From looking at the Java code it seems to be the same infrastructure
used in the IBM Dependency Based Build product.

So if it's running on zIIP does that mean it's a Java solution or are
you doing some tricky magic?

There is an install script that installs into PDS data sets. From a

I agree! Why would anybody want to use a data-space now we have 64-bit

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

to use if you expect it to be just like using LE C.

Joseph,
Couple of things I would comment on. First, don't use macros instead of
functions. It's an anti-pattern unless you need to generate code. If you
want to inline code for efficiency reasons then just use "static inline"
in a header file.
Secondly, I would take a look at how this is
obably time for RTFM, which begs the question of which FM to R.
Thanks again in advance for any elaboration while I try to find the answer,
Peter

Hi Billy,
Permanent ISPF tables reside in a PDS data set which will have to be
sized appropriately. If the ISPF table is keyed then you have big
problems. ISPF tables are basically just linked lists and not dictionaries,
so if they are keyed I would advise you to use VSAM.
