Re: clarification on SDWAEPA. (was ...SWDAEPA)
The OP had an incorrect starting assumption that "the system" knows anything at all about SDWAMODN. It does not. That is a field filled in by the recovery routine. The trio of fields SDWAMODN, SDWACSCT, SDWAREXN (often accessed as a group by the containing name of SDWARECP) contain whatever a recovery routine chose to place into them. In the stated example, the system wouldn't know about "PGM2" at all. It wouldn't necessarily know about "PGM1" either, unless that was the name used for such a service as ATTACH, LINK, or XCTL. If the abending program is running in problem state under a PRB or IRB then there is a possibility that RTM2EPA will be set. For a PRB, it will be set to the value from CDENTPT if the RB has an associated CDE (RBCDE1). For an IRB, it will be set to the value from RBEP. For both of these cases there might be a module name. That is placed into SDWANAME. For a PRB, it comes from CDNAME (if there is a CDE). For an IRB, it comes from whatever CSVQUERY comes up with, based on the RBEP value. If SDWAEPA contains the EPA of PGM1, the odds are good that SDWANAME contains PGM1.

Optimizing DFSORT Use of Z Sort Accelerator
Hi, There has been a growing need to get the maximum value from the Z Sort Accelerator on z15s. To address this need, we created three sample ICETOOL reports that analyze DFSORT's SMF type 16 records. we also provided DFSORT Symbol mappings for SMF record type 16. You can access all of this information from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6603051 The information on this page will help you quickly and easily determine how your rollout of Z Sort Accelerator is progressing, and if there are changes that you can make to let even more sorts benefit from Z Sort. Thanks to Frank Kyne and Cheryl Watson for sharing the reprint of the Cheryl Watson Tuning Letter. The article "Optimizing DFSORT Use of Z Sort Accelerator" answers your questions to optimize your use of Z Sort.

Re: Optimizing DFSORT Use of Z Sort Accelerator
Hello Sri, As always, thanks for your tireless help on this topic. I was hoping this would show up in the TechDocs page (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibmsearch?q=&dc=DA900&task=&startdate=19380912&sortby=desc) ... but of course it doesn't. Serious question to IBM - What is the thought process involved in allowing technical folks to produce technical content, but then making it impossible to hear about. Was the gain of re-doing the TechDocs so profound that it dwarfs the impact of your customers missing timely technical publications? In this case, since it's in the newsletter & because of your post, we learn. What about all the content that goes totally unnoticed?

Access to System Symbols from a C/C++ program?
There seem to be way too many ways to access various subsets of System and JCL symbols. I have C/C++ code that I want to be able to read its own config file (a UNIX file, that is) and perform substitution for system symbols. I do not want the user to have to run an extra job step or the like. There is program ASASYMBM that is a standalone load module in linklist. Can I invoke it from C/C++? Do any of its environmental requirements clash with those likely to be encountered in a C/C++ program running either as EXEC PGM=, or invoked from a shell prompt? There is also the program IEASYMCK in SYS1.SAMPLIB. This calls ASASYMBM, and provides at least some guidance in using it. Then there is EZACFSM1, which is a TCP/IP utility that is evidently of more general applicability. But it is that separate job step that I don't want to have to run. Can I invoke it from my C/C++ code? Does it accept DDname overrides or UNIX files (fat chance, he guesses...)? Finally, there is an LE library function __le_ceegtjs(...) that retrieves "exported JCL symbols" one at a time, but doesn't do substitution. It's less than clear if this covers anything other than the target of a JCL EXPORT statement (what does EXPORT really *do* anyway...?). At least this is C/C++ native. Although it's not so important, I would like to be able to see user-defined symbols from the JCL as well as System Symbols. But I imagine this will be problematic if my program is run from a shell prompt/BPXBATCH, because it's likely to be in another address space. The overall effect I want is to be able to say to end users of the C/C++ code roughly "you can use System [and JCL?] symbols in the config file as you would in JCL or a PARMLIB member". This would include consistent use of & and . and .. during substitution. Suggestions?

TESTAUTH from C/C++
Marginally related to my previous question - I'd like to do a TESTAUTH from C/C++ code, and refuse to run if I'm not APF authorized. I'm not proposing to actual use the result for any sort of my own security testing, but just to know if calling a C/C++ library function that is documented to require APF (or better) is likely to fail so I can tell the user early. I don't see a C library function to do this. The TESTAUTH expansion is tiny, and I could use __ASM(...), but it's perhaps neater to just test JSCBAUTH directly in C code. Yes, I realize TESTAUTH is more than just testing that one bit, but I think it's true that if that bit is off (and I'm not in supervisor state or system key, which I won't be), then a TESTAUTH would fail, and that's all I want to know. Oddly enough, there *is* a library function that appears to test for the Program Controlled state. Well, maybe not - it's __must_stay_clean() which tests for the "must not lose Program Controlled" status, so not quite the same. What's the best approach?

Re: TESTAUTH from C/C++
IMO, If you are going down the path of writing C/C++ for z/OS of much significance, you will likely need to write some assembler routines that you can call from C/C++.Just bite the bullet and figure out the calling conventions (XPLINK?) and you will be glad in the long run. The compiler inlining support is another option that often good, but in many cases it can be tricky because you have to carefully declare all of the register clobbers, not to mention the crazy syntax and symantics of __asm.

Re: TESTAUTH from C/C++
That's what I did, for example to be able to call SWAREQ etc. from C or certain machine instructions which cannot be reached from C otherwise. Very small ASSEMBLER routines with clean C interfaces. Because we are only using 31-bit C with standard linkage conventions and NORENT, the linkage to the ASM routines is a no-brainer. No XPLINK. Even no LE dependencies or considerations. LE doesn't even notice that there are some small ASM routines doing some system-related work.

Yup - thanks. This is a 20+ year old code base that runs on z/OS and Windows with conditional compilation. It already uses a number of z/OS callable services, including RACF ones. I'm just trying to make it a bit more z/OS-friendly in the way it interacts with end-users and operations people. Part of this is issuing messages with the expected z/OS level of accuracy and particularity (don't laugh...), rather then the "Oops - something went wrong" that we see from Google and Microsoft et al. So it's not a matter of writing brand new C/C++ code for z/OS. If we *were* writing new z/OS code I'm pretty sure we'd be looking at the Open XL C/C++ compiler with its newfangled bells and whistles, 64-bit-only code, and so on. Our current code has run with LE and its baggage for a long time, and isn't likely to change.

Problems caused by Health Checker?
We’ve occasionally had problems with our production z/OS LPAR that seem to be caused by HZSPROC, and I was wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this. One problem we’ve seen is that sometimes when HZSPROC starts during an IPL, it for some reason seems to try to access a migrated dataset (we use FDRABR for dataset migration) and since DFRMM hasn’t started yet the recall fails. (We don’t know what dataset it is trying to access; none of the datasets explicitly in the PROC ever migrate.) Everything seems to freeze until we reply “CANCEL” to the EDG4012D message. This is annoying enough, but last Thursday one of my coworkers stopped HZSPROC because it was repeatedly issuing the message that ECSA usage was high. (We’d already scheduled an emergency IPL for Sunday to fix that.) Then Friday another coworker tried to restart HZSPROC to see if he could figure out the migration issue, and our system stopped working well. It looked like batch jobs were stuck in allocation or deallocation from what was described to me. (I’m semi-retired and don’t work on Fridays.) They decided to go ahead with the emergency IPL then and there, but without HZSPROC starting. That IPL went fine and we haven't seen any issues since then, but we’re afraid to try to start HZSPROC. Has anyone had issues like this with Health Checker? Any suggestions for how to resolve this?

Re: Problems caused by Health Checker? [EXTERNAL]
I've not seem this type of behavior as far as I recall. Depending on the level of z/OS you are running there are lots of different checks being done these days. I believe some of those try to "touch" datasets (maybe) to look at allocation information. Others may know better. Could that type of situation be causing the recall situation?

How to set time parameter in TSO/E REXX getmsg function
Hi all, Can we set variable time parameter in TSO/E REXX getmsg function ? We would like to specify wait time value from argue.

If you specify a time value and the time expires before the message is routed to the user's console, GETMSG does not retrieve the message.

There is no such capability; the directory must be accessed.

For one of their PCHPID belonging to OSA shows the port status as 'LINK MONITOR' When I checked with my network team if their switch sees the MAC address of my OSA port but they don't see it. From the physical cabling perspective what do I need to do?

Re: TESTAUTH from C/C++
inline bool isauth() {
int rc;
__asm (" TESTAUTH FCTN=1"
: "=NR:r15"(rc)
:
: "r1", "r14", "r15");
return rc == 0;
}

Marginally related to my previous question - I'd like to do a TESTAUTH from
C/C++ code, and refuse to run if I'm not APF authorized. I'm not proposing
to actual use the result for any sort of my own security testing, but just
to know if calling a C/C++ library function that is documented to require
APF (or better) is likely to fail so I can tell the user early.
I don't see a C library function to do this. The TESTAUTH expansion is
tiny, and I could use __ASM(...), but it's perhaps neater to just test
JSCBAUTH directly in C code. Yes, I realize TESTAUTH is more than just
testing that one bit, but I think it's true that if that bit is off (and
I'm not in supervisor state or system key, which I won't be), then a
TESTAUTH would fail, and that's all I want to know.
Oddly enough, there *is* a library function that appears to test for the
Program Controlled state. Well, maybe not - it's __must_stay_clean() which
tests for the "must not lose Program Controlled" status, so not quite the
same.
What's the best approach?
