Re: Creating XLS file

2021-03-25 Thread Bernd Oppolzer
There is another solution besides CSV which allows to specify field 
format, field width and so on.
This (text) format was defined by M$oft but it is not widely known; it 
is called SYLK (symbolik link).


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_Link_(SYLK)

I used it successfully to create ExCel Documents from a Mainframe 
(reporting) application;
the SYLK files then were downloaded and transferred to the customers 
which needed them (Filetype XLS).

ExCel opens them without problems.

Kind regards

Bernd

Do you mean formerly Bluezone?   I cannot answer your question about PSS, but 
they only support Windows in the desktop version.  All other platforms are 
supported by their web edition.We have a subset of users with MAC 
workstations and have no good way to provide MF terminal emulation without

Hi Rex,

You might want to protect QUIESCE and a few other similar commands so that they 
can only be done at a system console and not through SDSF and the like. See 
article "Protect Shutdown Commands" in our RSH RACF Newsletter:

Hi Radoslaw,

I knew you meant it as a joke and I took it as such.  Hence my smiley face.  
The OPERCMDS class has several entries in it but somehow QUIESCE was missed 
from way back when for a specific lock down so it was allowed by a more generic 
profile.  

I checked the type80 records and there was nothing immediately before the 
quiesce command was entered.  

O well, we figured out what happened and put security in place to minimize the 
possibility of it happening again, and we now know what to do if it does happen 
so we can get the system back up without issue and be able to find and train 
the guilty party.

Obviously the part about killing was only poor joke, but there is some sense 
hidden in.
I mean it is good idea to talk to person who did it. Not to punish, but talk 
and explain and hear his/her explanations.
For RACF admin it is quite obvious the security model should be somehow 
checked. Again the person can have good explanation of current state of 
protection.

Regarding traces - It is a little bit hard to test, especially without access 
to mainframe ;-) but I guess SMF80 can be written just before system freeze. 
Note it is RACF security check - it happens BEFORE the command is interpreted 
by the system. Simpler example: when you issue CANCEL CICSABC and you don't 
have such started task, you first will be checked by RACF (and maybe rejected) 
and then the command is really issued, and you will get answer like "there is 
no such started task to cancel".

BTW: I imagined what would happen after such case on production...

Well, x3270 if free, and there are lots of TN3270 clients for 3278 and 3279

How is it that just a few minutes after posting a question here, I find the

Abend S052-104

2021-03-25 Thread Gary Weinhold

We have a situation in a customer environment where they intermittently
get this abend when our product initializes in a jobstep.  The S052
abend explanation:

A program incorrectly issued a macro to request processing by Program
Call/authorization (PC/AUTH) service routines.

Register 15 contains a hexadecimal reason code in the form xxyy, where x
identifies the macro that was issued, and yy identifies the error. See
the system programmer response for an explanation of these reason codes.

*Code**  Explanation*
01yy  The program issued an LXRES macro.
0104 A job step attempted to issue the LXRES macro, but a prior job
step owned space-switch entry tables. (Subsequent job steps are not
permitted to issue PC/AUTH macros.)

Before applications using our product are started, our product
initializes an non-terminating address space in which we set up a system
non-space-switching PC. This PC is executed when our product is
initialized in a job step.  The function of the PC is to create a
non-space-switching non-system PC in our address-space with our "user"
PC for several supervisor state routines we need to invoke.  We also set
up an MVS RESMGR exit to allow us to cleanup at termination (which
includes an LXFRE).

So there is no doubt that we executed an LXRES.  But to me this abend
indicates that some prior step (could it perhaps not even be in this
job, but in some job that previously ran in this address space?) created
a space-switching PC and the address space is still is supporting it and
will not allow another LXRES.  So to prevent this error from occurring,
is there something we can do in our code, or should the submitter of the
job ensure that it runs in a different address space or should whatever
created the space-switching PC clean it up?

Or do I entirely misunderstand the meaning of this abend code?

Re: How to upload 600 files from PC to Mainframe

2021-03-25 Thread Don Leahy
WSA is another possibility.   It is part of ISPF (for now), so should be
available to all. Once you have wsa.exe running on your desktop you can
set up a batch job on the mainframe to pull the files over using the
FILEXFER service.   It’s fast, and doesn’t have to tie up your TSO session.

WSA is GREAT(!) and no problem at all to service. There hasn't been an

I can't for the life of me understand why IBM is dropping it...

I always connected to WSA from a batch job; other than the poor support for cut 
and paste, I liked it.

FSVO "all".  On the page at:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.f54u200/ispu295.htm

I read:
 Workstation Type
1. Windows  3. AIX  5. Reserved
2. Reserved 4. Reserved

That's pretty short of "all".  They seem to have dropped HP-UX and Solaris
after z/OS 2.2.

Perhaps insufficient client variety.

We've been doing it this way for years.   Very simple configuration and works 
pretty well.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email.

Hi,

I have been given the task of implementing a z/OS LDAP server on a sandbox.
I have been reading the manuals (the RedBook IBM Tivoli Directory Server for 
z/OS and the IBM Tivoli Directory Server Administration and Use for
z/OS)
The idea is to have this LDAP acting as a bridge between RACF and a program 
running on a Linux or windows platform (an userid administration program of 
some kind).
My doubt at this point is if I need to implement anything else besides the SDBM 
configuration. It seems to be that I do not need DB2 for the task at hand.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance for any help that you can give me.
Jack Zukt
