Re: COBANAL new beta version

Being inside IBM (Niederland) I have no access to production code to help out but I could use your expert advice. I am looking at a project that will require the mapping of PLI load modules. I am searching for long lost CSECTs of a sunsetted product. Any tips on dissecting LMODs? Danke

Re: Question about SVC 109

Sorry I'm late to the game, folks! File CBT531 contains a Rexx, SVCSRCH, that displays the first 160 bytes in hex for any/all SVCs. When it encounters an ESR SVC in also displays the table. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff /

Re: What can you do on the PC that is like M/F Sysmgt

The APIs are there. Were you expecting an OOTB MIB-II agent application? Ooo! A product idea, perhaps? Uhh, too many non-critical PCs for a Unicenter or Tivoli to manage, one would think. A mid-tier aggregation is probably called for.

Re: Have you ever abended IDCAMS?

Could the modal commands (IF-THE-ELSE; DO-END; SET MAXCC/LASTCC; CANCEL) be of any use? IIRC the max CC from IDCAMS is 16. Testing the RC in the JCL for some strange value (an odd integer?) could then bypass steps of flush the JOB.

What does SMFPRMxx look like? Is the USI specified for SUBSYS(STC,...)? The 'OOBE' is not to have the USI driven for STCs. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with

Cell pool traversal and IGVxxx macros

CPOOLing is great to get 'stuff' into fixed length buffers. How about the retrieval operation? 'Data Areas' maps the PXT and PPD with VSM (IGV-prefixed) macros. But even the cell pool callable services (CSRx) do not have a mechanism AFAICS. 1. Where do the macros reside? Surely not

Re: Cell pool traversal and IGVxxx macros

Arrgh! There is a system-maintained map in the SPD so any other tree structure is redundant. And with a bit of RR math one gets the pointer array details. Just looking for a leg-up here. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff /
