5 Byte Device Addresses?

2012-02-14 Thread Dan D
I'm wondering when 5 byte UCBs came into service and where this data comes from. UCBCHAN in a z/OS 1.12 and 13 system's MODGEN still shows as 2 bytes. How do you get 5 hex characters represented out of 2 bytes? D IPLINFO IEE254I 18.36.23 IPLINFO DISPLAY SYSTEM IPLED AT 17.34.39 ON 01/10/2012 RELE

Walt, Yes, normally "DIALOG;4" would bypass the 1st panel and pass "4" as it's ZCMD value. The difference between that and the NONDISPL panel is that if the ";4" was not specified the panel would be displayed. The NONDISPL panel will NEVER be seen by the user thus the next segment of the sta

Walt, I have an ISPF dialog that needs site specific information. What the data is doesn't really matter, but it is not available in a control block and I do not want to maintain it in each users's ISPF profile. My example below it just that, an example, not really the data to be passed. R

Maybe I'm missing something. You could take that 1 byte from the IXCQUERY and unpack convert it to a 2 byte decimal number to generate a unique console name. ie. x'01' to identify CONSOL01. This way you have the ability to uniquely identify 100 consoles. You could also expand this to convert
