You will need Dovetail's SFTP server implementation on z/OS to edit PDS 
members. Maybe PDS(E)s will be supported in a future version of SFTP on 
z/OS.



Alternatively - opening a can of worms :-) - recommendations for good text
editors for the same that run on RHEL?


Slickedit runs on Linux and can edit PDS(E) data sets using standard 
FTP. It also has support including context assist for all mainframe 
languages including HLASM, REXX, PL/I, COBOL. Of course, Slickedit used 
to be
the interal E editor used by IBM so you would expect it to support IBM 
languages off the bat. It's scripting language is a hybrid of REXX and 
C/C++ called slick-c. The FTP client supports both PDS(E) data sets and 
HFS,

which is the only editor FTP client I know of that does.

Re: z/OS Upgrade 1.13 to 2.2

[Pfister, Nathan]

You can go straight from 1.13 to 2.2

I would suggest checking out the Migration Guide:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/installation/

Or if you are running z/OSMF, the migration workflow for 2.2 is also available:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/downloads/zosmf-zos-v2r2-migration-workflow.html

(watch the wrap on links)

Re: AW: Re: How to output afp datastream (was How to output arp datastream)

[Howard Turetzky]

Peter's answers give an outline of transferring AFP (MO:DCA) data streams. 
Since AFP is a binary dat stream, it is not limited to z/OS file systems and 
can be sent as a binary file to any other system.

If you have a number of files you need to send, you may find IBM AFP Download 
Plus will save you time and effort, since it behaves much like PSF but 
transmits files (converted to MO:DCA if created as line data) along with all 
the necessary resources. Since it works like PSF, simply submitting the job 
sends the file. Your outsourcer can tell you if they are able to accept 
Download-format files. Otherwise, using ACIF, which will require JCL for each 
different job, is the best solution.

I will send you separately some instructions that are too long to include here.

Yeah but... Once you bring UTF-8 into the picture, there's a lot more
to do than a TR instruction. What happens when your record expands to
the point of overflowing the block? For that matter what if it expands
by just a byte, but it's V[B] and you want to then rewrite it? etc.
etc.

AMASPZAP to C main marked as $private

[Janet Graff]

I'm trying to create a zap for a C main.  The binder has designated the C main 
is in a $private code.  What's the AMASPZAP NAME card for private code?  
Alternatively can I force a name on the CSECT?

Here's the link map output from the binder 

   OFFSET   OFFSET  NAMETYPELENGTH  DDNAME   SEQ  MEMBER   

 0  $PRIV10CSECT   410  XMLRPC01  TESTDCAL 
   88   88 main   LABEL

The name card should be something like

NAME TESTDCAL TESTDCAL C_CODE

but that doesn't work.  A CSECT name of $PRIVATE, $PRIV10, or anything else 
I can think of doesn't work either.

Can anyone help?

Re: z/OS Upgrade 1.13 to 2.2

Thanks all for valuable inputs.

As i researched i need to apply lot of Prerequiste PTF's to full fill
the compatability checks.

Can i apply the latest RSU, will that satisfy and apply all the
prerequiste PTF's?
For example, RSU1508 will have all the PTF's that are present in
RSU1507, RSu1506,RSU, etc?

Appreciate your valuable inputs,

I believe PDSEs are described in terms not of "blocks", but of "pages",
each being 4KiB.  What overhead per page there might be, or how
the pages are organized in tracks is an OCO matter.

One might experiment with various BLKSIZES, perhaps 80, 6160,
20480, and 32720 (32760 is invalid for FB 80); write a few thousand
records alike to each, and use DSLIST to measure tracks used.

I find Slickedit painfully slow; it seems to be bound by X11 bandwidth.
Tedious locally; useless via VPN over DSL.  Feels as if it transmits a
payload of one pixel per packet.


X11!! Crikey, what system are you running on? Slickedit uses Qt on 
Windows, Linux and Mac. The native mac port is quite new and I know that 
used to fall back to X11.
Last week I opened an 8GB JSON file, positioned to the end, performed an 
edit and saved. The response time for each interaction other than save 
was sub-second.  I use it both locally and over a VPN and have never 
experienced performance problems.


Hipster kids all seem to be using Atom which I must admit is very slick. 
It's amazing what you can do with HTML and Javascript these days.



The FTP client supports both PDS(E) data sets and HFS,
which is the only editor FTP client I know of that does.


I wonder why there shoulc be such restrictions.  Do the other "editor
FTP client[s]" gratuitously impose constraints on pathname syntax?

What's Qt?  Does it go over VPN?  Do I need a Qt as opposed to X11
desktop agent?  QuickTime?

Re: Source for "98% of the checking transactions flow through a mainframe" type statements

Charles,

Here is a link to Mainframe resource info by CA technologies.
http://www.ca.com/us/products/mainframe/product-resources.aspx

There is one report in the Industry Analysts section called "The Mainframe 
Opportunity - IT Strategies for Achieving Breakthrough Value" and this link is 
http://www.ca.com/us/~/media/Files/IndustryAnalystReports/camainframe2revised11022009_213783.PDF

I think you will find some information supporting your position.

Re: z/OS Upgrade 1.13 to 2.2

[Timothy Sipples]

For the record, you can migrate from *any* operating system/operating
system release you like to z/OS 2.2. IBM hopes you do as expeditiously as
possible and reasonable.

Migrations to z/OS 2.2 only from these releases:

z/OS 1.13
z/OS 2.1

include IBM supported "coexistence" and "fallback." Many customers want and
appreciate having coexistence and fallback capabilities, and so they make
efforts to stay at least reasonably current on their operating system
releases. Having those capabilities helps reduce risks and the work effort
involved in migrations. But you are NOT required to exploit coexistence and
fallback capabilities. Yes, you can migrate directly from, as one example,
z/OS 1.11 to z/OS 2.2 -- without coexistence/fallback.(*)

I should also point out that "coexistence" is not the same word as
"co-located." Yes, it is possible to migrate from z/OS 1.11 to z/OS 2.2, as
one example, and have both those operating system releases be co-located on
the same physical machine. "LPARs work," to put it simply. The IBM
definition of coexistence is a different concept, discussed in the z/OS
migration guides.

(*) For perspective, the rest of the IT world does not have coexistence and
fallback, at least not to the level IBM offers.

Unlike (apparently) gil, I'm not at all sure I fit the demographic, but I may 
see how it copes with navigating a kernel source tree with ctags.
Like I need (yet) another editor - about as much as I need (yet) another 
"language".

Re: Upgrade of z/OS

[Brian Westerman]

The response from Lizette is correct, you should join the DB2 list, but the 
short answer is "yes" you can continue to run V8.  "Should" you run it is a 
completely different question, and the answer is "no", but not because it won't 
work.

 How about 

NAME TESTDCAL *
or
NAME TESTDCAL * C_CODE

  I am not a C programmer, so that is just my best
guess based on the AMASPZAP documentation for the NAME statement. 
For a program object, AMASPZAP invokes IGWSPZAP, which is owned
by the Binder component.
