Re: How Submit a JOB from Z/VM to Z/OS using RSCS ?
Speaking of submitting jobs, does anyone remember of have a copy of the old SUB EXEC that was floating around the network some years back? In addition to doing the requisite SPOOL/TAG/PUNCH commands, it also provided for parameter substitution, includes and nested includes. I seem to have misplaced my copy during one of my moves.

Sort Fields Question
Hello List, We have a CMS file, with some fields. One of this field is a date, in the DD/MM/YY format. We also have 200 records medium by day. Another field, is a numeric percentage that I need get the top 50 for each day. So, We think execute a sort under a REXX EXEC , like this : trace r queue 1 8 63 65 sort cpux9 batchw a cpux9 batd a exit But, looking on HELP of sort command can't see the descending option. We think this, because after the sort, will write another REXX that read only the first 50 records , and write another output file. Someone already have used the sort with descending order, or know if have another way to do this? Thanks very much, Sergio Lima Costa Sao Paulo - Brazil

Re: VTAM logmodes
(Subject line changed to reflect topic drift) Alan Altmark writes: As others have said, the problem is in the logmode associated with the non-SNA 3270 LU. For some reason, VTAM sysprogs keep using ancient logmodes for reasons they can't actually articulate except that's the way we've always done it. For almost a quarter century, the correct logmode for any 3270 has been D4A3290 (local SNA) or D4B3290 (non-SNA). I was unable to get these logmode names to work and they don't appear in the z/OS 1.9 Comms Server SNA Resource Definition Reference Manual. The 3290 logmodes are simple, removing all screen size and capability information from the PSERVIC field, and causing VTAM to query the terminal to determine its configuration and capabilities. However, the manual does document logmodes D4A32XX3 and D4B32XX3 in the Default logon mode table (ISTINCLM) in Appendix A and their behaviour closely matches your description: TITLE ’D4A32XX3’ ** * 3274 MODEL 1A (LOCAL SNA) * * PRIMARY SCREEN 24 X 80 (1920) * * ALTERNATE SCREEN TO BE DETERMINED BY APPLICATION * with PSERVIC being X’02800300’. The corresponding D4B32XX3 for non-SNA seems right too (same PSERVIC except without that 2 bit). I tried it out on my zPDT z/OS 1.9 system and it worked fine...once I'd stripped out the helpful DemoPKG VTAM config which didn't only have a DLOGMOD=S32793 in the VTAM entry for the terminal devices but also had an overriding default in its USSTAB which made the TSO command silently include a LOGMODE(S32793) as well. Since the commands to change all this dynamically are a bit fiddly to non-VTAM experts (all in the Comms Server SNA Ops manual) and one weak link in the chain means the dynamic sizing doesn't work, I guess it's simply a case of many people not quite getting 100% of the end-to-end config to work and then giving up and waiting a few years or so before seeing if it's got any easier. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Mainframe Systems and Software Business, Europe IBM UK
Re: Sort Fields Question
Sergio, Others have already pointed you at PIPE, I use it myself for descending sorts. There is no descending option in CMS SORT. There is a descending option in the XEDIT SORT command. I don't know if your data is going to span across months, but sorting the date formatted as DD/MM/YY using columns 1-8 will sort the first of every month together, and you will not be in date order anymore. For example, if your file contains dates from January and February, and you sort on 1-8, you'll see this results: 01/01/11 01/02/11 02/01/11 02/02/11 03/01/11 03/02/11 and so on...

Looks reasonable, doesn't it? Now, to really mess up their minds: create a guest machine with that name. Monitor who actually sends something to it. Then beat them with an appropriate stick for being an idiot. If you want to simply disguise the name, then I'd likely do something simple, such as: MVC MAQUINA+0(1),=XL1'05' MVC MAQUINA+1(1),=XL1'12' MVC MAQUINA+2(1),=XL1'25' MVC MAQUINA+3(1),=XL1'33' MVC MAQUINA+4(1),=XL1'41' MVC MAQUINA+5(1),=XL1'52' L 0,MAQUINA AL0,=X'E0D0A0A0' ICM 0,B'0101',MAQUINA+4 AL0,=X'10802070' STCM 0,B'0101',MAQUINA+4 This last is a bit nasty to the casual observer. Especially the use of the ICM to make the bytes in the second part of the name not be next to each other. And putting in the unused data in the AL instruction which don't matter and which does nothing in particular, will really mess up someone's mind But a smarty could still disassemble the module and do the instructions by hand to try to figure out what is going on.

Re: How can get the Week day ?
Technically, the first year of each century is cc01, not cc00.
Due to an appalling lack of consistency, the C programmers in the
first decade (0) of the first century (0) declared the first year
to be 1. :-)

Be careful with Date('C'). It doesn't really give you the number of
days in the current century (as it was originally documented). It
returns the number of days since the beginning of the most recent year
ending in '00', e.g. '2000'.

REXX also has a nifty function called Century Day that simplifies things
by working in century days, days since the beginning of the century,
rather than days since the beginning of the year.
Re: How can get the Week day ?
Well, not quite, unless you're using a VERY non-ANSI-Standard version
of Rexx. :-)
Say Date('U',0,'B') -- 01/01/01
But you're right about the C for Century; it was always better to
think of it as the Roman numeral for 100. It still suffered from the
same boundary issues as the old Julian date, just not as frequently.
The fact is, Date('C') is not even legal at Rexx Language Level 4.00
(much less ANSI Standard) which has been around for quite a while now.
So the best option is to simply forget about the Date('C') option in
the first place and use Date('B') instead. If you have existing code
that you need to convert, you can establish the Date('C') epoch as a
constant (now 730119) offset to the Date('B') value.

It is right with the DATE(B) function - 01/01/1001.
All the technicalities aside, forget about the word Century and view
the letter C as an abstraction for the described function. Then,
everything is consistent, even if technically incorrect.

tyvm, Chip, for the explanation. So this century really began in
Jan 1, 2001, not 2000. Interesting.
