MVS Quick Reference, was: LookAT
I'm just curious whether anybody out there has MVS Quick Reference from Chicago Soft installed. At my former assignment we had it and used it extensively. MVSQR is much more powerful than Lookat and it provides a comfortable UI. Note: I'm not affiliated with that company, just a user.

A few questions. 1) When did you last successfully use this process? 2) Have you downloaded a new version of the CPP functions and libraries? 3) Did you change anything in ISPF that you use to execute this process? 4) Did you see that the CPPE628M talks about the load library?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying that supporting RECFM=F/V/U is a flaw, and that instead all C ports should be using USS? If so, it is only GCCMVS that supports traditional datasets. The other port is here: http://www.cozx.com/~dpitts/gcc.html This site has source and pre-built versions of GCC compiler for the IBM z/OS Unix Systems Services (USS), OpenEdition, environment. The latest compiler was compiled under z/OS USS 1.1. Is that what you're considering to be non-flawed? BFN.

Re: Interested in up to date open source software or low cost utilities?
Hi ZA. This concept of "C is not available in many many shops" is the exact reason I spent a large chunk of my life porting GCC to MVS (gccmvs). I considered the lack of a universal language for computers to be a serious flaw in the computer industry. With the advent of GCCMVS, C is now either bundled, or freely available, on every commercially-used computer environment, as far as I know. Even z/VSE has been covered. With GCC ported, I was able to port other very useful tools such as diff3 (three-way diffs are one of the greatest advances in computer science in my opinion). People can easily have a free MVS environment at home for developing such software. And if for some reason you need a real z/OS instead of MVS 3.8j, that is also available at an affordable price (z/PDT from memory). BFN. Paul. Bob Wrote: >The open source Linux tools generally require porting, which require a >mainframe, which most folks don't have at home, so open source isn't >significant in the mainframe arena. This is the main issue really, getting a descent and legitimate development environment is tough. And then there is another, related subject, most open source is written in C which is NOT available in many many shops. It is a legitimate, fully developed and wonderful compiler in z/OS but it cost money and many shops just don't spend that money. So even if you go through the trouble of porting the open source into Classic z/OS (PDSE's, JCL, at al) as I did when I ported the PCRE library, it's not good enough because many potential users cannot build it anyway. Providing binaries might have been a solution had we not have to deal with the bizarre EBCDIC issue. The issue is not so much that EBCDIC is different then ASCII, that is relatively easy to handle. The issue is that if you provide a binary for IBM-1047 it surely won't work on a IBM-1026 Turkish or Greek or any other language. Bottom line, the port as well as it done is basically unavailable. I am pretty disappointed because I really wanted to start a trend.

Re: COBOL IN SRB Mode (Was Un-authorized caller)
I have to agree with Ed, why would anyone want to run COBOL under an SRB? First of all, I don't see how using an SRB solves anything having to do with program sharing. Secondly, the risks. An SRB gets control in key zero and supervisor state and, unless you wrap the COBOL in an assembler layer to change them to problem state and back to key 8, you are asking for trouble. Thirdly, debugging. Error recovery is more difficult as is debugging. Fourthly, performance. Either you are queuing work to the SRB or you are running it synchronously or semi-synchronously. Fifthly, if they are talking about trying to get COBOL to run on a z/IIP, they better have really, really good lawyers. Finally, you can't do any I/O under an SRB. Well, not any normal COBOL I/O. We could get into the whole STARTIO and MEDIA MANAGER discussion, but let's not. So, given the above, I see no upside to the proposal and a lot of pitfalls.

Since your extent count/total tracks are inconsistent your JCL, maybe you
should dump the DSCB and see what is really going on with your dataset. The
TSO LISTDS command with the LABEL option is one universally available
method.

What is the return code associated with the B37? It should be available
from the accompanying IEC030I message. If it is 4, you may want to move the
dataset to a volume with room for the dataset to grow.
There is room on the volume.
What is specified for the INTVAL parameter in your SMFPRMxx member? That
will determine how frequently you generate type 89 records. Since the
maximum value is 60 (minutes), one has to wonder how in 24 hours you
generated only 8 records.
30 minutes. SMF dump runs more frequently than once a day.
How many times have you run the job? Unless you clean out the MAN1 dataset,
you are repeatedly dumping the same SMF records. Did you notice the NOT
CATLGD 2 disposition on all executions after the first?
Will not INDD(INDD1,OPTIONS(ALL)),OUTDD(DUMPOUT,TYPE(89)) clear it?
There are tools on the CBT tape that will analyze SMF records and tell you
what other jobs are using your SMFDATA dataset. I'm partial to Mike
Cleary's DAF tool.
As indicated earlier, no other jobs could be using the dataset. I made the
name up myself.

Re: Lookat
I've never used Lookat as I've always found it very fast and easy to access BookManager on the mainframe using the SimpList interface. For example, let's say I'm in the middle of writing a DB2/COBOL program and I want to know the syntax for INSPECT. In this case I'd type the following on the command line: BR .COBOL INSPECT This means 'Browse whatever object has been assigned to the COBOL label (in this case, this is the label I've given to the syntax manual on the COBOL bookshelf) and search for INSPECT'. The COBOL syntax manual instantly opens and every reference to INSPECT is displayed. When I run the program, let's say it ends with an SQL code I wasn't expecting (e.g. -415). I can go to any ISPF command line and type the following: BR .SQLCODE -415 This opens the messages and codes manual on the DB2 bookshelf and displays every reference to SQL code -415. BookManager lets you create your own personalized bookshelves, so you could (for example) create a bookshelf that lists every messages and codes manual. Lets say you give this bookshelf a label called MSGS, and later on you want to search every manual on the messages and codes bookshelf for ISPD241. You'd simply type this on any ISPF command line: BR .MSGS ISPD241 This is very fast, very easy, it works for anything (not just messages and codes), and no internet connection is required.

Re: VARY OFFLINE fat finger
John:
This discussion has been interesting...
WAY back in the 70's we did the opposite that is to increase the
number of devices that could could be varied on/off at one time. Our
SE did it within a STC called $DC.
Our ops were OK but were changed when in came to # of devices.
We had 2 systems and lots of paths to all the devies so we had to
make it simple as possible.

Re: z/OS and Metasploit
I'm not sure where everyone saw the ADCDMST userid being used. When I viewed the video, I saw the userid used, for the ftp, to be bt0, and that is set at around the 30 second mark into the video. I agree with many, who have participated in this discussion, that RACF can be configured to reduce exposure to breaches. However, not all shops have their systems tied down as tight as z/OS can be. To me this demonstrates the fact that they got logged into ftp server, submitted a job, that started a service, listening on a specific port, and then they utilized this port in order to examine parts of the system. It is a very basic demonstration, and of course one that does not show any specific exploit, that is true. But that could just be the start. How many of us, have in the past, had some sort of svc, that when called, would place the calling program into supervisor state? How many have properly secured access to critical system datasets. I recently read a presentation, where the presenter was a z/OS security system auditor, who would go into a shop, and then from a user with no special access, was able to in as little as 10 minutes, change the access that userid had on the system to a level where he could do just about anything. For us to look at this simple demonstration, and claim "well that is a bogus video", just ask the companies who have been breached (remember the calls from IBM telling us to install certain fixes asap?). We also tend to think about breaches being from external sites. You can do everything you can to lock down that access, but what about your internal network? That's probably not secured as tightly as any externally facing system/site. As stats show that almost 80% of data breaches are from internal (anybody remember Snowden?) personnel, the security of our z/OS systems requires us to tighten down the hatches, so to speak. Social engineering is one of the ways to find out and get into a system (ever had a user just come out and tell you their password when you were working on a problem they had reported?). z/OS does have more controls that help to limit what someone can do, but that only works IF the controls are in place and IF we, as system programmers, have not installed something that is a backdoor (or found that someone had previously done that), that can be used for nefarious purposes.

VTAM APPL alias definition
Is there any way to define an alias for a VTAM APPL definition. I would like to be able to define a second name and point it to an existing ACBNAME. I can't see anything in the FM, but I'm just double checking, just in case I've missed something.
