Re: 'Inexperienced' RBS tech operative's blunder led to banking meltdown
Many thanks for that review. I tend to take the reports on productivity from experts with varying amounts of salt, depending on my experience with the reviewer. Some reviewers are given as much salt as anchovies. My personal desire would be something akin to ISPF available from a z/OS UNIX shell (like from telnet or putty, not TSO). I don't know how ISPF is architected. That is, how dependant it is on TSO and 3270. I'd expect very dependant. But I would love it if it could use a curses or X terminal interface, and maybe the TSO dependant parts would work properly in an IKJTSOEV environment. However, I doubt that IBM will ever do this because they seem to be pushing RDz as the wave of the future. They may be correct in that. I have used the basic Eclipse on Linux/Intel and it is a nice IDE. For Java, I prefer Netbeans. Probably because I learned it before Eclipse existed. And for simple editing, I prefer vim or gvim. But I've also use kate, which is nice for multi-window editing. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

In today's world, it is expected that a worker will just walk in off the street and have the intuitive knowledge of how to use computers. As much as I dislike it personally, z/OS really needs the new look interface to present to the end users, and even programmers. I wonder if anybody has done a study of productivity between old style development using ISPF and edit-compile-test versus using the RD/z Eclipse based software. I can tell you from experience (I use RDz) that other than the actual smart context assisting editors the tooling in RDz is generally poorly implemented and less productive than using the ISPF equivalents. Of course, I'm not talking about all the application web enabling stuff. OTTOMH, FileManager, FaultAnalyzer, ApplicationPerformanceAnalyzer all have plug-ins that are inferior to the 3270 apps. It's a shame because they could have been much better. Open a big dump in RDz from the spool system explorer, wait 15 minutes, Eclipse chokes out an out-of-memory stack trace. The mouse has to go down in history as possibly the worst invention for hindering productivity. When I have to right-click and select from a menu as apposed to tabbing and hitting a key then I generally despise the UI and don't use it. I also gave up on compiling in RDz. It's so much easier just to fire up a shell or run JCL in a separate window. Even easier in Slickedit where I can just use Putty and re-direct the output to my build window.

Procedure to fix problem with virtual tape causing I/O errors
I received a notification that one of my tapes which is in my one-and-only ISMF tape library is generating errors (bus-tech implemented using an MTL with the MDL). I checked the faulty VOLSER using TMS (ca-1) (under TSO/ISPF) and the volume has a dataset already expired and it is in DELETE status. Ran DITTO and it tells me that the volume is scratch. Checked with ISMF (TSO/ISPF) and it tells me the volume is PRIVATE and it has no errors. My thinking is to EJECT the volume from ISMF using the P-purge option.

Q: Try to insert more characters than the field allows? A: Do what a 3270 would do, insert the max possible and then lock the keyboard. Q: Blanks at end of field? A: Either lock or, if emulator (unlike 3270) is set to act as if trailing blanks are nulls when in insert mode, do that. If inserting even more, see previous answer. I.e. insert as much as possible, then lock. On cut, I would think that is a copy (copy to clipboard) followed by a delete. There is no clipboard on a 3270. But there is a delete key. On a 3270, IIRC, when you pressed the delete key in a modifiable field, the rest of the field moved to the left one character. Do so for every character involved in the cut operation area. If you are completely within a non-modifiable field, copy the characters but do not delete the characters on the screen or in the 3270 buffer. If you cut and part is in a non-modifiable field and another part is in a modifiable, copy all the characters in the operation area, but delete only those within the operation area which are in the modifiable field. That is what is my intuition says makes sense. Other may legitimately disagree because we are going beyond what can be done on actual 3270 hardware. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

It is not easy to implement because of the field oriented nature of the 3270 screen. Many emulators support paste in insert mode and must handle the data in the field properly. What if the field is not long enough? Do you push the data to the next field, clip it, or lock the keyboard with an error? What if the field is padded with spaces? Do you treat the spaces as nulls or do the spaces mean something when the modified screen is sent back to the host. If you push the data on paste, do you wrap it to the next field? If you wrap it, on cut do you unwrap it? If you paste in overwrite mode, but the pasted data is not as long as the remaining data do you leave the extra data or automatically erase to the end of the field? Pcomm does some Copy/Paste functions very well, just differently from what a PC does or some other emulators, including the ones I am responsible for developing which handle paste in insert mode.

Re: QUESTION ABOUT REF*
RETAIN keeps the tape mounted and at the end of the file just written. The REFerback to any prior step gets the VOLSER that you are working with. Your job is coded correctly and changing it will not affect processing, as long as it remains on one volume. If a step goes to another volume, the subsequent step mounts the first tape and abends when it does not find the end of the prior file.

I personally code the REF=* to point to the previous step instead of STEP01.

Their suite includes access to the program source so that you wil be assured of accuracy across the board.

I have been in the JCL vendor automation arena for 30 years and am knowledgeable of all the products out there. The RES Suite has no single competitor.

Re: 'Inexperienced' RBS tech operative's blunder led to banking meltdown
Mike said: Banking rules say you have to process the day's deposits before the day's withdrawals. Basically, you post the transaction to a transaction file which is applied to the account after the cutoff time. No. This is a general accounting rule. (And actually, the rule is that transactions should be processed in the order received by an agent of the company/bank.) It is a bank, not a banking rule that you allude to. I have personally experienced many banks (and subsequently moved my holdings to a new bank once I found this out) which apply withdrawls first, apply fines if this causes balance issues, and then apply deposits. I suggest that this is actually the banking rule used by most banks. Worse yet, are the banks which hold deposits for days (most importantly including government checks and direct deposits or banking transfers which should be instantaneous, IMHO) solely so that they can gain interest on held client monies *before* they credit the deposit to their client - despite what effect that has on their client. (I know of several elderly folk who have been burned by very big, national banks who practice this regularly on SSI or Military payments from the government to them.) The entire world wide banking system is corrupt and fully self serving. Look at how Iceland has reacted to this, actions taken and reforms enacted. It's this client cavalier attitude of the banking industry that looks for cheap vs. quality solutions. From the articles cited thusfar, this debacle is a result of that mindset. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

The rules vary from bank to bank and from country to country, and in some cases the type of account. In the USA it used to be possible for rules to vary from state to state, but I have not seen cases of that lately. There are also rules that vary in a similar way concerning the application of fees and the calculation of interest. The classes I have taken on this have caveats on each software option as to where and how it may be used. Reminds me of standing in a waterfall. Institutions subject to these rules, including service providers, have departments called compliance whose job is to make sure rules are followed and that advice given is accurate for the situation.

RCODE: 801C-00 Multiple TELNETPARMS blocks.
Hi - I'm trying to create a secure port in TELNET to test SSL connections while leaving port 23 alone for now. According to z/OS V1R11.0 Communications Server IP Configuration Guide z/OS V1R11.0 SC31-8775-16 Telnet supports up to 255 ports on one server. A unique TELNETPARMS block must be created for each port or qualified port. My telnet parms roughly look like this: TELNETGLOBALS TCPIPJOBNAME TCPIP - - - - - - - ENDTELNETGLOBALS - - - - - - - TelnetParms Port 23 EndTelnetParms TelnetParms Secureport 992 KEYRING SAF SSLRING SSLTIMEOUT 120 EndTelnetParms - - - - - - - BeginVTAM ; Port 23 ; Port 992 - - - - - - - EndVTAM I then get the following error (note that I tried this via IPL as well as OBEYFILE which was getting too confusing) EZZ6035I TELNET TN3270 DEBUG CONFIG EXCEPTION 142 LINE: 49 MOD: EZBTMCVV RCODE: 801C-00 Multiple TELNETPARMS blocks. Last one is used. PARM1: PARM2: TP23 PARM3: The end result is that TN3270 ends up ignoring Port 23 completely, although I can OBEYFILE it back in. Can anyone guide me as to how to code both a PORT and SECUREPORT statements for z/os TELNET?
