Re: End of several eras

I had worked on PC's and Computervision graphic machines prior to 1983, and everything there was already OCO I think, so I didn't know any better when IBM went OCO. I rarely looked at the fiche, but it was really interesting to see PL/X (I think it was called) compiled into assembler code. I

Re: End of several eras

I agree, I can't possibly convey how much I learned from some old IBM fiche that I had access to in the computer center when I just started college. The first really important thing I wrote (I was 17) were mods to pass the condition codes from step to step within JES2 and then send the highest

Re: End of several eras

Hi Tom, 1983, eh? The same year as the (expletive deleted) OCO policy. I've seen IBM-lifers defend it on this forum, yet, it still did not/does not make sense. Regards, David On 2022-10-31 19:31, Tom Brennan wrote: I get it... I just heard from an old co-worker that sometime this month they s

Re: End of several eras

I get it... I just heard from an old co-worker that sometime this month they shut down the mainframe in Southern California that I worked on from 1983 to 2013. That was my first exposure to an IBM mainframe, and I think XA had just come out and people were busy fixing programs to work in AMODE

End of several eras

I just shutdown our z/OS 2.3 system(s) for the last time. When I came to school in 1976, the computer was described as "loosely coupled 370s". My exposure was via remote cardreader/printer. When I started working here in 1981, there were still folks that had rewired boards for what they had befo

Re: SYSTEM REXX use

System Rexx is quite useful. I used it to replace CA-7 and CA-OPS when we dropped our CA licenses last year. Granted, we where on the path towards today's final shutdown and our automation needs where diminishing. > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On > Behalf Of

Dynamic LPA Services

Hello . Regarding CSVDYLPA REQUEST=ADD . The documentation states: .Modules added to the system via dynamic LPA processing are placed into CSA or ECSA storage. . Further more It is expected that the caller will free the work area, using either FREEMAIN or STORAGE RELEASE, after processing it. . D

Re: SYSTEM REXX use

System Rexx runs Rexx programs in an isolated, **APF authorized** environment, so the only way to run a Rexx program under the AXR task is to use an operator MODIFY command to the AXR service to tell it to run your Rexx in that address space. This reference explains what System Rexx really is:

Re: SYSTEM REXX use

Dunno what AXR is, but you can write a REXX program and put it in the same library as one of your CLISTs, then run it the same way. I've used REXX to automate operations in IOF, SDSF, TSS, RACF, ACF2, FTP, ISPF, DYL-280II, DB2 and QMF, and no doubt a bunch of things I can't remember just now. I

SYSTEM REXX use

Hello; I am looking at the capabilities of SYSTEM REXX on a Z/OS system. I am not familiar with how to invoke it and so forth. Can functions be called from a TSO REXX environment, and, if so, how do I establish a connection to AXR? Kenneth J. Kripke k.kri...@comcast.net

Re: Crypto Express question

The answer is that it depends. If you have a crypto express, you can use it as a clear key RSA accelerator (as mentioned by some folks already) without any consideration of master keys. You can use it as a coprocessor without master keys for a small subset of functions (random number generation
