You are most welcome!

But I cannot take credits alone. Actually all credits and thanks must go to the 
very kind and bright/brilliant/fantastic DFSORT people who created these nice

Best way to tell in code if in Supervisor State?

2014-08-19 Thread Charles Mills
I have a callable (non-PC; just basic CALL) that requires APF authorization
by the caller. It partially operates in Key 0 Supervisor State, but I want
to allow  callers the flexibility to enter in any key and either state.

I know how to get to and from Supervisor State with MODESET (SVC form). I'm
familiar with MODESET (SVC form) and have used it a fair amount in the past.

I can then use IPK and SPKA to save and restore the caller's key, and to get
to Key 0.

But what would be the best way to determine whether the caller had entered
in Supervisor State so I could return to the caller in his original mode
(and also avoid the overhead of MODESET)? Some sort of "store PSW"
instruction so I could TM on bit 15?

Thanks,

Charles

SPKA operation question with Register 0

2014-08-19 Thread Charles Mills
Does SPKA use normal "addressing" logic such that SPKA 0(0) means "set a PSW
key of 0" and not "set a PSW key equal to bits 56-59 of register 0"? I would
assume so but the P Op does not say that in so many words, and I wanted to
make sure.

Re: PLPA entry (was PLPA enty)

2014-08-19 Thread Peter Relson

You don't need to IPL to add or remove datasets from linklist.

You can create a new PROGxx member that uses another linklist name (other 
than your default 00), and then issue the "T PROG=xx" that points to that 
new linklist, then you can issue the SETPROG command to make the new 
linklist the active one to all tasks (JOB=*), then the old dataset can be 
deleted without it being part of the active linklist.


This is all true, but don't forget also to remove that data set from LLA 
management and also don't forget that "make the new linklist the active 
one to all tasks" is the UPDATE function which is unpredictably dangerous. 
It may work for you (it usually will); it may not. There is no way of 
fully knowing, and any errors (whether abends, program interrupts, or 
incorrect behavior) that result are yours to live with. You will not get 
any sympathy from me (or IBM service).

If you do use it, you should probably use the DELAY operand of LNKLST 
UPDATE (the UPDATE will happen immediately, but the tail end processing, 
which includes freeing old structures, will be delayed which might give a 
work unit time to complete its usage of the old LNKLST set before it's too 
late).

It might well be worth trying LNKLST UPDATE before re-IPLing, but don't 
bet your house on its working.

The only thing that is truly safe is to let new address spaces and jobs 
use the new lnklst while old ones continue to use the old one. But that 
will not let you delete a data set that was in the old lnklst.

Dataset update error from MVS guest

2014-08-19 Thread Jake anderson
Hi,

I am trying to update a dataset but I receive the below error :

IEC212I 414-04,IFG0201R,JAKE099,PROC099,ISP09114,0F81,TCHN01,
TCHN01.ASM.DATA
***

IBM manual says :

Explanation
04
An I/O error occurred writing a DSCB during processing of a CLOSE macro
instruction.

I am trying to update this dataset from a MVS Guest running over a VM. The
DASD are shared and I have connected the Volume to MVS guest as READ/WRITE
but still I get this error.

MVS guest is running at Z/OS 1.13.


One of a link from Google I took :

ABEND 414-04 Mean?
 Ran into this one recently and I thought I'd share. Essentially, a volume
can be set to READ ONLY. This is something outside the scope of any
security product that might be running on the system, meaning you may have
RACF permissions to a data set, but if the volume on which that data set
resides is READ ONLY, you'll get the 414 abend. The solution is to get your
system programmer to un-read only the volume so you can write to it.

I was also looking at :
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK37533

But not sure if it is really matches the error that I am getting.


Any thoughts or suggestion on the above.

Regards,
Jake

This has always been my approach - protect the long running address spaces.
Of course, on a sysprog sandpit it can be a matter of "full steam ahead, and 
damn the users". The users in that case being (only) "us".

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,

Re: U4093-92

2014-08-19 Thread Lizette Koehler
So some more details would be helpful

1) what version of z/OS?
2) What got the abend
   Batch Job
   USS process
CIC transaction
  IMS Transaction
  DB2 stored procedure
  Etc


Please post the CEE Dump output.

The question you ask is not sufficient for use to provide guidance.
Also, what internet searches or manuals have your reviewed to resolve your 
issue?  It helps us to not provide the same information you have already 
reviewed.

Re: U4093-92

Am I missing something? What is an ABEND in a loadlib? Loadlibs don't ABEND; 
running programs (tasks, actually) do. If a program is running okay, it does 
not ABEND. If a program ABENDs, it is not running okay. What am I missing in 
what you write below?

It would help to provide all the details requested.

CICS - You need to use the CICS dump utilities to determine the issue.  I think 
CICS has a decent section for dump reading in the CICS manuals.

Since you did not say which version of CICS, I do not know what manuals to 
point you too.

Still too few info. Please review Mike, Charles and Lizette's questions. 
Without answers to her questions, it is very unlikely you will get any help.

I have one extra question: You should receive OTHER messages beside that user

"When we browse the loadlib"...   Are you getting an ISPF abend?  Until you 
give more complete information all you will get back will be wild guesses - if 
even that much.

revisiting the documentation dilemma

2014-08-19 Thread Pommier, Rex
Hi list,

I've been meandering through the archives and saw several threads regarding 
documentation changes that IBM has been implementing, with knowledge centers et 
al.  So my question is a rather basic one.  We just upgraded to 1.13 a couple 
months ago.  Do the documentation DVDs no longer exist even in softcopy form?  
On my old 1.11 system I was able to download and install a DVD image and have 
the documentation library locally on my PC.  If I want to have a similar 
functionality with my 1.13 documentation do I need to download each manual I 
want individually and build my own library?  I spent a couple hours yesterday 
on IBM's web site(s) and it appears that this is my only option.  Could 
somebody please confirm whether this is correct or if there is someplace where 
I could do a mass download of books please point me to it.

Thanks,

Rex

Ron,

You may have issues with doing diagnostics.

This Manual is a good place to start.

z/OS Diagnostic Data Collection and Analysis
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247110.pdf

It covers just about all types of abend analysis.

Correct, DVDs are no longer being produced.  I forget what version of z/OS they 
did that.  z/OS V1.13 may be the last - but I am not sure.

I would recommend getting MOZILLA browser and install the addin - DOWNTHEMALL.

It is very fast to down load anything from the web.  I use it to download all 
of the IBM Manuals I want.  I think I downloaded 678 PDFs from IBM in about 10 
mins maybe 20 mins.

There are lots of threads about 'LookAt' which has been sunsetted too. Search 
the archives for 'LookAt'. You will get many hits which confirm what you found.

Seemed so, unless I'm mistaken. My last DVD was for z/OS v1.12 which I uploaded 
to a PC to be shared via webpage and also to my Bookmanager.

I also came to that conclusion and already warned my colleagues and users to 
begin using IBM Library Server. So no Bookie or my own webpage with PDFs in the 
future. And no fast lookup on SYSLOG to messages.

I did not bother to tell them about LookAt. Simply because it is 'sunsetted'. 
There is a post in IBM-MAIN about replacing Lookat with something 'better'. 
Well, I'm still waiting for the promise to be fullfilled.

It appears that you have Real Address 966F defined as Virtual Address 0F81 in 
your MVS Guest.  What Binyamin is asking for is what does "Q V 0F81" (Query 
Virtual 0F81) show?  You will need to issue this command from the MVS Guest ID 
either before IPLing the guest, or by pressing the PA1 "key" and entering the Q 
V 0F81 command, (then enter "b" for BEGIN to restart the guest.  The "Q V 0F81" 
command should display something like this:
DASD 0F81 3390 TCHN01 R/x   n CYL on DASD 966F SUBCHANNEL = 
If the fifth word is R/O then the volume is linked Read Only.  It should say 
R/W if it's linked Read Write.

Since your query shows that the real volume is attached to the VM system, that 
should mean that you have a full pack MDISK defined in a VM directory entry, 
(presumably the MVS Guest ID).  The full pack minidisk entry should look 
something like this:
MDISK 0F81 3390 000 END TCHN01 MWV
The "MWV" allows Read/Write access even if another ID also has it Read/Write, 
(do you have another ID that might have this same volume linked R/W?).  The "V" 
tells VM to use Virtual Reserve Release for the volume, (Very important if you 
are sharing the volume with other MVS Guests!).

EPSW is interesting because it didn't (and logically couldn't) exist
until the Interpretive Execution facility came along. An unprivileged
instruction that revealed details of the true current PSW when running
under VM/370 would break the rule that it's not possible to determine
if you are running in a VM, other than by observing artifacts like
execution speed, or by using a non architected facility like Diagnose.

Sent by:IBM Mainframe Discussion List 



Hi list,

I've been meandering through the archives and saw several threads 
regarding documentation changes that IBM has been implementing, with 
knowledge centers et al.  So my question is a rather basic one.  We just 
upgraded to 1.13 a couple months ago.  Do the documentation DVDs no longer 
exist even in softcopy form?  On my old 1.11 system I was able to download 
and install a DVD image and have the documentation library locally on my 
PC.  If I want to have a similar functionality with my 1.13 documentation 
do I need to download each manual I want individually and build my own 
library?  I spent a couple hours yesterday on IBM's web site(s) and it 
appears that this is my only option.  Could somebody please confirm 
whether this is correct or if there is someplace where I could do a mass 
download of books please point me to it.

Thanks,

Rex

The Softcopy Librarian still works for z/OS 1.13. For that matter, it
mostly works for z/OS 2.1 too. You can download and update large
collections of books with a very few clicks.

Who knows how long it'll be before SL follows LookAt and .BOO files
into the sunset for being too useful.

Re: U4093-92

2014-08-19 Thread Charles Mills
I was wondering if that was what the OP meant ...

If so, you can totally ignore it. A program load module contain the words
"DISASTROUS ERROR HAS OCCURRED" but the existence of that text does not
indicate the existence of a problem. Neither does the text "U4093-92."

Are you saying that, when you browse the load module in its library, you see
within it the text 'U4093-92'?  

If so, maybe that is just a part of a message that gets displayed in the
event of an actual problem.

Woo-hoo!!!

Thank you, Bob.  I don't know how I missed that one - except that I was looking 
for the previous edition of it and couldn't find the bulk download for that 
one.  This is exactly what I was looking for.

Much appreciated, downloading now.


Elardus,

I went to the link Bob provided and about 3 clicks later got to a screen where 
I could download K3T4271V.  I believe this is what I'm looking for, have gotten 
it downloaded but got pulled into a couple other situations so haven't been 
able to play with it yet.

Thanks, all (especially Bob and Lizette).  :-)

Different results with ASCRE starting IEESYSAS vs. own proc

2014-08-19 Thread Peter Hunkeler
I'm running some tests with ASCRE and am getting some difference in the result 
I cannot explain. Here is the relevant part of the code:


  WTO   'ASCRETST starting system AS as IEESYSAS.TSTCWCIS', *
  ROUTCDE=(2,11),DESC=7
MODESET KEY=NZERO,MODE=SUP
ASCRE  STPARM=SISPARML,INIT='IEFBR14 ',   *

WTO   'ASCRETST starting system AS as TSTCWC.TSTCWCTS',   *
  ROUTCDE=(2,11),DESC=7
MODESET KEY=NZERO,MODE=SUP
ASCRE  STPARM=STSPARML,INIT='IEFBR14 ',   *
  ODA=ODA,ATTR=(PERM)
MODESET KEY=NZERO,MODE=PROB


SISPARML  DC AL2(SISPARME-SISPARML-2)
SISPROC   DC C'IEESYSAS'
  DC C'.'
SISSTCNAM DC C'TSTCWCIS'
SISPARAM  DC C',PROG=LISTACEE'

STSPARML  DC AL2(STSPARME-STSPARML-2)
STSPROC   DC C'TSTCWC'
   DC C'.'
STSSTCNAM DC C'TSTCWCTS'
STSPARAM  DC C',PROG=LISTACEE'
STSPARME  EQU*


 This is IEESYSAS in SYS1PROCLIB:

//IEESYSAS PROC PROG=IEFBR14
//IEFPROC  EXEC PGM=&PROG


And this is TSTCWC in SYS1.PROCLIB

//TSTCWC   PROC PROG=IEFBR14
//TSTCWCS1 EXEC PGM=&PROG


Both address spaces are created as system AS (not jobspace AS). They run just 
fine as expected. It is only how they are shown in a "D  A,TSTCWC*". I had 
expected to see them as TSTCWCIS.TSTCWCIS and TSTCWCTS.TSTCWCTS, resp. However, 
only the former, starting IEESYSAS, meets the expectation. The latter, starting 
TSTCWC, is shown as TSTCWC.TSTCWCTS. See below for the full "D A,TSTCWC*" 
response.
What is special about IEESYSAS? What have I overloked?

Assuming you meant that you are inspecting the load module with ISPF Browse or

time from a module in CEE.SCEELKED, likely CEEBINIT or something similar.

I will bite? I am curious. What problem are you trying to solve that lead you 
to browse a loadmodule and suspect that because it had the potential to issue 
this message, it was suspect?
There are lots of scary text messages in lot of loadmodules. It is only when 
they are issued by the running (or failing) program, that they are of concern.


Unless you are searching for the  Platinum Pyramid.

Hi Dave,

No flame war, just good, positive feedback.  Another poster mentioned the 
ability to download manuals thru Softcopy Librarian (I haven't actually looked 
at it because I've been happy in my little world of Bookie and my 1.11 library 
installed on my PC) and Bob Rutledge kindly pointed me to a location where I 
can still get the library for download.  

Just the way the list is supposed to work.  :-)

Not a flame, but I've finally gotten used to the InfoCenter delivery.  But soon 
I'll be "forced" to accustom to the "Knowledge Center" delivery.  The 
presentation is somewhat like the InfoCenter, but finding stuff initially is a 
bit more challenging.  For example, to find the doc for the COBOL compilers, 
one must look under the "Rational" navigation entry.

ASM calling C or C++ subroutines

2014-08-19 Thread Donald Likens
I have been looking at the LE documentation now for days and still not sure 
what I need to do to have my Assembler program call C or C++ programs. I need 
this interface to be very efficient because I will be calling these subroutines 
maybe more than a 1,000,000 times a day. What I have come up with is to use 
CEEPIPI to build the environment.

 LAR5,PPTBL   GET ADDRESS OF PIPI TABLE  
 STR5,@CEXPTBLCEEXPTBL-ADDR -> PIPI TABLE
 L R15,PPRTNPTR   GET ADDRESS OF CEEPIPI ROUTINE 
* INVOKE CEEPIPI ROUTINE 
 CALL  (15),(INITSUB,@CEXPTBL,@SRVRTNS,RUNTMOPT,TOKEN)   

I will have three subroutines so I think I need to put each one of these 
routines in the preinit table. 

Now I think I need to use CEEPIPI again when I want to call each subroutine. 

 STR11,PARM 
 L R15,PPRTNPTR   GET ADDRESS OF CEEPIPI ROUTINE
 CALL  (15),(CALLSUB,PTBINDEX,TOKEN,PARM,  X
   SUBRETC,SUBRSNC,SUBFBC)   INVOKE CEEPIPI ROUTINE 

Note: 
Note: The C routines have not been created yet, so I can't try these things out.

Questions:
1) Do I have it correct?
2) Do I even need LE?
3) The book talks about XPLINK. I don't quite understand it. Is this something 
I should explore more?

Re: revisiting the documentation dilemma

2014-08-19 Thread Kirk Wolf
I concur re: DownThemAll!  I have been using for several z/OS versions to
get the manuals and it works great.   You just go to the main PDF page and
then set a filter that says that you only want pdf files and let it rip.

FWIW - If anyone is using Linux or Unix, following a script that will
generate symbolic links with the PDF title for all of the pdf files in
directory.   Its very handy so that you can have meaningful names for all
of the PDFs.   (You don't want to rename the PDFs, since some manuals
contain links to others and the original filename is needed).

#!/bin/sh
# Make symlinks to all .pdf files in the current directory to names that
match their Title:
ls -1 *.pdf | while read f
do
  echo "Examining: "$f
  title=$(pdfinfo "$f" | grep "Title:" | cut -c17- | tr -d '/\\:' | tr ' '
'_')
  if test -n "$title" -a ! -s "$title.pdf" ; then
echo "link $title.pdf -> $f"
ln -s "$f" "$title.pdf"
  fi
done

I call C (not C++) subroutines from HLASM. But I do it by making my HLASM
LE compliant from the start. I see no reason not to. My start up code looks
like:

 PRINT GEN
 MNOTE *,'SYSOPT_OPTABLE=&SYSOPT_OPTABLE'
 SYSSTATE ASCENV=P,
   AMODE64=NO,
   ARCHLVL=2
 IEABRCX DEFINE
 IEABRCX DISABLE

BALR OPSYN BASR
_CSECT   OPSYN CSECT
CSECTOPSYN RSECT
 POP   PRINT
LSENQCEEENTRY PPA=LSENQ_PPA,
   MAIN=YES,
   AUTO=DSASIZE,
   BASE=R11_32
 USING CEECAA,R12_32
 USING CEEDSA,R13_32
 J GO
GOBACK   DS0H
 CEETERM RC=RETURN_CODE,
   MODIFIER=MODIFIER,
   MF=(E,CEETERM_BLOCK)
 LTORG
GO   DS0H
* code goes here
LSENQ_PPA CEEPPA LIBRARY=NO,
   PPA2=YES,
   EXTPROC=YES,
   TSTAMP=YES,
   PEP=YES,
   INSTOP=YES,
   EXITDSA=NO,
   OWNEXM=YES,
   EPNAME=LSENQ,
   VER=1,
   REL=1,
   MOD=0,
   DSA=YES
 CEEDSA
* DYNAMIC AREA IS DEFINED HERE.
* THIS MUST BE INITIALIZED DURING EXECUTION.
* THIS IS WITHIN A DSECT, SO NO DATA IS REALLY INITIALIZED
 DS0D FORCE DOUBLEWORD
... data areas
RETURN_CODE DS F
MODIFIER DSF
RETURN_VALUE DC A(0)   PREVIOUS DEFAULT DUB
REASON_CODE DC A(0)
CEETERM_BLOCK CEETERM MF=L
DSASIZE  EQU   *-CEEDSA
 CEECAA
 END   LSENQ

The code above can call the C language subroutines, such as SPRINTF(), as
well as user written C code. I have never looked at using XPLINK or C++, so
I can't say anything about calling that type of code. Note that the above
can still use all the normal z/OS macros that non-LE code can use. And it
can call non-LE routines, both system, vendor, and user supplied. In
particular, I use the above to write z/OS UNIX programs. In my programs, I
use C subroutines as well as a number of the UNIX callable services
(BPX? routines) as well as z/OS services such as ISGENQ and others.
However, in many cases, I try to use LE service routines instead of native
z/OS services. Especially to get dynamic storage. I don't use STORAGE
OBTAIN / RELEASE or GETMAIN / FREEMAIN and use CEEGTST / CEEFRST to get
storage in the LE maintained "heaps". But this is just my preference so
that the LE formatter knows about them.

I've done a similar thing, but discovered that not everyone at IBM (or

The script you showed tests for that eventuality, but I figured it might be

How to cleanly shutdown a socket server?

2014-08-19 Thread Donald Likens
I have been struggling with this for a while... Cancel always works but I don't 
think that is clean. I just looked in the IP Socket Interface guide hoping it 
would help but the design noted there has a task receiving data forever. I do 
not have a problem if the socket is busy. I can always set a switch and 
terminate. My problem is when the socket is idle. It is waiting for input and 
does not know it is to shutdown.

My most current idea is to setup a ESTAE to ignore SA03 abends and detach the 
task. I have not tested this yet but it seems unclean to me (even if externally 
it will look clean). I have also thought about setting a timeout value but I am 
concerned about using this. If the socket times out, do I have to close and 
reopen the socket? How long do I wait before I timeout? Does this cause a lot 
of overhead?

Have you created a socket server? Did you have a clean way of shutting it down? 
Please explain how. Thanks

Re: Different results with ASCRE starting IEESYSAS vs. own proc

2014-08-19 Thread J R
Since forever, a stepname of IEFPROC (and a ddname of IEFRDER) 
have had special meaning within started procedures.  Among other 
things, they allow JCL parameters included on the START command 
to build a "//IEFPROC.IEFRDER DD" override statement.  

Also, the IEFPROC stepname affects the jobname of the address space 
and the way it is appears in an activity display.  (Whether or not you 
start the task with an identifier also affects the display.)  

I presume address spaces created internally via ASCRE may well be likewise 
affected.

Re: ASM calling C or C++ subroutines

2014-08-19 Thread Dave Day
I call a C routine to compress char data from my asm code.  These are 
the steps I use.


1)Load CEEPIPI and save its address.

2)Load the C routine, and save its address.

3)Get stg for the  CEEXPIT table.

4)Build the parm list to pre-init the table, then call CEEPIPI to init it.

5)Build the parm list for the C code.

6)Build the parm list for the LE call.

7)Call CEEPIPI using the address saved earlier, with the parm list just 
created.


Steps 1 thru 5 are done once.  Step 6 & 7 get done on every call.  
This works for me.

 IF A SYSTEM ADDRESS SPACE IS BEING STARTED   @L1A
 AND THE PROCEDURE NAME IS 'IEESYSAS', OVERLAY@L1A
 THE PROCNAME WITH THE NAME OF THE ADDRESS@L1A

Re: How to cleanly shutdown a socket server?

2014-08-19 Thread David Crayford
Checkout selectx() in the IP sockets manual. It has extra parameter for 
an ECB list. The idea is to start two threads, one that listens for a 
shutdown command via EXTRACT/CIB etc and the other is the socket server. 
When you receive a shutdown event post the ECB that selectx() is waiting 
on and run your shutdown code. Of course, you may be processing data 
when the ECB is posted so you have to check the ECB before issuing 
selectx().

Re: ASM calling C or C++ subroutines

2014-08-19 Thread David Crayford
That looks good to me. Make sure that you setup the parameter lists 
correctly. C/C++ are call by value languages. The code path for calling 
a routine is just a few instructions. It loads LE control blocks into 
registers and then uses BSM to invoke the routine.


You certainly will need LE if your calling C/C++ code other than Metal/C.

You only need XPLINK if your C/C++ programs are compiled XPLINK. I 
always use XPLINK because it almost always generates faster code but the 
subroutine linkage is very different to OS linkage and you have to take 
that into consideration when debugging.

2) Do I even need LE?
3) The book talks about XPLINK. I don't quite understand it. Is this something 
I should explore more?
