Re: LOOKING FOR INFO
That means you can support up to 96 controllers does not necessarily mean you have that many. There are a few ways you can figure out how many controllers you have. 1. Physically go to the F05 frames(cabinets) and look to see how many controllers you have. Not sure what flavor you have C06(P5) or C07(P7). 2. Look at the tape devices in your IODF and view the device there will be a LIBPORT-ID associated with the devices. Each LIB-Port is a controller. 3. In your IOCP each Control Unit defined for your tape drives in the library will be a controller.

Re: Extended SMS routine
A small suggestion for the code below would be to add a unique identifier to
each WRITE Statement. It seems like every company I've implemented SMS in has
constructs which are assigned at multiple points in the code.
If that were to be true in this case, it would be more difficult to determine
at which point DSOMEDC was assigned. I've found it to be very helpful to add
identifiers like
WRITE 'DC000100 DATACLASS SET to ('DATACLASS')'
Each DC# is unique to that WRITE/EXIT combination. When debugging an issue, it
can speed things up as your EXIT point is immediately identified. You can also
add some of the WRITE variables to help you in debugging the issue like DSN,
DD, ANYVOL, etc.
//
IF DATACLAS EQ '' THEN /* HONORING SPECIFIED STORAGE CLASSES*/
SELECT
WHEN (DSN EQ WHATEVER)
DO
SET DATACLAS EQ 'DCSOMEDC'
WRITE 'DATACLASS IS SET TO ('DATACLAS')'
EXIT
END
WHEN (DSN EQ SOMETHING)
DO
SET DATACLAS EQ 'DCOTHER'
WRITE 'DATACLASS IS SET TO ('DATACLAS')'
EXIT
END
(repeat as needed)
OTHERWISE
SET DATACLAS EQ ''
END /* END SELECT */

Re: New zPDT redbook
Mike; There must be more to it in migrating a program (Cobol compiler ) written in C that uses many Linux components (Bison springs to mind but there is a lot more) that accesses files both in the current directory and in specific one's (e.g., /usr/local/lib/ and others). I do not think just recompiling using the IBM C compiler is enough somehow. Otherwise it would have been done some time back - unless someone knows better ? As it is I can use the compiler's in OS/390 or Z/OS such as : IBM COBOL for OS/390 VM 2.1.2 or IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 4.1.0 But there appear a lot more complex for building a few simple accounting applications that I have running under gnuCobol on Linux that I have now made Open Source on sourceoforge. A long time ago they did use CICS (1970's) but al that was replaced using SCREEN SECTION which has its own problems if running in a GUI environment such as Linux KDE/Gnome or even - if you have to - Windows) I am not really up to putting CICS back into them assuming is has seriously been improved for working on PC's -0 which I doubt. Possibly better to try and change them to support using via a web browser which would be a long - process as I have never tried such, but hay, I am retired with a far bit of time on my hands. The other issue I have is trying to work out how to get any kind of printed o/p from both O/S's to my PC and then to a PDF file as I have under MVS 3.8. JES2 only seems to understand a 3800 and not a simple one like a 1403. The former is far to fancy in its handling to just transfer over to a PC and print out without a lot of control and other junk chars getting in the way. Not helped by the JES2 paramw able to be in so many different places in the system - applies to both OS's. There was a time - OK, MVS days when you could get 1/2 books that would cover most of what you needed to do and give references to the primary IBM docs for the others but that seems to have vanished now with the current O/S crop - or is it I am getting to old (68 shortly)!
