Re: Wishing for a JCL based PARMLIB Concatenation search

2006-03-15 Thread Julian Levens
Joshua I've solved this locally by arranging for the first PROC in my startup (well before JES2) to run an IEBCOPY which copies all the parms in the appropriate concatenation into a single PDSE as follows: //LPARM PROC //LPARM EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY,TIME=10 //P1DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CAP.&SYSLIB1.

Re: DLLs and STEPLIBs

2006-02-07 Thread Julian Levens
As has been suggested earlier, you can place DLLs into PDSEs - I have done this. There may be structural differences, one DLL becomes one PDSE containing many seperate program objects (one PDSE = one DLL). I have never created DLLs under USS, so I do not know exactly how they are organised here exc

Hmmm In the past when managing COBOL build options and Xpediter. We decided not to optimise at all. We were not having performance problems (any we did were to do with DB2/SQL within the programs), hence optimisation was deemed unnecessary. This decision made code management much easier and allowe

Dave We had one fail and we simply asked IBM to replace it - about 3k GBP (thats inc labour) as I recall. The drive itself is basically a fairly standard SCSI drive encased in some IBM specific stuff. Its also part of a RAID array and I believe the replacment needs to match the others in the array

Port to z/OS or OMVS?

All I need to port our latest piece of software to the mainframe. The software runs as a server using TCP/IP on Linux/Unix/Windows already. Therefore, porting to USS should be fairly painless. What pros and cons would there be porting this server to native z/OS? + Better performance? + Woul

I quickly tested a little program. say \1 say ^1 say ?1 On my set-up the first two returned 0 and the last one failed (invalid char in prog). However, in your case the second one failed. This is related to translation and codepage issues. Therefore, I have in recent times been in the habit of us
