FTP to the MF is completely different than FTP from the mainframe. Two different ID's, keyrings*, parms, etc. He who speaks first is the client. He who listens then obeys is the server. *Key rings can be shared, so that may not be completely true in every situation. No idea of the risk/benefit

I don't recall this ever happening. In order to allocate storage out of CSA/ECSA the program has to be running authorized. Malloc() gets storage from private area subpools, in the key of the TCB that created the memory pool (usually key 8). Wayne Driscoll Product Developer NOTE: All opinions ar

How about: 1) Check all I/O statements for correct execution (COBOL FILE STATUS). This includes OPEN and CLOSE. If the file is a VSAM file, then be sure to put the VSAM FILE STATUS in any messages in addition to the normal FILE STATUS. This can be a life saver. As an example, we had a normal FILE
