Re: how to suppress the message IEF196I

[Brian Westerman]

There isn't much you can do about the ones that come from jobs that are started 
under the master scheduler, but normal day to day stuff (everything else that 
runs under control of JES) is controlled by the MONITOR option of your 
consoles, the one that controls those "millions" of messages you probably don't 
want is MONITOR(STATUS).  You probably have something like 
MONITOR(JOBNAMES-T,SESS-T,STATUS):

From the Init and tuning guide:
"STATUS specifies that the system is to display the names and volume serial 
numbers of data sets having dispositions of KEEP, CATLG, or UNCATLG whenever 
these data sets are freed."

Whether or not you "need" them is something only you can decide.  I personally 
don't think they are useful, because if you want detail information you can get 
it from the SMF records (which I do), and they actually make the SYSLOG even 
harder to go through than it needs to be.  

Again, the discussion of whether you want them or not is totally up to your 
preference, not us, it all depends on what you want.  I maintain a LOT of 
sites, and only a very few want that data displayed on the console and SYSLOG.  
Since more (and better) information is available from SMF, I feel the messages 
are unnecessary, but it's your call.

Re: CA-SYSVIEW on z/OS 2.2

[Feller, Paul]

We had the issue with real storage.  It happened on an lpar with 2.5 gig of 
real storage.  After talking with IBM support we decided to standardize on no 
lpar was to be smaller than 4 gig.  After that the issues with odd lock ups on 
lpars went away.

We are running SYSVIEW under z/OS 2.2, but it is the 14.1 level.

Did you open an issue with CA?  Did you take a SADUMP? Did you search the CA KB?

I personally am working on z/OS 2.2 systems with 14.1,  not 14.2, but I know of 
many other systems with 14.2 and z/OS 2.2.



Is this a sandbox LPAR?  How much storage does it have?  I have already been 
involved in 3 cases on z/OS 2.2 systems for different clients with slightly 
different "lock up" problems during IPL or what looked like loops and in each 
the root cause was the LPAR only had 2G of real storage and starting a task 
with "high" virtual storage requirements caused a problem due to lack of real 
storage.  For example, the startup of DB2 or IMS during the IPL process.  The 
solution was to add at least .5G of real storage.

Re: how to suppress the message IEF196I

[ibmm...@foxmail.com]

Hi all

I check our operlog again to find out why there are millions of 
message(IEF196I) in the operlog every day.

Please see the part of operlog below: 

Most of IEF196I is normal.Because we use WLM initiator,there are lot of  
message( IEF196I) from batch JOB or START TASK.

How to suppress these  message( IEF196I) from batch JOB or START TASK. Is there 
any parm which could suppress them in JES2?

Would it be any worse than the 8.3 names we see nowadays?

But yes, the effort could be pretty much doomed by Corporate Standards
requiring titles to begin "International Business Machines® (A New York
Corporation) Multiple Virtual Storage Data Facility ..."

I believe the cross-reference link rot I mentioned earlier is aggravated
because the file names change with each revision and might actually
be alleviated by stable transparent names such as "JCL Reference.pdf"

If you are not adverse to looking at other tools, what functions do you really 
need?  Real time or after the fact?

Some functions will require a lot of resources, some - not so much.  For 
example, if they have to schedule something to run in the address space to 
collect data.

Once you have the list you can look at other options.

Be careful what you wish for.   Reminds me of the old days with a
physical hard copy manual library when we tried to use secretarial types
for putting new manuals in folders and labeling the folders.  We
continually had problems finding things because IBM was terrible about
using very long, very explicit manual titles like "Multiple Virtual
Storage Data Facility Data Set Services  (whatever)", which the help
dutifully copied.  They either ran out of space before they got to the
"whatever" that actually differentiated what the manual was about, or
there was so much verbiage the useful part was hard to find.  We tried
making rules about what parts of titles they could omit or replace with
acronyms, but having the technical staff keep that list updated and
training others how to use it became almost as much work as filing all
the manuals ourselves.  it was a continual battle until we were finally
able to phase out the hard copy library.

IBM could make file names of manual files reflect the formal manual
titles, and you could still end up with something difficult to use.

If you are not adverse to looking at other tools, what functions do you really 
need?  Real time or after the fact?  

Some functions will require a lot of resources, some - not so much.  For 
example, if they have to schedule something to run in the address space to 
collect data.

Once you have the list you can look at other options.

If you don't  need a data warehouse of performance data, you can just 
leave the TEPS/TEMS out as much as possible. A minimal TEMS in the MF is 
enough, but if it is a hog, you can whack it too. To create situations 
is a job unto itself. Omegamon maintenance is also becoming a full time

 Looking for opinions on this.

 We've been running Omegamon (MVS + CICS) forever. We're a small

Hmmm. Thanks. Link certainly seems relevant. (Interesting -- the page that 
opens is some weird VM-z/OS hybrid: z/VM z/VM 6.2.0 IBM XL C/C++ for z/VM
z/OS: XL C/C++ Programming Guide Coding: Advanced Topics Using decimal data 
types in C Programming examples.) But I find the same example in the z/OS XLC 
P/G PDF, so macht nichts.

But I consistently get 'D(*,*' for output. Here is my exact format:
"%*.*D(*,*)" and I am calling it with 20, 5, _number, precision, scale. 
(I started out with 20, 5 like in the example just to make my life
easier.)

Here's a rub. The code is C++ and fixed point decimal support is limited to C 
... but ... at the Spring TDM I asked a guy from Toronto why the heck the fixed 
point decimal support is only C and not C++. He told me -- very interesting 
story but I am going to play it safe here and assume it is under NDA. But he 
did tell me that I could call printf() from C++ and format fixed point decimal 
with no issues as printf() is a C function, not C++.

I had not added decimal.h to my code as there is no packed logic other than the 
printf() (data comes in from an external source). I added the #include but 
still no joy. 

I think I will write to the Toronto guy and ask him the same question I asked 
here.

KC offers this:



This page contains the following:

 printf("pd02 = %*.*D(*,*)\n",
  20, 5, digitsof(pd02), precisionof(pd02), pd02);

This appears to do what you want, but you will need to specify the width and

In the context of AVGREC, "record" really was intended to refer to
logical record size, not block size.  In my experience, this type of
allocation was typically used with System Determined Blocksize (SDB),
which means that the actual block size may even be unknown to the JCL
writer.  The values in "SPACE=(size,(pri,sec))" are just used (together
with any AVGREC multiplier) to calculate primary and secondary
bytes-of-data, which are translated into tracks or cylinders by SMS
conventions under the assumption that SDB will result in an optimum
block size with minimal wasted space per track.  When AVGREC is coded,
the convention is that "size" would be average record length; in the
absence of AVGREC "size" was intended by older conventions to be average
block length.  Although that is the convention,  there is nothing that
forces that convention or forces any consistency with actual block size
-- it is only important that the product of any AVGREC value and
size*pri and size*sec result in a reasonable estimate of the total space
requirements in bytes.  In both instances when dealing with RECFM=VB
data sets,  values used for average record size or average block size
are not required to be accurate, only reasonable enough to get adequate
data set space allocated.

If through some serious oversight (like coding something that forces
RECFM=F when RECFM=FB was intended) one forces usage of a very
inefficient block size, then the space allocated based on total byte
requirements under the assumption an efficient block size would be used
may be seriously inadequate if the actual block size results in wasting
much more space in every track.

S0D5 accessing dataspace

[Gary Weinhold]

We're experiencing an abend S0D5 that occurs at only one site.  We have an 
authorized program that issues a DSPSERV CREATE SCOPE=ALL to establish a 
dataspace.  It initializes several of the blocks in the dataspace but does not 
touch the rest of the blocks.  It then issues SYSEVENT TRANSWAP and WAITs for 
the ECB to be posted (unless it was already non-swappable).  Then it publishes 
the availability of the dataspace in CSA and WAITs for a MVS STOP command.

Later we run a problem state program that invokes a proprietary PC to acquire 
the dataspace ALET (ALESERV) and then accesses the dataspace blocks.  It runs 
fine until it tries to access a block that was not referenced by the dataspace 
creating program.  It then abends S0D5.

Are there conditions under which a non-swappable address space can become 
logically swapped out?

​I agree. Why would someone who could not do a "regular unzip" operation (which 
is built in to Windows Explorer!) want _anything_ from SHARE? "Hi, my name is

Re: new member, need old iron assistance

[Pommier, Rex]

Ahh, yes.  The slow refresh rate of the 3290.  I don't know about yours, but we 
could not only watch the 3290 repaint the screen top to bottom, but we could 
also hear it repaint.  Kind of a quiet rattling or rapid clicking sound during 
a refresh.  Couldn't hear it in the machine room, but it was definitely audible 
in an office setting.

I worked with a 3290 that had 4 mod-2 displays all visible at once.  I always 
thought it had 4 coax cables, but now I can't remember ever looking at the 
back.  It was in a tape room and had an MVS console for each of 3 systems, with 
the 4th display available as a TSO terminal. 
This was probably a couple of years before TN3270 emulators with multiple 
windows became popular, and I used it myself a bit (I was the tape sysprog at 
the time).  I remember underlines instead if highlighted text, probably because 
the plasma pixels just had two settings - on or off.  I also remember it being 
rather slow displaying text - you could basically watch the text "paint" itself 
from top-to-bottom when a new screen came in from the host.  But hey, you got 
to type on a 3270 keyboard with real Clear and Reset and Erase-EOF keys.  Now I 
feel bad because the one I worked on probably ended up in the trash.

I never heard of the museum, so I googled for the address and there's a 
street-view picture of a guy in a black t-shirt unloading various boxes that 
must be for the museum.

It's less than an hour from a datacenter I worked at last month, so if I need 
to go to Pittsburgh again I'd sure like to see the museum.  And yes, please 
post anything about it here!  Disclaimer: I have absolutely no authority

CA-SYSVIEW on z/OS 2.2

[McCabe, Ron]

Hello Listers,

Is anyone running CA-SYSVIEW 14.2 on z/OS 2.2?  We are upgrading our z/OS 1.13 
to 2.2 and CA-SYSVIEW needed to be upgraded too along with applying a required 
PTF to run on z/OS 2.2.  I got everything updated but when we start/run 
CA-SYSVIEW it locks up the system and the only way out of it is to IPL.

So if anyone is running CA-SYSVIEW 14.2 on z/OS 2.2 did you run into any 
problems, especially what I just described?  If yes, what was the fix?  I do 
have an open issue with CA Support on this but sure would like to know what 
others have run into.

Thanks,
Ron McCabe

[Farley, Peter x23353]

Current (before the "Creators" update) version is Ubuntu 14.04, which only has 
xpdf v3.03.  Xpdf latest version is v3.04, so you may want to wait for the 
"Creators" update to try again.  Or try the Windows binary directly from the 
foolabs site.

My guess is that John M. is probably running the latest Linux version of the 
xpdf tool.

Yes, they are there in the Win10 bash shell (or rather they are after you 
install the xpdf package).  The Win 10 bash shell is at Ubuntu level 14.04, 
which is a few years old now.  The new version due to hit Win 10 systems soon 
as a big update ("Creators" update) will have Ubuntu version 16.04 which is 
much more recent.

IMHO the availability of a genuine bash shell and all the Ubuntu Linux 
command-line tools is quite an interesting development in the Windows world.

Re: Large Scale Systems Museum announcement

And it should look like a 1990's web page (ok, not really).  This was my 
first web page ever - almost 20 years ago: 
http://www.mildredbrennan.com/temp/Kids1997-07/index.htm


And this is ever-so-slightly related to mainframes because I was at a 
job interview in 1997 at Tone Software in Anaheim, and when I mentioned 
my new daughter to the owner I was surprised he took the time to click 
on each link.  Nice guy, and he seemed to really care about his 
employees.  They were doing very well at the time, and had just 
purchased the large building they were in.  They seemed to have way more 
unix programmers than MVS though - which I guess was a sign of the times.

Re: Omegamon use?

If you are not adverse to looking at other tools, what functions do you really 
need?  Real time or after the fact?  

Some functions will require a lot of resources, some - not so much.  For 
example, if they have to schedule something to run in the address space to 
collect data.

Once you have the list you can look at other options.

Pare down Omegamon

BMC Mainview

CA SYSVIEW

IBM TIVOLI Performance monitors(Not sure of the name)



And I am sure others

BTW the "pdfinfo" command is available as a Windows binary available at the 
XPDF website:

http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html

The Windows package has only the command-line tools, of which "pdfinfo" is just 
one.  A quite useful set of PDF tools, IMHO.

Omegamon use?

[Lester, Bob]

Hi Folks,

 Looking for opinions on this.

 We've been running Omegamon (MVS + CICS) forever.  We're a small shop.  2 
lpars, not shared - monoplexes.

 As I upgrade these products, it seems that the GUI stuff (TEMS?) - which 
we've been avoiding - is more and more prevalent.

 What are folks in my position doing?  I'm tempted to configure all of it, 
but notice that the DSST task is a resource pig, even when it's just out of the 
box.

 Is it worth the resource usage?  Does it provide additional functionality? 
 (Yes, I have RTFM and I still pose the question).  Do I even have a choice?

 What are y'all doing?

Thanks!
BobL

I got fancy.  On MacOS X:

I made no changes to the extracted .zip directory.

Working in a new directory (in the same filesystem):

o I created document titles as *hard* links to the 8.3 pdf files.

o I created 8.3 names as symlinks to those hard links.

Now, with Mac Preview, the document titles appear in window title
bars and File; Open Recent shows document titles.

Adobe Reader shows the 83 names.

In both cases, cross-references continue to work.

Except, I used the HLASM General Info as a test because it has a
nice Bibliography.  But some links there work; others don't.  For
example, the link to the JCL User's Guide works; the link to the
JCL Reference doesn't.  The filename appears to be wrong.
I'll submit an RCF.

Re: SMS STORGRP question

[Jesse 1 Robinson]

(Replying to a later post for update.) Many thanks to all who participated in 
this thread. We finally got SVCDUMPs working as we desired. As we explored 
various suggestions, we realized that we already had the necessary elements in 
place. Our one (fatal) flaw was the migration threshold for the SVCDUMP group. 
In an ancient attempt to maximize available space, that limit had been set to 
1%. Hence the SVCDUMP group was never again selected for allocation once we 
added OVERFLOW. We didn't even need a low threshold in the first place because 
the RYO SVCDUMP management application itself issues HMIGRATE after digesting a 
particular dump. Solution was simply to raise the threshold to 85%. Except in 
cases of recurring SVC dumps or an abnormally large dump, the intended volumes 
will almost always have room. And in those exceptional cases, OVRFLOW is what 
we want.

Once again IBM-MAIN has come to the rescue.

Subject: (External):Re: SMS STORGRP question

Defining a storage group as OVERFLOW provides most of that function by default. 
 I believe the difference is that QUINEW volumes are used as a "last resort" 
whereas OVERFLOW volumes are used when the high threshold will be exceeded.

From "defining storage group attributes" in the Knowledge Center:

If all volumes in a non-overflow storage group are so full that the current 
allocation request will push them over high threshold, while volumes in the 
overflow storage group are not so full, then the new data set will be allocated 
on a volume in the overflow storage group. The assumption is that all other 
attributes of the non-overflow storage group and overflow storage group and the 
volumes in those storage groups are the same
Volumes residing in overflow storage groups are preferred over quiesced volumes 
and storage groups. If you quiesce an overflow storage group or volume then the 
quiesced volumes are preferred over quiesced overflow volumes.

Hey Jesse,
I have the same setup but I have my OVERFLOW volumes set as QUINEW so they are 
only used if the original SG can't hold all of the data. Hope this helps.

Subject: Large Scale Systems Museum announcement

   The announcement I promised is included below.  It was mostly targeted at 
forums that were already aware of it, but since most people here don't seem to 
have heard of us, I'll explain a bit.

   The LSSM is a public museum that focuses on minicomputers, mainframes, and 
supercomputers.  It has a distinct DEC bias, due to personal experiences and 
affinities of some of the staff, but there's quite a bit of IBM, HP, Cray, and 
other hardware as well.  The goal is for systems here to be runnable and 
demonstrable, and since most of us are also both electronics guys and 
current/former sysadmins, many of our systems do run.

   To name just a few, we have a few IBM System/36s, several early AS/400s, an 
IBM 4341 with peripherals (not yet running), a small S/390 system (running!), 
several Cray vector supercomputers, and more than a dozen DEC PDP-8, PDP-10, 
PDP-11, and VAX systems, most running and hands-on demonstrable.  The museum is 
free, informal, and friendly. 
We're a PA state nonprofit, with federal 501(c)(3) status applied for and 
pending.

   We don't have a real website yet (volunteers..) but there are lots of photos 
on Facebook, search for "Large Scale Systems Museum" there to see.

A few comments 

1) You only need to run the Define GDG once. So that should not be run again 
after the you create the GDG 

2) The z/OS environment no longer needs the parms of DCB=(lrecl,Blksize,..) 
they can all be specified individually. So you can code // 
UNIT=SYSDA,LRECL=xx,BLKSIZE=,RECFM=xx and so forth 

3) IDCAMS does not copy the Dataset attributes from the Input to the OUTPUT 
dataset. You may be able to use LIKE= in the jcl. But LIKE will not use a GDG 
for this function. So you cannot code LIKE=GDG(0). You can code LIKE=MYDATASET 

4) You may wish to use IEBGENER instead of IDCAMS to copy the file. It can copy 
the dataset attributes. There are many examples of how to code IEBGENER on the 
internet and in www.ibm.com. 

5) If you wish to use IDCAMS, then on the output DD include the dataset 
attributes, including SPACE, LRECL, BLKSIZE, etc... 

6) You do not need IEFBR14 to create the GDG generation. It is done for you 
when you code GDG(+1) 

7) If your dataset is controlled by the SMS ACS functions, then it will land in 
an SMS pool and not on the volume you specify. If your dataset is not 
controlled by SMS ACS code, it will land on the VOLSER you specify

Re: SHARE Proceedings self-extacting ZIP File reguesting Admin rights??

[Steve Smith]

People who "don't know how to use regular zip files" are extremely unlikely
to have the knowledge to make any use of the SHARE presentations.

There is no reason to create a so-called self-extracting zip file in this
day & age.  It's either redundant or useless, as well as an unnecessary
security risk.  Many companies will block download of an executable.

Re: IXGLOGR internal function

[Leonardo Vaz]

Good point Kees,

While I think you are right, DB2 does not access logstreams directly, DB2 uses 
RRS which makes use of logstreams, that the only thing I can think of.

Leo

Nathan,

Just to be clear: IXGLOGR is the z/OS System Logger task, which manages 
Logstreams. To access a Logstream, you need the macros Leo mentioned. As far as 
I know DB2 does not access Logstreams.

To access other data, you need other tools/macros.

SHARE also provides an ISO file for people that don't want/need the

I've never used GDGs.  But still, incrementing the generation number on
an input data set seems strange to me.

Don't GDGs depend on catalog services?  Doesn't specifying UNIT and
VOL bypass the catalog?

Re: SHARE Proceedings self-extracting ZIP File requesting Admin rights??

[Pfister, Nathan]

That's all in how the zip was configured (and what program was used) when it 
was created.

Two common issues with self-extracting Zips are the one you are mentioning, 
where it asks for admin privileges to run it and the other where it tells you 
that it may not be installed correctly.

I think it also depends on what directory structure you are attempting to 
extract to/from.

This issue popped up starting in Windows Vista (I think) when UAC (User Access 
Control) was implemented as a new security feature in the OS.

Re: SFTP issue with GDG Dataset

[venkat kulkarni]

Hello,

Thanks for reply. JCL mentioned in my previous email for creating GDG



//DEFGDG  JOB 1130,'TEST',

// MSGCLASS=T,NOTIFY=,REGION=4096K

//BUILD  EXEC  PGM=IDCAMS

//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*

//SYSINDD  *

   DEFINE GDG (NAME(TEST.TEST.TEMP)  -

   SCRATCH-

   NOEMPTY-

   LIM(7))

/*

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSUT2   DD DSN=TEST.TEST.TEMP(+1),

//  DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=VB,BLKSIZE=800),

//   SPACE=(TRK,(2,20),RLSE),UNIT=3390

//SYSIN DD DUMMY

/*



produces below GDG dataset.



TEST.TEST.TEMP

TEST.TEST.TEMP.G0001V00



But, issue comes when I try to copy this GDG into PS file using below JCL.



//SOLTSSO JOB (1130),MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=A,NOTIFY= ,TYP

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//INDD  DD DSN=TEST.TEST.TEMP(+1),UNIT=3390,

// VOL=SER=TSO020

//OUTDD DD DSN=TEST.TEST.TEMP,UNIT=3390,

// VOL=SER=TSO020

//SYSIN DD *

  REPRO -

  INFILE(INDD) -

  OUTFILE(OUTDD)

/*



Both of these above job produce same error is

IEF286I SOLTSSO STEP1 SORTIN - DISP FIELD INCOMPATIBLE WITH DSNAME

IEF272I SOLTSSO STEP1 - STEP WAS NOT EXECUTED.



Please correct me, where I am wrong in this whole process and not able to
find reason of this copy failure.
