Hi,

we changed many JCLs using " AMP=('ACCBIAS=DO')" and succeded in CPU and 
elapsed time reduction (up to 50% in few cases).

We used SMF64 to choose the best candidates.
If needed, I can share a simple SORT step to convert SMF64 to "readable"
CSV file.

Best regards.

Re: [External Sender] Re: LRS VPS Printer Replacment

[Carroll, William]

Another vote for NPF.  I have the same exact situation as Dana.  Works well.  
We do CICS , Mainframe, Network, printing all through the same devices.  Not 
one issue for over 2 years.

Here's another vote for IBM's NPF.  It does indeed work, the only rough bits is 
the sort of un-intuitive way you set up printers and different types of output. 
 Between the bare bones ISPF panels, a slightly altered NPF exit from CBT tape 
to support different forms and seperator pages, and a home written REXX to 
summarize the configuration options, we make do and it does the job for our 
small number of printers.

Re: REXX/SDSF ISFLOG ' failure'

[Carroll, William]

For the isflog function to work using rexx/sdsf, the system has to be at zos1.12

Subject: REXX/SDSF ISFLOG ' failure'

Hello,

Just curious if anyone can guide me towards a solution to the following:

1. I am running z/OS 1.11 (from the z1090 distribution) 2. I want to use ISFLOG 
to read data from SYSLOG 3. Rexx Code I'm using looks like this

/* REXX */

RC=ISFCALLS('ON')
ISFLINELIM=10
ADDRESS SDSF ISFLOG READ TYPE(SYSLOG)
DO I = 1 TO ISFMSG2.0
  SAY ISFMSG2.I
END
DO I = 1 TO ISFLINE.0
  SAY ISFLINE.I
END

4. When executing :

ISF302E UNQUOTED-STRING was seen in command position 1 where one of the follo 
wing was expected: END-OF-STMT, ISFACT, ISFEXEC, ISFGET, ISFSLASH.
ISF767I Request completed.


Somehow making me think ISFLOG is not ' available ' ?

The books say : The ISFLOG command processes the logical log, which requires 
that |the JES level be at least z/OS(r) V1R11. |For more information, refer to 
SYSLOGhttp://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r12/topic/com.ibm.zos.r12.isfa500/genhindx.htm#genhindx
.

Are there any other things I need to implement before this ISFLOG works?

Thanks in advance

Re: SAVING OUTPUT WHEN IN $AVRS

[Carroll, William]

Willie,
You might want to look at the '$avrpull' utility.  The output from that can 
be written to disk.  This is a batch utility, provided with the product.

Good Day To All,
 
Could anybody tell me how I can save a job output which is in $AVRS to disk?  
In SDSF we use XDC, is there something similar in $AVRS?  I GOOGLED $AVRS 
however I didn't see anything helpful.
 
Thanks.
