Re: RSCS IP printing question
To be short; I solved it. The strange thing was: I'm currently upgrading to z/VM 5.2 That's running second level now and printing worked fine from the 2nd level system as it always did from 1st level... Apart from the OS all program products are on the same (old level) and the system is a straight copy of my 1st level. What I did to solve it: I updated the 1st level RSCS NAMES file because in my idea a reason might be that the string send by the PPS EXEC to RSCS did not have the right format and brougt the line down...just a bit of a gamble. Although the differences of the RSCS NAMES file with second level were 'irrelevant' (there was only an old printer definition in there (printing worked with it sitting there for a long time)), I removed the old printer definition and removed some blank lines at the end too (same story, they were there for a long time). Saved it... and voila!

Re: MORE... time during IPL
Sorry for the late append on this subject but I have been away for the last week. In this shop we use an ESS (RACF) and take the view that the sole job of AUTOLOG1 is to start up the ESS - nothing else. In the way we work OPERATOR has code in it's profile to wait until either the ESS is available or a set amount of time since the system IPL has expired. All of the servers are started by AUTOLOG2 which is autologged by OPERATOR when it is happy that the time is right, (there are various checks to ensure that this is only done after an IPL and to allow AUTOLOG2 processing to be bypassed when this is what we want). Even though you may not have an ESS there is no reason why you could not take this approach with AUTOLOG1 setting some value (or switch) on which OPERATOR could work.

CMSCALL return code
If your habit was to use L Rx,=X'...' you were probably lucky in the old days the =X literal would not necessarily be word-aligned, causing two fetches to load the register, or, in the days when alignment really mattered... a program exception. Not true. Assemblers going back to F (anything before?) have always ordered literals by alignment. Any 8-byte-multiple literal will be aligned on an 8-byte boundary, regardless of how defined. Then all 4-byte-multiple literals not a multiple of 8, then all 2-byte-multiple not x4 or x8, then all 1-byte-multiple literals. So, a literal =X'12345678' or =X'12,34,56,78', etc., will be 4-byte aligned. Richard Corak
Re: MORE... time during IPL
That's the same way VM:Secure works; AUTOLOG1 does minimal setup work and AUTOLOGs VMSECURE; VMSECURE then starts up and then AUTOLOGs AUTOLOG2 which brings up the usual suspects. I have written some code that runs in VMSECURE PROFILE EXEC which keeps checking for VM:Operator (could be PROP) to start up before VM:Secure begins. That permits VM:Operator (again, could be PROP) to properly handle any ESM error messages right from the start. It would be really nice if we could issue some CP commands (such as starting the virtual console SPOOLing) from the user's directory entry so that missing devices error messages and such at logon and such could be logged. Maybe IBM could deliver such a present (going back to VMSHARE's NOTE XMASGIFT) in a future z/VM release?

Re: CMSCALL return code
Wasn't the 360 assembler before F the Basic Assembler Language - the origin of the BAL acronym. It was designed so that it could be used on small machines where memory was at a premium. The scheme of sorting the literal pool according to size probably originated with it. In the early 360s, the Byte Oriented Operand feature was an extra cost option. Without it, a program check was the result if you violated the alignment requirements. Before that, there was 7080 Autocoder; however, the concept of a word was somewhat different. IIRC, you could set a register's length (1-256 characters - it was before the word byte had been invented) or load from a beginning address to a word mark in memory. Since starting address and size were arbitrary, there was no alignment requirement other than that word marks had to be in a 4 or a 9 position. If you chose to load to a word mark and there was none in memory, the load instruction would happily keep wrapping the register until the instruction timed out. The 7080 was a character machine that did decimal arithmetic. Its contemporary was the 7094 which was strictly 36-bit word oriented. Alignment in it was not an option. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Corak Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 8:23 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: CMSCALL return code If your habit was to use L Rx,=X'...' you were probably lucky in the old days the =X literal would not necessarily be word-aligned, causing two fetches to load the register, or, in the days when alignment really mattered... a program exception.

IPWIZARD z/VM 5.2
I was attempting to do a quick IP startup using files created from IPWIZARD. I say quick, as I only wanted that setup so I could ftp my files from the z/VM 5.1 IP stack. Anyway, am I correct in that the IPWIZARD doesn't handle a supernet? My netmask is 255.255.252.0 I think the proper network address is 192.168.192/22. Anyway, when I process the configuration (PF5 in IPWIZARD), I get: DTCIPW2508I DTCIPWIZ EXEC is attempting to create the necessary DTCIPW2508I configuration files The TCP/IP stack (TCPIP) must be restarted as part of this procedure. Would you like to restart TCPIP and continue? Enter 0 (No), 1 (Yes) 1 USER DSC LOGOFF AS TCPIPUSERS = 10FORCED BY MAINT DTCIFC2631E is not a valid subnet mask What I was trying to do I currently have z/VM 5.1 running in two LPARS. I have z/VM 5.2 running under each VM as a guest. From an IP point of view, I wanted to simulate these two 5.2 guests as running on their own LPARs. That is, I'm attaching tripple OSA addresses (real hardward) to the first level guest (VMTEST) so they can be attached to TCPIP on the second level guest. So from an IP point of view, it should look like I have 4 VM IP stacks running. In the old days, I would have linked first level minidisks to the second level guests as real disks, and transferred files that a way. But now, once you setup IP on the second level guest, I can FTP files back and forth in a lot less time then staging things thru disk. Since I've been on z/VM 5.1, we were assigned a supernet and that seems to be breaking the quick and easy way of setting up the IP stack. Am I correct that ipwizard isn't setup to do everything (like supernets)? If not, I'll stop beating my head into this wall and find another wall G Thanks Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting

AFP printing from Z/os to Zvm
We are trying to route print from our Z/os system to print on our VM system. All of the AFP resources ore on the VM system, the data is generated on Z/os and routed to VM. While printing we are not getting the Fonts or the Overlays to print correctly. We always get the first overlay in a 2 overlay set, and the fonts do not change at all. The print is controlled by ASA cc characters (which appear to work file) and TRC which appears not to be working. Any assitance greatly appreciated TIA Carl Do you Yahoo!?
