Re: Converting SAS C to IBM C

Clark: Have you looked at Dignus (http://www.dignus.com/) ? It really makes things much easier. Harry P.S. I use Dignus for my mainframe C/C++ work, but have no affiliation with them. > Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 10:05:26 -0400 > From: clark.k...@asg.com > Subject: Converting SAS C to IBM C

Re: Multiprise 3000 - fatal SE problems - help please!

Mike, Here is my opinion in the form of a WAG (Wild Ass Guess): You're barking up the wrong tree. Based on what you describe, your software is fine; the SBC that runs OS/2 is running; your CPC is working; so I don't think this is an SE issue at all. You don't need an activation profil

Re: port from z/OS to z/VSE

Steve, You should try to contact Jerry McCarthy at QMSI (je...@cmpg.com). He wrote some amazing code that uses z/OS like PC calls on z/VSE. He coded the internals of QMSI's postal software (CASS software, a replacement for Group I's mainframe) to run on z/OS or z/VSE and it uses PC calls. Init

Re: IBM Software Secure Support via USA Citizens

I think this is being misconstrued. There are caveats in the Stimulus Package (3.4 trillion dollars of spending) requiring that the money not be granted to projects not using resources in the United States. This is fair considering that the money is being spent to stimulate the American econom

Re: Crazy VSAM question

John, I don’t know the details of your situation so I’m just tossing out ideas here: If the AIX doesn’t have to be upgradable, build the alternate index manually, excluding from the AIX any alternate index entries with low values keys. Depending upon your application, this may even work with an

Re: Old discussion about Windows running on a mainframe ( I brought up)

Platform Solutions, Inc. had this technology and much more. Their technology is now IBM's. Many people accuse IBM of acquiring PSI to stifle competition, but this is a great disservice to the engineers at PSI, particularly former Amdahl engineers, who are now bound to silence by NDAs. ht

Re: Virtual Storage implementation

Virtual is one of those overused technical words like interface. For a language with so many words with such subtle meanings, English speakers really do have the lingual facilities to do better than to constantly reuse the same word for different innovations. That notwithstanding, with so many
