It's worth pointing out that so-called "clear key" encryption is what every other standard server does with the keys. Except on a mainframe you have key-protected memory (and accelerators), so it's a lot harder for another task to grab that key. I'd prefer a different term for "clear key" on

Re: [Rexx on z/Os]Point to particular member of PDS

Hi Mr Charles, many thanks again. I suppose that something near the assembler is de facto the only way to do this. If your tool is too complex is, for me, enough a good advice that will direct me on the right way. My actual idea, that can be wrong, is to reach two target: 1) find a way to list pds

Re: ADR793E - VTOC and VVDS do not match?

I believe he has managed to place a non-SMS dataset on an SMS managed volume. I wonder if the ADRDSSU CONVERTV command would fix him up. Since it is a SMP/E SMPLTS file, he would be safe in deleting it and allocate a new one. On Wed, 18 Jan 2006 08:19:27 -0800, Ulrich Krueger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: SSP in PL/I or Fortran

Some info for your consideration: 1. I think I have found a copy of the Fortran version of this tape. 2. The tape is from the old Contributed Program Library 3. The date in the data on the tape is 1-16-73. 4. I *think* that I also have at least one of the manuals that goes with the tape, but need

Re: [Rexx on z/Os]Point to particular member of PDS

If you specify the dataset name in your JCL and you know the DDNAME, you can use the LM (Library Access) functions of ISPF to dynamically retrieve member names The sequence would be something like LMINIT, LMOPEN, LMFIND or LMMLIST and LMFREE "Marco Gianfranco Indaco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote i

Re: How SMFDUMP works?

Hi Don, We currently exclude type 69 but I browsed the APARs to see if there was anything new and surprise... COMMENTS: The MVS Allocation and SMF components have agreed to accept this situation as a SUGgestion to be implemented through future development. The solution to this APA

Re: [Rexx on z/Os]Point to particular member of PDS

Is an assembler "helper" an acceptable option? I suspect many people have written "Rexx-helpers" for PDSes in assembler and some might be willing to share it with you. Such subroutines would normally be "pure MVS" and independent of TSO. I've written one but it is too complex - has too much specia

Decoding IEANUC01 modules

I'm trying to find and zap a constant in IEANUC01(IEAANIP0) on OS/360. To do so, I need to understand how scatter format modules are laid out on disk. Anyone know where I can find out how that's structured? I'm trying to avoid reassembling and relinking the entire MVT nucleus. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC

Re: [Rexx on z/Os]Point to particular member of PDS

Hi Brendan, thanks for your reply but: neither LISTDS or OUTTRAP are internal function of Rexx(or MVS). LISTDS is a tso command OUTTRAP is an external function that run only in the TSO/E address space. So I can't use them running out of TSO. Appreciate your idea but.. I can't. Regards 2006/1/18

Re: [Rexx on z/Os]Point to particular member of PDS

One thing you can do which is incredibly easy is to set an OUTTRAP. Then do a LISTDS to get the members of the PDS into a stem variable. Then you can step through the stem variable and process one PDS member at a time. HTH, Brendan ---

Re: "IF" statements in JCL

There used to be a nice article at http://www.objectz.com/cobolreport/archives/TCR_jcl.htm which talked about the AVGREC parameter and IF-THEN-ELSE-ENDIF Condition Code processing. I printed a copy of it, but it appears to be gone. Googling, I found http://www.dsios.dsio.dla.mil/library/techf
