You find out how stuff works; every bit of knowledge is useful. But in this case, I am not sure what I would learn by knowing the name/tokens. How would I use the information? More interesting to me might be who created what name/tokens (even then, the benefit of knowing it is hazy). Is ownership kept in the control blocks?

Re: A couple of memory/storage questions
I played with something similar many years ago. IIRC, I used ESAR, SSAR and MVCP instructions to pull information from other address spaces. You start out with addresses that are in common, such as ASCB, then work your way down pointer chains. It is mainly useful for system control blocks.

Re: Statistics when writing PDS members

Re: Old 5798-DZW Dynamic STEPLIB Facility
You should be able to do what you want with the TSOLIB command that is part of TSO. It is somewhat awkward to use though (not within ISPF and not from a REXX program), but as I recall, STEPLIB also had some restrictions. My logon exec does my setup then uses QUEUE to run TSOLIB command after the exec finishes.

Re: Passing data within the ISPF Data Set List Filter Exit
I have not used that exit, but believe that you should be able to use VPUT and VGET services. On each call to the exit: 1. VGET variable from SHARED pool, if it does not exist, save initial value. 2. process as necessary 3. if some status changes, VPUT changed variable back to SHARED pool.

Re: if someone remember: low core refrence
> ... alter the low core to get abend at low core reference . Your question was not clear. Hopefully, you want to prevent people from using such a tool, or trying to figure out how it was done. You need to protect the TESTAUTH command that is part of TSO. I do not think you need a special tool. If you have access to APF dataset, you can easily write a program to do it. Your APF datasets should be protected. And if you are a hacker-wannabe, please ignore my advice.

Re: Conversion work
I do not have direct experience... only guessing... I think it is probably easier to find new programmers with C experience than it is to find programmers with assembler experience. Over time, it will get harder and harder. And as with any high level language, you can write programs faster. There is probably a trade-off with performance. but as salaries go up and price of hardware goes down, it might be a good business decision for some. (No need for rebuttle... I know some will disagree.) I doubt if there is a conversion tool, but rather that they figure out what the assembler does and try to do the same in C.

Re: Single RES
Sorry, I did not look at details of the 'standard'. When I built a recovery system many years ago, I also made sure we copied the production RACF dataset to the recovery volume on a regular basis.

Re: Single RES
> freebe wise?? Not sure what you mean. Normally, you have libraries spread out on a few volumes for performance reasons. But on a recovery volume, you just cram everything on one volume and make sure the catalog and procs use the correct libraries. Are you saying your production server does not normally have TCP?
