Re: Output Writer and TCP/IP
IBM Network Print Facility is still available. Starting with z/OS 1.4 it became part of base z/OS (part of Communications Server) and no longer required a separate order. You can find the z/OS 1.13 documentation for NPF here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/topic/com.ibm.zos.r13.halp001/toc.htm At least as far back as 1997 IBM declared that IP PrintWay would be the strategic replacement for NPF, and NPF was functionally stabilized. IP PrintWay became part of IBM Infoprint Server, an optional, orderable feature of z/OS (and an excellent, actively developed solution with more features). However, I have seen no statement or indication that NPF would be withdrawn. NPF is still supported on supported z/OS releases as far as I know. Among commercial options Infoprint Server is excellent, and some others have been mentioned like those from LRS and MacKinney. To attempt a complete response there are a couple others I know about but have no experience with: Macro 4's Columbus Z and CA Spool. On the printing front, IBM has indicated that it will be including a large selection of fonts in base z/OS starting with Version 2 Release 1 (z/OS 2.1). That may be a relevant enhancement depending on what you're trying to do. Whenever the topic of printing (to paper) comes up, I always mention that it's worth examining whether it makes sense to print or whether a content repository with Web/mobile support -- and user-driven optional/ad hoc printing -- makes more sense for both convenience and overall cost savings. If often does, and you can look at my previous comments about that idea.

PDS Processing in REXX
Hi Graham, Taking your questions in order: 1 - Deleting a data set PARA1: F1 = 'ENCORE.CBL.SOURCE' DELETE 'F1' /* TRYING TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THESE QUOTE'Y THINGS */ RC_REASON = 'DELETE 'F1; CALL RETCODE RETURN This code, using the TSO DELETE command will do the job without the need to. pre-allocate. The double quotes are there to ensure that the REXX interpreter does not attempt to execute the DELETE command. The single quotes are there to inhibit TSO prefix, which if turned on would prefix the data set name in variable F1 with the prefix held in the TSO PROFILE. I notice that in RETCODE it is RC that is tested no RC_REASON. To be safe it would be better to test RC_REASON in RETCODE in case RC has been changed before arrival. 2 - Allocating the data set As Elardus mentioned I would use the built-in Function SYSDSN to check data set status before attempting the allocate. As far as the allocate goes the ultimate disposition of the data set is missing. With only NEW coded the data set will be created, then deleted. To be kept it would be better to add CATALOG. SYSDSN will provide a textual response which will help understand the state of the data set, i.e. it may be allocated but ENQ'd by another task. 3 - Reading the member The issue with file processing is how much data is being processed. One thing for certain is that EXECIO 1 is the most inefficient method as the EXECIO code will be entered for each and every record. If the member is small then think about EXECIO * which will read all the members in one go, which will avoid the need for the loop, and allow the file to be closed at the same time by the addition of FINIS to the EXECIO options; i.e. EXECIO * DISKR INFILE1 (FINIS Note that EXECIO returns RC = 2 at end-of-file. 4 - I/O Processing differences. It could be argued that I/O processing differences between TSO and ooREXX are a strength rather than a weakness. It is this difference which allows REXX to be so portable. That said z/VM REXX provides two I/O processing methods one using EXECIO and the other using stream commands like ooREXX.

2013 VM Workshop - Call for Presentations (SUBMISSIONS CLOSE APRIL 15)
Cross-posted to the IBMVM, Linux-390, and IBM-MAIN discussion lists. The 2013 VM Workshop will be conducted JUNE 20-22 at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis in beautiful downtown Indianapolis, IN. Session are planned from about 9AM Thursday June 20, through about 2PM Saturday, June 22. For more details, see: http://www.vmworkshop.org/2013 Session presentation ideas (even if the session materials have not yet been completed) can be submitted at: http://www.vmworkshop.org/node/246 The Session Submission deadline is APRIL 15. Don't dawdle! :-) Volunteers need time to sort through the submissions and fit those that apply into the limited 2.5 days of session slots. Some of the sessions being planned, or already submitted for consideration, include: * A live, online zVM Installation lab (seats limited to about 18) * A live, online Linux on System z Installation lab (seats limited to about 18) * IBM zEnterprise Technology Update * Intellinx - A Real-time Auditing, Monitoring and Fraud Detection Solution for System z and others * zIFL Consolidation Sizing Process * The z/VM Platform: Fit-for-Purpose - Proven for Linux * Linux Storage Measurement * Real examples of z/VM and Linux Guest Monitoring and Automation * Automating Oracle on System z * Mz - a new open source systems management package * Rexx Intro and Scripting (basics) * Strike up the Band - How to Make Great Events Happen with the z/VM Intra Network Data Ensemble * Sharing the Love of z/VM 620 Clustering Solutions * Options for Backing Up and Restoring z/VM and Linux Guests * Stump the Olde-timers - an informal QA between Olde-timers and z/VM and LInux on System z newcomers * Open panel discussions on specific subjects of interest determined before or during the workshop Many of the sessions listed above are 'vendor' sessions. Those should be terrific. Yet, the description of the original VM Workshop includes at http://www2.marist.edu/~workshop/ The VM Workshop is an annual event which is essentially an immersion program for systems programmers. It is 3.5 days of intensive discussion and presentations about the VM operating system and related subjects. The Workshop began in 1977 as an alternative to the more formal (and expensive) conferences such as SHARE and Guide. Over the years, it has remained a completely grass-roots effort, with its organization being handled by volunteers from various colleges, universities and corporations. Its emphasis is on participation and the exchanging of ideas and information. After a long respite, a grass-roots effort in 2011 revived the VM Workshop as a 2.5 day conference for the modern era, including Linux on System z as a key topic. Those past VM systems programmers freely shared their personal experiences with the VM system: tools they had written, solutions that they had discovered, clever ways to do things that everyone has to do, and much more. A key point of the original VM Workshop was Its emphasis is on participation and the exchanging of ideas and information. The z/VM and Linux on System z Community still really needs those personal, non-professional, user-experience volunteer sessions now, too. Please look at the Desired Sessions listed below to decide if you could deliver a personal, non-professional presentation on one of those topics, or another, to a small group of your soon-to-be friends. Some other Desired Sessions we'd like to see presented include: * VMSES/E Introduction (SERVICE, PUT2PROD and beyond - perhaps a lab?) * CMS Admin Boot Camp (e.g. common CP, CMS, and XEDIT commands - perhaps a thread of multiple sessions) * Where Do I Start? (Configuring IBM, and ISV products) * Virtualization Comparison * User Experiences with z/VM and Linux on System z in general, with home-brewed utilities, and ISV products. * User Experiences with commonly installed shareware/freeware utilities for both z/VM and Linux on System z. * 7+ Utilities that make z/VM Administration Easier * Easy z/VM System Automation (for example, using: VMUTIL, PIPESERV, VMSERVE What other session ideas would you like to see presented? Reply here with your ideas about sessions you'd like to hear. With what are you struggling? Your thoughts may inspire additional valuable session topics.

For a batch job the manual says, reasonably enough, that the size of a STORAGE OBTAIN request is limited by the size of its JCL REGION= parameter. I should guess that Paul Gilmartin knew that the answer to his rhetorical question was no when he asked it. Many program objects and load modules are, for example, more than 2^15 bytes in size, and a directed load for one of them would be precluded by such a limitation.

Business Continuance call for presentations
In conjunction with the summer conference (Aug. 11-16), SHARE would like to put on a 1 day symposium on managing business continuance during natural emergencies or disasters. All of us are involved in planning for disasters and other emergencies. All that planning and testing is done with the hopes that it never actually has to be put into action. So, what happens when the real thing occurs? During the past year, the north east part of the US has experienced a super storm, and a blizzard that affected many major corporations as well as small businesses. Other parts of the country have also experienced major weather events as well as earthquakes, etc. The focus of the symposium will be application of disaster and business continuance plans during a real emergency. We are especially looking for experiences from different types of industries, i.e. health, education, financial, etc. It does not have to be limited to mainframe technology. Please pass this message on to anyone in your organization who might be interested in taking part in this symposium. Presentation proposals can be submitted through the normal SHARE CFP process at http://www.share.org/ under either General Submissions or Enterprise Data Center.

Linking to MVS standard linkage function from Rexx
Level set: I know what I am doing in Rexx. I am real familiar with and have written function packages already. I want to write a function that will be callable both from Rexx and from C++. (This may be my first adventure with Metal C, but that's a different topic.) The C++ part is easy; let's talk about the linkage from Rexx. I know I can call from Rexx using standard MVS linkage using ADDRESS LINKMVS or LINKPGM. (We just went over the differences here; let's not digress into that!) But if I am RTFM correctly, LINKMVS/PGM requires a separate load module or alias (or IDENTIFY and I don't think I want to go there for this). For the sake of neater packaging I would like to linkedit the callable function into an existing function package. Relying on separate load modules or PDS aliases complicates life in other ways. I don't *think* I can make a standard MVS linkage function part of a Rexx function package, is that right? LINKMVS/PGM and Rexx functions live in different worlds, right? LINKMVS/PGM always searches for MVS entry points, and only Rexx functions use function packages, is that right? If I want to do this then instead of using LINKMVS/PGM I will have to write a Rexx linkage Rexx function that provides a glue layer between Rexx and the standard MVS linkage function?
