 100 bytes as a
"workarea".
(Why this "workarea" was not a separate keyword I just don't know)

How to recatalog to a different master catalog?
We're migrating from v1r8 to v1r10 and typically don't migrate the master catalog. Rather we migrate the user cats but recreate the master cat. The master catalog name contains the release, SYS1.MCAT108 or SYS1.MCAT110. The SMSVSAM SHCDS datasets were cataloged with the 1.08 master cat and I want them cataloged on the new 1.10 master cat. However, it's being difficult. SMSVSAM knows where the CDSs live but they're not cataloged so it can't use them. At that point, SMSVSAM abends and so I can't define new CDSs.

Re: Question concerning Master Catalog Compare
Hi Dave, T-REX by Dino Software has the ability to compare and synchronize two separate catalogs (usercatalog or master catalog). Simulate, record type, update type (add, delete, merge and replace), and other selection/update criteria can be specified. A logical comparison is performed between matching records rather than a physical comparison (i.e. multiple aliases relating to the same usercatalog or nonvsam entry can reside at different offsets in the physical record without incurring a mismatch ((as long as all the aliases are there relating to the correct component)). Typically when you are building a new master catalog, you clone the current one. There can be any number of days, weeks, or months before migrating to the new system (new master catalog). You must remember to apply all updates (new aliases, VSAM, nonVSAM, etc) to the new master catalog as well as the old one until the switch is made. LISTCATs are usually run just before the switch and the two catalogs are visually compared. The COMPARE and SYNCH commands allow you to logically compare two catalogs and optionally synchronize the contents of the target BCS.

Platform Comparison

ISO8859-1 has NEL (NExt Line) at code point 0x85 (to the extent that ISO8859-1 specifies control characters at all). CMS pipelines XLATE stage translates: CP 1047 CP 819 NL<-->NEL LF<-->LF z/OS OEMVS311 and iconv(1) translate: CP 1047 CP 819 NL<-->LF LF<-->NEL We discussed this a while ago, at which time you said you believed that CMS, in this case, DTRT. The current z/OS behavior is practical for historical reasons, but formally incorrect. It could be remedied by defining a new code page, say IBM-1047-2, with LF at 0x15 and NEL at 0x25, preserving the behavior for compatibility reasons while deprecating future use in z/OS of IBM-1047 in favor of IBM-1047-2. But certain pedantic theologians are revolted by this suggestion, insisting that the code points of EBCDIC control characters are somehow sacred and not subject to change. Perhaps IBM-1047-2 would no longer have an NL code that performs the historic functiom on 3215 Selectric Typewriter consoles. I'm not much impressed by the argument. -- gil -- 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: Alert: APAR OA32369 affecting OSA Fenet 3174-81R & 3174-23R
Joel Unfortunately I am not able actually to see what is said in APAR OA32369. I am however able to see what OA30776 says and it would be very difficult to see any sort of a connection (sic)between APAR OA30776 and what you describe that has become APAR OA32369. If you would like some try at analysing what OA32369 is saying, perhaps you could post the contents. It may also be handy if you could find the VTAM - and/or hardware - error messages which appeared at the time of the failed attempt to activate the 3174 controllers. I expect that the errors would concern the SNA adjacent link station entity as identified by the name of the PU statement. Another possibility is that the resources associated with the XCA definition failed in some way. These are all problems which would prevent activation of LUs at a much earlier stage in the activation of SNA resources. Chris Mason On Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:33:46 -0500, Joel C.

ERRNO of x'0E' indicates that something is wrong with with the parameter
list or one of the arguments.
I would advise that you double-check each argument and verify its contents
and length (eg the APITYPE must be a halfword equal to 2 or 3).
Also, if you are planning to call EZASMI by multiple subtasks, then I
suggest that you also code the SUBTASK= argument on the INITAPI with a
unique name for each.
Is there a good reason to hold the TIE for the subtask in the mother working
storage? What is wrong with having it in the working storage for the
subtask?

Joe,
Can you tell us more about the failure :
(1) Did it abend? If so - with what code and where
(2) Did it just not POST the ECB?
A few things to check :
(1) Where is "MY_PARM"? - is this in working storage?
(2) How was "MY_PARM" defined?
(3) What was specified on the INITAPI ?
One last "gotcha" with EZASMI is that the "ECB=" keyword must point to a
104-byte field and NOT a 4-byte field.
I know that sounds crazy - but EZASMI uses the last 100 bytes as a
"workarea".
(Why this "workarea" was not a separate keyword I just don't know)

Hi,
The following code works (ECB is posted by TCP/IP) except when I catalouge
the program RENT=(REUS)
Would anybody have any ideas

Re: Re-entrancy problem
ERRNO of x'0E' indicates that something is wrong with with the parameter list
or one of the arguments.
I would advise that you double-check each argument and verify its contents and
length (eg the APITYPE must be a halfword equal to 2 or 3).
Also, if you are planning to call EZASMI by multiple subtasks, then I suggest
that you also code the SUBTASK= argument on the INITAPI with a unique name for
each.
Is there a good reason to hold the TIE for the subtask in the mother working
storage? What is wrong with having it in the working storage for the subtask?

Re: Notify a user if a job ends with non zero RC
There are several programs that will do most of what what you want on the CBT tape. We have one that we give away with our system automation products called SyzEMAIL, that will send either an email or TSO notify message (or both) with all of the jobs condition codes, or just individual steps. You can provide any ID's you want notified (either with EMAIL or SEND or both), separately, or you can default to sending only to the person who submitted the job.

Re: Flashcopy
To get around this problem a few years ago I wrote a offline volume dump program that is just as fast as the ones from IBM and Innovation. They have better restore capabilities since I currently have to restore the whole volume, but it's only a matter of time, I'll get it done.
