Re: VMLINK behavior
Hi Alain, Please XEDIT the VMLINK SEXEC S that you have and change: minidisklist = '' to minidisklist = 'S' and then file it on your A-disk as VMLINK EXEC. Then repeat the failing scenario. This might patch the problem for you. This is not an official fix from IBM. I am just trying to help get you past this problem.

Re: Running REXX compiled in z/OS in CMS
Mark, Many VM releases ago, VM Development wanted to have all customers benefit from performance improvements for some of the items that were written in REXX. You know about these parts like VMLINK, NOTE, SENDFILE, FILELIST and many others. However, we could not assume that all customers would install the REXX Alternate Library and customers would want to use these parts even before they got around to installing the REXX Alternate Library. So VM Development created a DMSRTPRC which is a library which is sufficient for the compiled REXX parts that are shipped with the VM product. It is not to be used by our customers for their own use because it is not supported for general use. There is no guarantee that your compiled part will run if you edit it to use DMSRTPRC. VM Development will not service DMSRTPRC if it does not work with your compiled part. We will service it if it fails with one of the parts that are compiled and shipped as part of VM. pdb (Doug Breneman) z/VM System Test IBM Endicott, NY From: "Gillis, Mark" To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 04/13/2011 04:26 PM Subject:Re: Running REXX compiled in z/OS in CMS Sent by:The IBM z/VM Operating System Thanks, Tracy. It sounds like we'll just need to require our customers to install the alternate library as a pre-req to our product. I'm a bit confused by all this though - IBM provide compiled REXX that has DMSRTPRC in the header and this doesn't seem to require the alternate library. If I edit a compiled REXX program and change EAGRTPRC to DMSRTPRC it works fine. If either works, why do we have an alternate library?

The Migration Guide is also your friend: [V5.2] High Level Assembler No Longer Required for Stand-Alone Dump Utility The IBM High Level Assembler is no longer required to build the Stand-Alone Dump Utility.

Re: REXX that verify what MINIDISK is a file
You might consider using MAKEBUF and DROPBUF around your code. You are stacking two lines of output when the file is on the A and the X disk. You pull one of them and leave the other on the stack. Since the second line is CATA EXEC X2, it will execute the CATA EXEC again, which will stack two lines, etc. Yes you have an infinite loop. If you want to execute the EXEC only from the X disk regardless of its possible existence on another filemode, you can EXECLOAD the copy from the X disk and then execute it since execs in storage get priority over execs on disk. EXECLOAD allows you to specify the filemode. EXECLOAD fn ft fm. You can even EXECLOAD the exec as a different name.

Re: Pass Phrases
Richard, The General Information Manual for z/VM 5.3 has passphrase support in the base. I looked in the Security section, page 16. Enhanced System Security with Longer Passwords Working together, z/VM V5.3 and the RACF Security Server for z/VM FL530 feature support the use of passwords that are longer than eight characters, called password phrases (also known as passphrases). A password phrase may contain mixed-case letters, numbers, blanks, and special characters, allowing for an exponentially greater number of possible combinations of characters than traditional passwords. To utilize password phrases, an external security manager (ESM) that supports password phrases, such as RACF, is required. To ease migration from passwords to password phrases, the RACF Security Server for z/VM continues to support traditional 8-character passwords. A new callable services library (CSL) routine, DMSPASS, allows authorized CMS applications to authenticate passwords or password phrases. The z/VM LOGON command, the z/VM TCP/IP File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Systems Management API, Remote Execution Protocol (REXEC), and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) servers, and the Performance Toolkit for VM have been updated to support password phrases. For environments in which password phrases cannot be used, but where additional password complexity is required, the RACF Security Server for z/VM also provides support for mixed-case 8-character passwords. Support for password phrases and mixed-case passwords enables a z/VM system to meet the enterprise password requirements imposed by many companies, governments, and institutions.

Re: File System - If you had everything, where would you put it?
Hi Gary, Dave Jones wrote: Note that in z/VM 5.4, a DCSS can live above the 31 bit bar, but it is still limited to the 2GB size. The DCSS above 2G support that went into z/VM 5.4 not only allowed them above the 2G line, but also allowed them to be 'concatenated' to appear to the a SLES guest to be greater than 2G. For information about what SLES 11 and SLES 10 with patches can do, a customer needs to refer to Chapter 19. z/VM DCSS device driver in the Device Drivers, Features, and Commands - November, 2008 book page 215 and can be found at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/development_documentation.html There it states: Starting with z/VM 5.4, you can: v Locate a DCSS above 2047 MB v Set up DCSS devices with a size above 2047 MB by mapping multiple DCSSs to a single DCSS block device and on page 217, the syntax on the "dcssblk.segments=" statement shows : the colon (:) separates DCSSs within a set of DCSSs to be mapped to a single DCSS device. You can map a set of DCSSs to a single DCSS device if the DCSSs in the set form a contiguous memory space. So Dave is correct that z/VM 5.4 still limits the size of a DCSS to 2GB, but Linux can use a set of them so that multiple DCSSs look like one memory space that is greater than 2G. I know that this does not help you with Solaris. Doug Breneman z/VM Development IBM Endicott, NY

Re: WAIT STATE
HCP1010W NO CONSOLE AVAILABLE. Explanation: The indicated disabled wait state PSW is loaded when an operational primary or alternate operator's console cannot be found. If you were running in virtual mode, CONMODE was not set to 3270. System Action: The system enters a disabled wait state (wait state code = 1010). If using the Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL), all registers contain the values held at the time the wait state was entered. Register 2 contains the console device address. Operator Response: There is probably a hardware malfunction. Notify your system support personnel. Verify that the RIOGEN macro instruction properly defined the primary and alternate system consoles. If you were running in virtual mode, enter the TERMinal CONMODE 3270 command, and re-IPL. If using SAPL, either specify the correct console address on the LOADPARM parameter of the IPL command or specify the correct console address using the 'CONS=' IPL parameter on the SAPL menu screen.

Re: HCPPGT401I 90% of spool
I believe that there is no external to change this. The message HCPPGT401I is from HCPPGT which checks for 90%. In addition, a value of 90 is hardcoded in the HCPMES message repository. >From the message repository: 040102 I 90 percent of all spooling space is in use. If the value could be changed, then logically, the percent value would be a variable instead of "90".

Re: The Programmable Operator Facility
You might consider using the CP SILENTLY command. From the help file for SILENTLY: Examples 1. To attach device 1234 to user MVS and suppress the messages sent to the issuer, to the user who is the object of the ATTACH, and to the system operator: a. Enable the ATTACH command for response suppression: modify command attach silent b. Issue the SILENTLY command for ATTACH: silently attach 1234 to mvs as 1234 If you are willing to add a 'NOMSG' option to the ATTACH command, might you be willing to precede the ATTACH command with 'SILENTLY' instead? I do not know if this meets your needs or not. Any ATTACH command that is not preceded with SILENTLY, will continue to operate as it does now. For any ATTACH command that is preceded with SILENTLY, message output is suppressed. For more information, please see the HELP files for CP SILENTLY and CP MODIFY COMMAND or get the information from the CP Commands and Utilities Reference book.

Re: Installation Verification Procedures
Hi All, Many years ago there was an Installation Verification Procedure for VM. This was mostly directed toward CMS tasks. We found that this was not very useful and removed it from our product documentation. We have a list of some items that we use as an IVP when we get a new release of VM. This is not an official IBM IVP. This include things like: CP IPL (MP) - stop if you cannot do this :-) CMS IPL (190 and Segment) - needed to do many other things. 190 is needed if the segment fails GCS IPL - needed for RSCS and other applications RSCS Initializes - needed for sending/receiving files PVM Initializes - remote system access SFS Initializes - file storage TCP/IP Initializes Able to logon to the system via telnet - remote system access Able to FTP to and from VM - needed for sending/receiving files NETSTAT command functions - needed for our environment Run test workloads to reach 50-70% CPU load for 4 hours. - load that is reasonable for us to ensure some stability. The test workloads vary. Linux and z/OS each IPL second level. - needed for our environment Workloads must run on both of these guest operating systems. These are some of the things that we do to initially verify the installed VM. If all of these work, then we have a good chance that we can continue to use the new release. The items that are important to you might vary from this list. I hope this list might act as one example.

Re: z/VM 5.3 FLIST
Hi Ron, You are correct; it is easy to update FLIST $PROFILE for a PF key. Someone on the list indicated that it would be useful if he could get a PF key for BROWSE in FILELIST. I appended to show how this could be done. I am not trying to convert anyone from FLIST to FILELIST. Both can get the job done. There are advantages to each. If you want fulldate, isodate, or shortdate, you can get it with FILELIST. If you want to move the command line to the top of the file, you can use CMDLINE TOP. FLIST can also do good things and the ease in changing the PF keys is just one of them. Doug Breneman z/VM Development IBM Endicott
Re: z/VM 5.3 FLIST
You can use the following macro to set PF10 to BROWSE and even display it
at the bottom of the screen. I used PF10 just because it was available.
This macro is based on the example shown in the appendix of the CMS Command
and Utilities Reference.
/* MYFLIST XEDIT -- My FILELIST profile to add BROWSE on PF10 */
Parse Arg filelist_input
'MACRO PROFFLST' filelist_input
/* Define PF key 10 to be BROWSE */
"EXTRACT /RESERVED */" /* Get all reserved lines */
/* find the correct line to change by looking for "10=" */
Do i = 1 To reserved.0 /* get each reserved line */
Parse Var reserved.i line color ext_high pss high text
pf10_pos = "POS"("10=",text) /* find position of the change */
If pf10_pos = 0 Then Iterate
/* change the line */
newtext = "OVERLAY"("BROWSE",text,pf10_pos+4,10)
/* put new line on screen */
"SET RESERVED" line color ext_high pss high newtext
Leave /* found desired line; leave loop */
End
"SET PF10 BEFORE MACRO EXECUTE CURSOR BROWSE" /* set PF10 function */
Exit
You can use this macro by doing FILELIST (PROFILE MYFLIST or you can SET
DEFAULTS FILELIST PROFILE MYFLST.

I'm a little embarrassed by my mistake. I had a misplaced RETURN command in the EXEC. I looked at the EXEC I don't know how many times and didn't see it. Do'h! Now my next opportunity. I want to take the file that was placed in the reader and receive it into a file (or a stem). To my knowledge there are at least two ways to do this. 1) the RECEIVE command (issued from an EXEC) 2) the Pipe READER FILE function both work but not the way I want. From a REXX EXEC, I issue the RECEIVE command. It brings the RDR file in and sticks it in a file called ALL NOTEBOOK even if I specify a file_name, file_type, file_mode. From a PIPE READER FILE function I am able to stick it in the file name, file type that I want but it is not formatted correctly(missing carriage returns and line feeds). I looked at some examples in some IBM manuals, but none touch on how to format it. Bottom line, I want it to be in the format that the RECEIVE command does but I want to give it a unique file name. The name ALL NOTEBOOK or any derivative there of is not an option. Any suggestions? Again, TIA, Steve G.

Re: START UR FCB Operand
Hi David, In the CP Planning and Administration book heading Creating and Modifying Image Libraries for Printers, you can see the UCS and FCB images used with a 3211 printer. You should have a IMG3211 CNTRL file as John indicated. If it is not found when you do the Q IMG, then you will need to use the IMAGMOD IMG3211 command.
