Re: When did the IPCS follow 64 bit pointer character change?

Also check the terminal type in the ISPF settings. I usually recommend option 3 (3278). Things like option 5 (3290A) start sending graphic escape characters for things like ] and can be confusing. Not sure how this would relate to ! though. But maybe it's worth a quick look. On 9/20/2023

Hi I decided to use the CIRB macro so that way I could build my own IRB The problem seems to be the AMODE of my RBOPSW is 24 so the high order byte of my rbepa gets chopped off So here is my IRB entry from SDUMP IRB: 008AC7A8 KEYSTA...

We have a rescue system that we just brought up on z/OS 2.5.   I couldn't access SDSF so I defined the appropriate groups, modified ISFPRMxx and restarted SDSF, logged off and back on.  I could then get into SDSF.  I could NOT access ANY output whatsoever.  I kept getting NO DISPLAYABLE DATA.

JCL symbols used to define other JCL symbols [was: RE: Is SMP/E needed for installs?]

I believe that statement in the JCL Reference is in error and needs to be deleted or at the very least completely rewritten. My quite substantial experience using this technique over the last 10-15 years is that using JCL symbols as part of the definition of other JCL symbols works flawlessly

I think that it comes down to provenance (is where it came from trusted) as well as a need for support when something goes wrong. The community support is best effort with no warranties. Other vendors like IBM, Rocket and Broadcom are now pre-requing the Zowe and as such they provide support
