This has become interesting. There are three people (that I've actually
met) outside IBM (well another seems to have exited recently) whose
opinion I really respect in these levels that are really far outside my
current abilities.
When two of them argue, I pay attention. Both Shane and Ed's positi

Hello Kevin,
We are required to have LOGON REQUIRED on all consoles, including SYSCONS.
(HMC Operating System Messages).
This allows us to IPL and reply to messages until RACF starts up and locks
up the console until you sign in.but, tragically, there is no LOGON
command available via SYSCO

Ed,
Not matter how simple it sounds to hang a CADS on *MASTER*'s back like some
sort of "KICK ME" sign - if it was up to me to design the software I would
endevour to find a less intrusive method (like a CADS-owning STC).
Accessing the CADS afterwards would typically require storing the ALET

Martin,
A couple of reasons spring to mind :
(1) Short path length to perform instructions to access data in CADS (load the
ALET into ARx, init Rx, SAC 512). If you are in a system exit and your purpose
is to intercept and store certain information, you need to do this as quickly
as possible a
Is there a way of cross-referencing hardware ECs or MCLs to z/OS
software versions or PTFs required to successfully run after
installation of such hardware changes?

Turn on a trace sometime and watch how many SRBs are scheduled into

Scheduling an SRB into the Master sure seem to be a touchy subject, I have two
observations/comments.
First, since the SRB is a unit of work that is independent of any existing

Depending on your application, 64-bit shared memory may not be a viable
replacement for CADS. 64-bit shared memory objects:

Region cap is a up-limit for low private subpools and high private subpools
not restriced by it.
Of course, low private and high private cannot meet in the middle.
