OSA-ICC console and POR
In the old times of 3174 (not so old for me), the console was able to reconnect automatically after POR. So the console could work as a NIP or later as MCS console. I observed that OSA-ICC console (actually emulator session) do not reconnect automatcially after POR. The session has enabled automatically connect option, but it didn't help. In fact it's not big problem to manually reconnect the session to the ICC, but I would like to have the consoles as in good old days of 3174.

Any clue? -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland I am not a hardware guru. Just to consolidate things in my head. Back in those days (and even today) certain local non-SNA 3270 devices were generated in the SYSGEN (now the HCD and CONSOLxx member) as being CONSOLES. With z/OS, there are two classes of consoles NIPCONS and normal consoles. The NIPCONS are in the HCD. The normal consoles are in the CONSOLxx member of PARMLIB. At IPL, NIP reads in the HCD and finds the NIPCONS. NIP uses these local non-SNA 3270 device addresses, if active, as consoles until the CONSOLE address space starts up. Then the local non-SNA 3270 address in the CONSOLxx member are activated. The above worked well in the real 3174 time frame because the 3270 terminals were always connected directly to the z machine, via a 3174 on a channel. In the OSA-ICC world, the OSA is emulating a local non-SNA controller. And is always telling whomever asks Yes, the device at address is working fine, feel free to send data!. In reality, the OSA is keeping a virtual 3270 buffer in its memory and mainly not doing much with it. Eventually, somebody on a PC will use a TN3270 emulator to connect to the OSA-ICC. The OSA-ICC will then associate that TN3270 session with one of its 3270 virtual devices and the user sees the 3270 screen. The problem now can be restated as how can I have the TN3270 emulators on specific PCs detect that the z/OS system has disconnected due to being IPL'd and have it, the emulator, periodically attempt to reconnect to the OSA-ICC. This stops being a z/OS question and becomes a PC Emulator question. Have you considered the x3270 emulator? It is not top of the line by any means. But by proper use of the ~/.x3270pro file, the keyboard can be configured along with other configuration options. And, at least on Linux, it could be started at Linux BOOT time. The magic is the -reconnect switch. The command might look something like: x3270 -reconnect luname@hostname So, what emulator are you using? Do you know if it has an automatic poll to reconnect on disconnect option? Note that I have a vague idea that it might be possible, somehow, to have a z/OS STC run at IPL time which can send a message (SNMP trap?) to some server (or to the PCs running the TN3270 emulator) which could then somehow (script?) cause the TN3270 emulator to be started or to reconnect to the OSA-ICC. Long ago, we had a PC which ran Rumba. This Rumba had a workbook which had 3270 printers defined in it. These were CICS printers which used to exist. The Rumba printers emulated 3287s and each virtual 3287 was associated with a Windows printer. I don't remember how, but we had this set up to automatically reconnect the 3287 printer sessions when they disconnected. IIRC, when disconnected, they would attempt to reconnect every 2? minutes until they succeeded. This is a little fuzzy. But fuzzy logic is all the rage now, right? -- P.S.

SORT JCL
Hello. I have file in which first 1-4 bytes is character format, the file is comming from a different vendor and they have now changed to S9(09) COMP . We have SORT card that is using (1,4,CH,A), this now we are seeing a different order. Could some one please let us know how to get the same order what was existing earlier.

If you could provide a sample of the record format, what it looked like before and how it looks now, that would be helpful. Are you using DFSORT or SYNCSORT? What level of the software?

Re: SORT JCL
(1,4, BI, A) will provide ascending sequence for unsigned binary numbers (1,4, FI, A) will provide ascending sequence for signed binary numbers. COBOL PICTURE clause of S9(09) COMP, is for a 4 byte signed binary number. On Jul 20, 2014 7:58 PM, Ron Thomas ron5...@gmail.com wrote: Hello.

One wonders how X(4) can be converted to S9(9) COMP. If the data was always BINARY (just not described as such) the same sort should work (unless some of the numbers were negative). But I would suggest that more has changed and that this is the tip of the iceberg. -- Binyamin Dissen bdis...@dissensoftware.com http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
