Shared documents in Samba
Hello listers, We have an excel document in a zOS SMB drive that needs to be shared in write mode. Excel does support opening the document in shared mode, where multiple users can update the file at the same time (Tools - share workbook - allow multiple users). However, this can't be done when it's in a zOS SMB drive. When we open the document in our zOS SBM drive, we still get a message that the xls is locked. So we now moved the document into a windows shared drive. But it makes me wonder, can this be done in a SAMBA drive? And obviously, if so, how can we setup such a feature?

Re: Shared documents in Samba
Berry -- Last I knew, SMB service from z/OS was in fact just SAMBA. Given that there would have to be some churn between the latest and greatest SAMBA and what you have on z/OS, it would be an older and stabler version. You might find that a newer release of SAMBA solves your problem. A quick Google search for SAMBA and Excel did not teach me anything, but you may have better results if you are familiar with the keywords which fit this particular Excel function. I would be interested to know if z/OS SMB was actually not SAMBA under the covers. -- R; 2009/11/19 van Sleeuwen, Berry berry.vansleeu...@atosorigin.com: Hello listers, We have an excel document in a zOS SMB drive that needs to be shared in write mode.

Re: Shared documents in Samba
The zOS port of Samba is ancient enough to not support byte-range locking, which modern versions of MS Office use to implement shared write. Your best bet if you want it on Z is a Linux guest with a modern Samba.

Re: assembler and LINUX
There are books on Linux assembler programming, for example: Linux Assembly Language Programming by Bob Nevlen. However this book and similar ones assume you're on x86. So you need to adapt what you're reading. Having said that, most assembly code is written by dropping into in-line assembler in gcc c-code - and I warn you the syntax is taxing. Info gcc will get you going. Another possibility is to use nasm (or yasm) - now I'm not sure whether this is ported to s390. It's certainly a native assembler for x86 and based in look and feel on MS masm. And don't forget gas - the gnu assembler. All of these suggestions are based on my experience with x86 assembler programming. For s/390 I don't assemble under Linux. I use HLASM under CMS. The may be other preferred tools for native Linux 390 assembly programming.

Re: assembler and LINUX
1) Avoid assembler. Assembler is rarely used in Linux for anything other than low-level kernel and device driver development. Use C wherever possible -- it makes your applications the most portable. 2) Read The Unix Programming Environment by Kernigan and Plauger. It will help you understand the basic development environment that is ubiquitous in the Unix/Linux world. 3) Find an old PC and install the distribution you want to use on it. Use that to experiment with the environment. 4) Repeat 3 until happy. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

Thanks Gunter Email ghochrei...@tsys.com You can use Systems/ASM to generate Linux programs in HLASM-style syntax. Systems/ASM generates native ELF-format files with little-to-no-change in the HLASM syntax, allowing one to port z/OS programs to z/Linux. You can also debug those programs with the GNU debugger available on z/Linux. See http://www.dignus.com/dasm/ for more info.

Excel does support opening the document in shared mode, where multiple users can update the file at the same time (Tools - share workbook - allow multiple users). However, this can't be done when it's in a zOS SMB drive. When we open the document in our zOS SBM drive, we still get a message that the xls is locked. So we now moved the document into a windows shared drive. But it makes me wonder, can this be done in a SAMBA drive? And obviously, if so, how can we setup such a feature?

Re: assembler and LINUX
If you're very experienced in assembler, transitioning to c will be relatively painless. I'd much rather write in asm any day. C drives me mad. As for c++ that - shoot me now . I understand why old mainframe hacks would rather use asm. The instruction set is pretty high-level compared with many.

A quick Google search for SAMBA and Excel did not teach me anything, but you may have better results if you are familiar with the keywords which fit this particular Excel function. I would be interested to know if z/OS SMB was actually not SAMBA under the covers. When last I was an OS/390 user, there was a job running called lanserver which I assumed was ported from OS/2. I got involved because the folk near where I worked wanted to transfer data from Windows NT to OS/390 and filesharing, they said, was dog-slow. I didn't put that to the test, I just something else. The standard ftp client. Pushed the OS/390 ftpd over a couple of times before I found how to specify MVS filenames from the Windows client.
