Re: z/OS CP037 and OMVS CP1047
David, This whole process has been a massive learning experience. It started out being the "simple" task of getting a java11 jar running on the mainframe so we didn't have to stand up Linux servers. Oh, and have a CICS COBOL program talk to it (POST) using JSON. I had never written EXEC CICS WEB or TRANSFORM code before, nor worked with DFHJS2LS or created JSON schemas. I have now gotten the POST to work while leaving my OMVS process in CP1047 and not using the jetty encoding java option. I've never worked with jetty either. Currently, the jar is running under BPXBATCH in a job. I plan on converting it to a started task. Hopefully that will honor START and STOP commands. We have JzOS batch launcher but I have never used it. Why is that preferable to BPXBATCH?

z/OS CP037 and OMVS CP1047
In all my years I never realized that OMVS uses CP1047. What I am trying to configure is giving me fits. I have a CICS program that is trying to do a WEB CONVERSE with an embedded jetty server jar running under BPXBATCH. I might find that running the server this way will not work, but I am giving it a whirl. All of my problems seem to be with square brackets. The script that runs the jar has square brackets surrounding the port number, JSON input to DFHJS2LS has square brackets surrounding "required" items, and the body of the POST have square brackets surrounding an array. I can use CP1047 to execute the OMVS script and run the DFHJS2LS utility, but nothing I try works on the WEB CONVERSE. It looks to be trying CP037 square brackets. I've tried CCSID in DFHJS2LS, CODEPAGE in WEB CONVERSE (with and without CLICONVERT) to no avail. I have confirmed that the JSON in CICS has the CP1047 brackets. It seems that the best solution is to get my OMVS process to use CP037, but what I tried doesn't work. I found documentation that BPXBATCH does this with STDENV of LC_CTYPE="En_US.IBM-037", but tit does not change the behavior of the script running under BPXBATCH. In the code below the server honors the port number if the brackets are in the right codepage. If not it defaults to 8080. -Ddw.server.applicationConnectors[0].port=8192 Paul -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: IBM Development Clueless about COBOL DEV activities
From the description that sounds like IBM Migration Utility - Converts CA Easytrieve to 'COBOL'. None of the doc I could find specified what level of 'COBOL' was produced though... It produces the source, which is then dynamically compiled with whatever COBOL you are running.

Re: When should we ACCEPT DB2 PTFs?
My approach is to perform a backup and document of every major DB2 maintenance cycle. If I have relatively stable code I will accept what I have in production before starting a new cycle knowing full well I could revert to someting even earlier if need be. I am curious what usermod would have a PTF chain 50 sysmods long. DSNXGRDS and/or DSNUTILA for Hourglass - or something similar? IMO I would like to see IBM more closely couple those products and relieve the customer of that burden.

Re: Performance Monitors from IBM
APA is pretty easy to set up. Have a look at the Customization Guide (which picks up after the SMP/E work is done). There will be RACF stuff if you go with external security and some Java settings if you want to sample WAS. I'd say the hardest part is setting up a meaningful sample and then interpreting the results.

Re: PDS/E, Shared Dasd, and COBOL V5
I was concerned when I saw the PDS/E requirement for COBOL 5 load modules, not only because of the effort involved but also because of some prior PDS/E problems - some fairly recent and some not so recent. I discovered to my surprise that our application load libraries have been PDS/E for years.

z/OS SAS Installation
Hello, Am I the only one who misses the rationale behind the z/OS installation and maintenance of SAS 9.2 (and now 9.3) using the Software Depot? I imagine it would be more palatable if it was straight foward and error free. Also, has anyone evaluated (or converted to) the World Programming System (WPS) with any success?

Re: z/OS SAS Installation
Yes, I got the 3590, which is a DSS restore to traditional z/OS PDS datasets followed by jobs to create and populate the zFS dataset). So far, so good but the Hot Fix process is still a Depot process fraught with z/OS limitations and errors. I'm working through the issues now, but I didlike one-hour installs that turn into weeks or months long processes. More and more of the vendors are adopting these installation productivity methods. Thank you for the info on the WPS analysis tool. I will definitely look into it.
