CHARLOTTe Updates to WW2CORE REXX
Good morning - I am still using CHARLOTTe 2.10 in z/VM 3.1. I think it is great for except one annoyance -- newer HTML entities such as “ ”squo; ‘ & do not get translated into displayable EBCDIC characters. I think it is WW2CORE REXX that does this work and I would like to update it but I don't know how to decompile the compiled REXX. The source code is not in the CHARLOTT package on the IBM DOWNLOAD site. The package has a note that source code can be obtained by contacting charlotte.supp...@gems4.gov.bc.ca but this address in no longer active. Does anyone know of a newer contact address? Or has someone already updated CHARLOTTe to handle the mentioned HTML entities? /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 47 years mailto:f...@zvm.sru.edu http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" --

Re: Converting Text to XLS
Richard - I often send CSV files with a .txt extension. I use a TAB X'05' as a delimiter which is the default for for .txt files. The files are sent to user's network drive. They start Excel, OPEN the file and Excel recognizes the TAB delimiters and automatically pulls the file into the spreadsheet. Only one thing for the user to do: Select all, click Format -> Column -> Autofit selection. I get no complaint from user about having to do this format. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 46 years mailto:f...@zvm.sru.edu http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" --

Martin - The DIAG D4 instruction can be used to change the ORIGIN of a file in the RDR. I pass the real ID of the user in the POWER DIST= parameter and I send the print to a DVM where DIAGD4 is running.

RSCS: Printing to Ricoh Copier with LPR
Hello list - We have various models of Ricoh copiers around campus to which we have been sending print from RSCS Networking Version 3, Release 2.0-0201. Recently authorization codes were installed on some of them. Without the use of this code the print just goes into the bit bucket. So from RSCS everything looks normal but nothing prints. On the Ricoh Customer Help page http://tinyurl.com/yf2mtku there is a question: How do I add a user code when printing from a Unix command line? and the answer is: You may add a user code to a Unix print job by adding -o usercode= to the command line. For example: lp -d restricted_printer -o usercode=12345 /etc/hosts My question: Is there any way to get RSCS to send the usercode?

Re: Basic FTP question
Bob - If the userid is logged on you can't get write access to the 191 disk. With WS-FTP I specifyuserid.RDR as the remote directory. The file will end up in your RDR in NETDATA format. Note that the FTPSERVE machine must have enough workspace to hold your whole file during the FTP. It then does a SENDFILE to the specified user. What I did was define a 64M virtual disk to FTPSERVE to use as a work area. Works great! /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 46 years mailto:f...@zvm.sru.edu http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" -- On Fri, 2 Oct 2009 09:47:58 -0500 Bob_Henry said: >I'm trying to set up an ftp session from my PC to z/VM V5.1.

Re: EMail with a binary attachment
I can verify that MailBook handles binary files just fine. Of course you may not be able to use the binary files on VM, such as a .JPG, but you can forward it to your PC mail client and it will still be a good binary file. I am an avid fan of MailBook. It's been my primary email client since I started using its ancestor, RiceMail, back in 1990. I have EXECs on DVMs that use MailBook to send emails to various people when certain events occur. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 46 years mailto:f...@zvm.sru.edu http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" -- On Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:23:26 -0400 David Boyes said: >MAILBOOK (which does this and a whole lot more) is still available.

Re: RES: How to Read partial dasd file directly ?
Hello João - I think there is some confusion because you are asking a VSE question on a VM discussion list. So this is a VSE solution. You say you know the extent of the data so what you need to do is get an entry in the VTOC that includes the extent of the data without altering the data. Here is a program that will put an entry for a sequential disk in the VTOC. * $$ JOB JNM=PUTVTOC,CLASS=8 * $$ LST CLASS=C // JOB PUTVTOC /* D=03/17/2001,T=14:16:42,L=FRAN,N=J.PUTVTOC ,U=FRAN */ // OPTION LINK // EXEC ASMA90 PUTVTOC START 0 BALR 10,0 USING *,10 OPEN UOUT EOJ UOUTDTFPH TYPEFLE=OUTPUT,DEVICE=DISK,DEVADDR=SYS005 END /* // EXEC LNKEDT // DLBL UOUT,'THIS IS MY FILE',0,SD // EXTENT SYS005,88,1,0,720,300 // ASSGN SYS005,DISK,VOL=88,SHR // EXEC /& * $$ EOJ Change the EXXTENT stateent to match th extent where you found the data. Run th eprogram and then you can use any sequential read program to get the data. I'm not sure if this will be helpful especially if the VSAm file had FREESPACE defined and it was used.

You are correct Kris. I just ran a test where I flooded my WAKEUP
with 10 SMSGs in quick succession. Tey were all processed one at a
time.
But I am SURE that when I first wrote my WAKEUP routine I was losing
SMSGs. Could it be because they were RC=1? I don't know when I
added: 'CP SET SMSG IUCV' to cause RC=5 on SMSG.
I do not use WAKEUP's FILE option.

Re: Opinions needed on next version of TXT2PDF
LeLand -
I have TXT2PDF running as a stage of a PIPE that reads input
from the RDR and sends it directly to RSCS or my FTP2HOME machine
where it gets FTP'd the the user's network home drive. I use the FORM
and DIST parameters to decide how to the files should be processed
and distributed.
We use TXT2PDF in production every day. The main use is to produce
academic transcripts. The text of the transcript is created on VSE
and routed to my VM/PDF machine where the registrar's signature and
the seal of the university are added from .jpg files. The result is
sent either to RSCS for direct printing to PDF capable printers or it
is sent with SSL security to the eScrip-Safe.com Global Electronic
Delivery Network. See: http://www.scrip-safe.com/sendtrans.html
The second popular use is to send reports from VSE to a user's
network home drive. The reports are routed through VM/PDF where the
green bar overlay is added. An unexpected bonus I discovered is that
space suppress carriage control works perfectly and we can
therefore send underlined data. Without PDF the underline appears
on a new line.
I'm VERY happy with TXT2PDF and I recommend it every chance I get.
At this time I am not looking for any improvements to TXT2PDF. I may
use the fonts feature when available but I doubt if I'd ever use
the UNICODE feature.

When he showed up two weeks later the registrar sent him to me to get him registered into whatever courses were still open. He was fascinated with the machines and asked me if I had student employees. I told him that I had just been authorized to hire someone and he got the job. Paul worked for me until he was graduated. He then went to the University of Pittsburgh where he earned a Masters in Computer Science. Now jump to 1969 when we had a real computer (IBM 360/40) and we were looking for a Director of Computer Services. Paul applied and got the job so I was now working for my former student employee. Paul left SRSC to become the Director of the University of Pittsburgh Computer Center where he worked for 20 years. About two months ago we invited SCT Banner and Oracle/Peoplesoft to give presentations on their Student Information Systems. Guess who gave the presentation for Peoplesoft? It was Paul. (FYI - I will not be participating in selecting the successful vendor). My second story: While Paul was my manager I was programming manager and one of my programmers was Carl. I did not like being a manager and Paul moved me into full time systems programming and Carl took my place as programming manager. Carl was a very good manager and eventually moved up to Assistant Director and later became the Director of Computing Services so I was again working for a former subordinate. Carl and I are both 66 years old and we work great together. Four younger programmer/analysts have retired in recent years and have not been replaced. Carl and I are holding things together until we migrate off the mainframe to a new Student Information System in 2010 or 2011. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" --

Re: RXSSL / Charlotte Problem
Thanks to Rick Barlow, Dave Jones and Peter Webb for sending me their RXSSL VMARC and SSL VMARC.

Then things seem to correct themselves and normal FTP continues. When I do a command line FTP to the failed user it works.

Re: VMFTP Return Code -5
The return code -5 is does NOT always happen on a disk full condition. I have an exec FTP2HOME that does 450+ FTPs to users' homes drives. It creates a VMFTP macro on a VDISK and then invokes VMFTP to exec it. The FTP2HOME EXEC creates and runs 384 macros before it gets a -5 RC. There were numerous -5 RCs after that one. I discovered from logs that the -5 occurred often after the first one occurred, always far along in the process. I did the same FTP commands manually on the user who first got the -5. It worked! Then I ran all of the remaining macros with VMFTP and there were no more -5 RCs. I run this process at 3:00 am every day with essentially the same files (class lists for faculty) and this morning there were NO -5 RCs. However I did receive some RC=550 indicating no space. Could it be a storage corruption problem? It seems that whatever causes the first -5 continues to do so. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" --

Re: VMFTP Return Code -5
I have found the reason for the return code -5. Although it is supposed to mean 'subcommand syntax error' that is not my case. The problem is that there is not enough space on the target. I'm doing the ftp to a network drive which has a limit of 30 MB for each user. The user in question has used his full 30 MB. When I use the VMFTP macro I get a return code -5. But when I type the commands in CMS one at a time I get a return code on the PUT of 550 which means there is not enough space. So there must be a problem with VMFTP. BTW, I tried MKDIR TEST in a VMFTP macro for this same user and VMFTP gave me the correct response that there is not enough room on the disk. /Fran --- Here is the console log: ftp 10.1.72.40 VM TCP/IP FTP Level 3A0 Connecting to 10.1.xx.xx, port 21 220 Microsoft FTP Service USER (identify yourself to the host): srunet\x >>>USER srunet\x 331 Password required for srunet\x.

HELP VMFTP shows that return code -5 indicates a "subcommand syntax error". Most of the time this exact statement works. If you see a syntax error then please point it out.

Re: VMFTP Return Code -5
I should have investigated this further before bothering the list. I looked at the source for VMFTP and it return -5 on subcommand syntax error I run the VMFTP with the ECHO ALL option and I can not see a syntax error. And the -5 is always on the PUT command. /Fran On Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:05:23 EDT Fran Hensler said: >I run a VMFTP macro frequently and 99% of the time it works >perfectly.

VMFTP Return Code -5
I run a VMFTP macro frequently and 99% of the time it works perfectly. But once in a while I will get a return code of -5 after the PUT fn1 fn2 Has anyone else experienced this? I think it is CMS that is issuing this negative RC but I can't find a list of CMS return codes. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" --
Re: Tell vs. Msg ?
CP MSG always delivers the message in upper case. An exception is using a pipe in an EXEC PIPE CP MSG user 'Hello World!' Tell is a CMS EXEC that uses CP MSG under the covers. It always delivers the message in the case in which it was invoked. So you can use CP MSG in machines that aren't running CMS like RSCS, GCS, VSE and I suppose z/OS. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" -- On Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:11:36 -0700 Lionel B.

Dave Jones' SFB VMARC is now on my download page at http://zvm.sru.edu/~download or http://zvm.sru.edu/~download/SFB.VMARC As Dave says in his DOC: The normal distribution is for z/VM 5.1 5.2 and 5.3 I haven't been able to get it to work in z/VM 3.1 . Note that the download may be slow because this is the beginning of the semester and students are fiercely dropping and adding courses. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" -- On Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:22:32 -0500 Dave Jones said: >Gang, I've just sent it off to Fran to be included on his VM download web page. >He'll post a note here when it's ready to go.

Re: Shutdown wont complete.. What next..
Can you tell if anything is still running? If so, can you shutdown that task? Is the OPERATOR terminal still usuable? If not then I would assume that the system is dead. I'd power down and then start up from scratch. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" -- On Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:08:24 + Suleiman Shahin said: > >Greetings Listers, > >The operator her did Shutdown reipl 90 minutes ago and the last message was >SYSTEM SHUTDOWN STARTED.. > >What can be done to bring system back up. > >zVM 5.3 on 2096. > >Thanks. > >Suleiman Shahin > > > > >_ >Get ideas on sharing photos from people like you.
