I am starting to write IPCS format models for a number of our internal
control blocks, but I am having problems with one of them. For one of
the
models, I always get just the first 4 bytes (the eyecatcher) formatted,
followed by message Control

I've written some routines (in assembler) to access IPCS dump data using
the
IPCS Customization Services. I had written the same routines before in
REXX, but slowness of REXX made the pain too great to bear any more.
So,
now I am a happy camper

can you say dumprx

very early, when it was still rex ... and long before it was released as
a product ... I wanted to do a demonstration that rex was more than just
another command scripting

The first 5 lines that come out in my print file are empty (all blank).
I've read further after your reply but it's not apparent which service I
can
use to cause ANY title lines (mine - not that I've defined any, or IPCS's
title lines) to come out.

We are using an Assembler program to analyse SMF output records
of CICS transactions.
The timestamps in the CICS SMF records are in TOD format.
In order to get a readable timestamp we are using the STKCONV

Sorry I forgot how to change the profile in ISPF ... the part where
I can change PF key meanings like retrieve etc.
Do two things:
1. Get into the application where you want to see/alter the definitions of
the program function keys. Each
and DCB attributes set to RECFM=FBS, LRECL=4140, and
BLKSIZE=4160.

I was wondering if anyone has used the ADPLSMAP IPCS service routine to
map
a dataspace?
Any code samples would be welcome.
Can you expand on the phrase map a dataspace? In my mind I'm hearing it
meaning the following:
1. Somehow you or your program

I'm in IPCS looking at DAE data. I want to know what the * next to the

it, but I can't figure out how to advance to the next page. I've tried
everything I could think of

Several comments on this:
First to Bob - thanks for the explanation. That explains why I get three
responses when I ask ip w for the cvtexit address. (Or why IPCS tells me
that an ASCB address is an ASCB.)
Shane, I don't think that IBM is

Some have suggested that we add an option to WHERE,
filtering based on data type. The most common filter that has been
proposed is a MODULE data type filter. It would be interesting to hear
opinions on this suggestion from regular IBM-MAIN

Now Bob, about some decent IPCS support for those GFS traces ...
Other than generic support in service aids components, I think that all GFS
trace data collection and formatting support is shipped via the VSM
component. Did you have something in mind that

If WHERE uses TPUT directly then you can still capture the output if
you run under Session Manager. You'll need a special logon proc.
Apologies for not being clearer in my previous response. I should not have
used level and service

You're one level of service off. WHERE and the rest of line mode IPCS use
TSO I/O service routines
