Re: corrupt zip files
Having just done this, I speak from experience Almost every file transfer product will transfer either text or binary. Most have a feature that will make a choice for you. I used the "make a choice for me" option and wound up scrambling the three files I had transmitted. I changed the format to binary and everything worked as it should. Ken Hume IBM PD Tools Client Advocate (720)396-7776 kph...@us.ibm.com On 5/5/2012 7:54 AM, Paul Edwards wrote: I have a zip file that appears to have been produced using pkzip for z/OS. However, it looks like it has been transmitted using some sort of text protocol, because the high bit has been stripped from most bytes, and some other bytes appear to have been translated. e.g. I think x'0a' in the input file has been mangled to x'b6' on the way. Does anyone know what software would do a translation like that? I believe these characters: 0A 1060 0D 0 12 1044 14 0 15 0 1C 0 1E 0 24 1030 7F 0 are being mapped to these: 81 576 9C 361 A7 645 B6 527 BF 284 E0 249 E9 644 F2 718 Except for x'0d' which I think is just being deleted. This belief comes from counting (see below) occurrences of the various bytes in a largish (80k) file. Here is a small file that shows the problem: 00 504B0304 B6000600 08006455 22405746 PKdU"@WF That x'b6' above should be x'0a' I think (that's more normal).

Brackets? Oh, you mean parentheses: ( )
Brackets are: [ ] (not "square brackets", just "brackets")
Braces are: { } (not "curly braces", just "braces")
Another common use for obscure terms.
When I was in high school English brackets was an acceptable term.
When I took FORTRAN brackets was an acceptable term.
When I took C square brackets and curly (brackets or braces)
were acceptable terms.
My profs used them.
Why, after almost 40 years, why do we have more retroactve
corrections?
Like that other TLA, that shall remain nameless, even though
it was used for almost 15 years before some self-appointed
pedants started taking upon themselves to preach.

Re: An upbeat story
There is a company in GA that does that as well.
The difference is that they hire tech school students after 1 year in
tech school. The "kids" work part time and go to school full time. Once
they graduate with an agreed upon GPA, they become "real" employees.
It's AMAZING how at the longevity they have. It seems that most of their

large transportation company ('B'). Although they are
small, they run z/OS 1.12, use COBOL 4.2, and so on.
* Each Spring for the last two years they go to the local
university career day and talk with students about to
graduate
* Eventually they settle on four to hire
* Then, they make their job offer through a contracting
company ('C') with the understanding if they work out
after a trial period, they will be hired to work
directly by 'A'
* But what's cool is: a) they only interview students
with little or no IS / IT background and b) even
though the students will technically be employees of
'C', 'A' arranges to train them
The training is done by a mix of in-house people,
myself, colleagues, even competitors
The result is a small cadre of new employees entering
each year, sort of 'raised' in the local IT culture.
The new employees are solid and quickly productive, and
they have a long lasting loyalty to the company. The
current employees are, generally, pleased to see the
company expanding the workforce (after all, the new
kids are lower on the totem pole, as it were).
Although the program is new, it seems to be working very
well (I had a chance to talk with some of last year's
new hires as well as a few managers).
So somebody is hiring for z/OS applications developers.
I consider that to be a little good news anyway.

Hi, All,
Recently installed the IBM Application Performance Analyzer ("APA")
v11.1, and today tried installing the Eclipse Plug-in for its GUI
interface to the IBM CICS Explorer. Everything went "slam dunk" until
time to establish a connection and log in.
At that point, two of us tried and failed for "invalid password" (using
our RACF passwords). First thought I had was that perhaps the GUI is
forcing our passwords to all uppercase (we have mixed-case passwords
enabled and required here). However, I cannot find anything anywhere to
indicate whether that might be the problem. There are no configuration
options anywhere that we can find that would seem to affect password
case.
We tried various of the documented Security configuration options for
the APA Listener STC on z/OS (v1.11), but those documented in the APA
Customization Guide do not work at all (the Listener won't even start).
Anybody have any ideas we could try?
TIA,
-jc-
