I have been getting S0C4 on initialization to my Metal C program Once again, you have not provided enough information for most of the readers of your post to help you. Not every "Prolog code of Metal C program" has such a store of register 0. This is easily demonstrated. Thus perhaps you in s

I have code on windows that I use to display assembler listing. I down load the SYSADATA and have a DLL that does reads and does various other functions. Since I have a need for the same functionality on z/os I figured I would use the same code. I knew there would be differences but I figured I co

Dean, I have to agree with Ken, have you actually looked at small replicated Virtual-Tape solutions on a price point? You say "The C07 is the controller..." - indicating you might only have one (or a second one for backup); which would then mean you probably only have 8 to 16 drives. While the

Dean, Sorry, I had been on vacation a good part of last week. With CA 1, the CTSSYNC utility has a "SYNCTEST" that basically does the same thing. It validates all three databases (the OAM/TCDB, CA 1's TMC, and the Library Managers database) against each other. If any 1 is out-of-sync with the o

I wrote a program -- robust enough to be part of a vendor product -- that read and processed assembler SYSADATA using LE-supported C++. I found no problems with "flexibility." I would be curious in what way you found it inflexible. As is my general approach with C++, I did alpha testing on MS Visu

I had the sysadata downloaded as binary And had the ebcdictoascii routine And as you are correct for the length and offset pointers I had a bigedcpy routine to copy it to a int to make sure it was aligned correctly In the mainframe I store sysadata in a dataspace and Metal seems perfectly

Well, I hear you. A dataspace seems like overkill. How much data do you have? My program runs 31-bit and keeps its data just in C++ "new" storage (GETMAIN storage, in the region) and I never heard of any issue, not even an x78 ABEND where the answer was "increase the region size." I suppose sup
