Re: IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.1 supports the continuous delivery model for new features

The big advantage of 64 bit on the mainframe is the elimination of paging. Using hundreds of address spaces that are potentially 1-2 GB each spread over 32GB or more instead of paging in and out with much smaller amount of memory. On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 3:01 AM, Bill Woodger wrote: > Decimal fl

Re: thoughts on z/OS ftp server enhancement.

What you have to do is take the file layout and code SORT or IEBGENER control cards. They will copy the EBCDIC text fields as is and expand the packed and binary numbers to EBCDIC digits. Then you can FTP the resulting EBCDIC text only file. In some cases you might want to put in quotes and comm

Re: thoughts on z/OS ftp server enhancement.

How about doing a portion of the dataset, FTP the result, delete the intermediate file. Repeat for each segment. I. E. last 1 or 2 digits of an account number, etc. Using the high order digits could lead to some groups being pretty large, I.E. SS#s. Or X number of records. 2nd run skip X, proce

The z13 is the LAST processor to support 31 bit mode. I would assume that for the z14 all interrupt areas will be 64 bit capable. On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 7:09 PM, John McKown wrote: > On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 6:13 PM, Paul Gilmartin < > 000433f07816-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > >>

Re: 64 bit execution above the bar

I believe z/OS Java 64 has reserved the 2GB -4GB+ bar for itself, uses a 32 bit address stub that is shifted 3 bits to the left before use, making every allocation a 8 byte unit and a size limit of 32GB. Option is -Xcompressedrefs. On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 10:59 AM, Paul Gilmartin <000433f07816
