Re: z/OSMF and Zowe

Thanks, Brian and Matt. Perhaps the fact that you can get Zowe directly from IBM will help mitigate the prejudice against open source! Robin -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Brian Westerman Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2023 12:27 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LIS

Re: SORT INCLUDE problem

Hello Kolusu, Thank you very much for your help. I was not quite happy with the solution that I had come up with, as I was reading the input file twice and that bothered me because that is not an efficient solution. You latest solution is much simpler and efficient. And much more elegant as well.

Re: z/OSMF and Zowe

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 a

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 3
