fwiw, I've been using ChatGPT and especially Monica to convert some DOS .BAT
programs to Python. I paste in the BAT file and ask it to convert it to Python.
It does a remarkable job generating "real" Python code--not just rewriting the
DOS statements one by one.
However, I'd guess it's been
Thank you Jeffrey for the XCFNOTE idea, Bob for mentioning IARVSERV, and
whoever mentioned Data tables.
I haven't quite comprehended it, but IARVSERV seems particularly interesting.
But if I'm catching on at all, it seems the storage shared would be private
storage? So the original issuer
Thanks for all of the information (and ranting!)
Peter's explanation was what I suspected. I mostly wondered if I was missing
something.
I appreciate the willingness of people on this list to share their expertise.

Hello Listers,
I'd like to be able to update a common storage area across all CICS and batch
regions. I've looked at IARV64 REQUEST=GETCOMMON, but it seems that it
requires supervisor state and/or key 0-7.
It seems that something like issuing a STORAGE macro similar to:

Adam & Tony--thanks for the good explanations.
From Tony's explanation concerning moving the TR command to the data area via
LOCTR, can I surmise that it might be counter-productive to do so--that leaving
the TR and EX commands in consecutive memory is more efficient?

I'm reluctant to admit this, but I'm still unclear about SIIS issues. Could
someone please explain what happens to the D- and I-cache in these situations?
Example 1:
TxtTRNull TR0(*-*,R14),NoNulls
EX R5,*-6
Example 2:
PgmConst LOCTR ,
TxtTRNull TR
Thanks Steve, Charles, Tony, Robin & especially "Retired".
The application is spread out across 6000+ modules, and some are out of
registers. Floating point would probably work, but I've never worked with them
either. I'm already using the high half of Reg2, and it appears to be working
evel.
I'd also need to keep the application compatible with z9 (OPCODE(ZS3)) or later
machines.
Can anyone tell me if such statements exist in OPCODE(ZS3)? I can't find them
if they are there.
TIA,
Wendell Lovewell
