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 vielm

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 / a

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. --

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. --

Cell pool traversal and IGVxxx macros

2005-08-16 Thread Capomaestro
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 SYS1.PVTMA

Had the recent opportunity to code some dual-mode (CICS & batch) assembler. After searching the LISTSERVs the DFHAFCD macro (.SDFHMACS) revealed itself. The code did not contained CICS EXEC statements and therefore did not require preprocessing. Upon entry under CICS the registers point into La-la

Au contraire, the DFHEAI stub is *required* to be the first CSECT in the module. CICS 'interrogates' modules for it's I-catcher to determine if it is command level or not. Use the linkage editor NAME statement to point to your favourite entry point (omitted, admittedly but we're all adults here).

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 / arc
