OT: Univ of Waterloo (Was: Extracting MACLIB members)
Phil - I'm happy to find someone who worked at the University of Waterloo. Did you work on any of the great software that Waterloo wrote for academic use? Like WATFOR, WATFIV, WATBOL, Lisp, Modula-2, WPascal, WAT-C, Waterloo Basic, Student CMS, and WATFILE? We ran them all. Waterloo really dropped the ball on the marketing of WATFILE. They had both a CMS and a PC version of this wonderful tool. In many ways it is superior to Excel. The site license for the CMS version was reasonably priced but $495 per copy of the PC version was just too high in the 1980s. I still have copies of the Waterloo VM Modifications tapes.

SHARE: Chairbears!!! Houston...we have a problem
Heya! So the last plea garnered some interest in what a chairbear does, and some said they'd set up their schedule. There's NO BETTER time to plan your SHARE activities than NOW! It's not far away and you have a great opportunity to help and chair a session or two. If everyone just takes one or two, it'll be really easy and painless. So review the list and pick the sessions you're going to anyway and offer to chair them!! It's that simple!

ISPF File Tailoring
OK, here is an example of some file tailoring that we do for our programming staff using ISPF and Dialog Manager. This one creates a compile job stream for a COBOL CICS program. It may or may not contain SQL statements, that is determined by the library type (COBOL or SQLCOBOL). A REXX EXEC drives the process (display panel, do some basic editing to validate what can't be handled on the panel itself, invoke file tailoring to create top of JCL, punch it, punch source member, file tailoring for bottom of JCL, punch it). It uses ISPF shared and profile variables to initially populate the panel (but I would guess that CMS global variables would work just fine too). I could handle the XEDIT full screen stuff to replace the panel, but I don't know much about CMS plumbing if that's what would replace file tailoring.

Re: ISPF File Tailoring
It's not so much a plumbing exercise as it is changing the JCL skeleton to use REXX variables and REXX style logic. No global variables required, unless your passing data between invocations of the EXEC.

If you get yourself some Cisco router and switch education, along with VM, VSE, MVS, and Linux network configuration expertise, you have a marketable skill.

Their natural inquisitiveness and fascination with shiny objects puts them squarely in harm's way. ;-) The only problem is that they learn quickly which buttons give a shock and which give a treat. Worse, they share that information with others in the herd, thereby reducing the opportunities for people like me. (See how upset I am? See?) But if I could have charged for all those VM TCP/IP, Guest LAN, and VSWITCH phone calls in the early days, I could have purchased that small out-of-the-way island I've had my eye on for some time.

Re: ISPF File Tailoring
I think the globalv variables would be information that is the same from one invocation to the next, such as userid, jobclass, destination, account numbers, etc. A typical skeleton jcl modifying pipeline would be something like this: 'PIPE ' skel_fn skel_ft skel_fm , '| change /USER/'|| userid() ||'/' , '| change /DEST/'|| destination ||'/' , '| change /J/'|| jdate ||'/' , ' OUTPUT JCL A' Then you submit the OUTPUT JCL file to your batch system.

Re: Performance Toolkit and VM64152
Correct. RTM will not run on z/VM 5.2.0. Since you will be running Performance Toolkit on your 5.2.0 system, you should install VM64152/UM31956 to Performance Toolkit before trying to bring it up.

Re: ISPF File Tailoring
On Thu, 18 Jan 2007 07:26:30 -0600, Ed Zell [EMAIL PROTECTED] w rote: OK, here is an example of some file tailoring that we do for our programming staff using ISPF and Dialog Manager. This one creates a compile job stream for a COBOL CICS program. It may or may not contain SQL statements, that is determined by the library type (COBOL or SQLCOBOL). A REXX EXEC drives the process (display panel, do some basic editing to validate what can't be handled on the panel itself, invoke file tailoring to create top of JCL, punch it, punch source member, file tailoring for bottom of JCL, punch it). It uses ISPF shared and profile variables to initially populate the panel (but I would guess that CMS global variables would work just fine too). I could handle the XEDIT full screen stuff to replace the panel, but I don't know much about CMS plumbing if that's what would replace file tailoring. Sorry for the length of this post, but the skeletons are pretty big! I appreciate any thoughts on how to convert something like this. Ed Zell Illinois Mutual Life Insurance (309) 674-8255 x-107 At the risk of losing my VM Bigot button, I'll have to say that customizi ng JCL is exactly what ISPF is good at. The actual customizing of a skeleton is easily done with XEDI T or Pipelines or REXX. But ISPF puts up a nice simple form to fill, in, remembers what you enter for next time, and then uses those values to create the JCL. All that is quite easy to set up -- a pie ce of cake. You can of course use XEDIT or CUA2001 or DMS/CMS or XMENU or ..., to put up the screen, then save the values with the GLOBALV command, then write a simple Pipeline to customize the skeleton JCL. I could probably (still) do it quicker in ISPF. 25+ years ago I wrote code to customize and submit JCL. I used the tools available at the time: EDIT and EXEC(1). Just stack a bunch of CHANGE commands and then call EDI T against the file. It didn't have a front-end form though, just positional parameters for the E XEC call.
Re: Performance Toolkit and VM64152
As RTM doesn't work at all on 5.2, if you want the replacement to work, then yes, you need to apply it (and license PerfKit).
