I am also trying to find any documentation that describes this issue. The lpar that we are setting up will eventually be shared with a 2nd lpar with a similar configuration. If I cannot share the OSA I may have a problem. Can someone, maybe IBM, describe in more detail what can or cannot be done

Re: CPU usage -- virtual or dedicated ?

2007-03-26 Thread Schuh, Richard
As noted by the entire universe, that is true. Our VM LPAR normally has 5 shared cpus. The normal TPF guest has no more than 3 virtual cpus. If special functional tests are being run, a user may go higher than 5. This requires our complicity as we have to update the directory to allow it, and there

RSCS: LPR page size

I am sending files via RSCS to be printed on an LPR link, without any carriage control. The link is defined with EXIT=LPRXONE. The printed output (on portrait mode paper) is only 60 lines per page. How can I control the page size (in lines) of an LPR link? I would like to increase it conside

Hi Shimon, If you are printing from CMS to a printer on RSCS (LPR or otherwise) and the CMS file doesn't contain carriage control, isn't CMS the one that is breaking it up into 60 line pieces? You would have to tell CMS it has an 80 line (or whatever) printer when it formats its output. On 3/26/

Anne, We use z/OS 1.8 in one LPAR to create our IOCDS/IODF files. We also have two LPARs running z/VM (5.1 and 5.2). The z/VM LPARs have no problem coexisting with the z/OS produced configuration files. Of note, the z/VM LPARs seldom have their configurations changed. But, bottom line, there ar

From what's been written, I presume that the carriage control that VSE uses would be preserved if it existed. Using // STDOPT LINES= is a way to influence VSE's production of carriage control characters. However, printouts can be produced in VSE in two different ways - via SYSLST (system log
