The VM console logs contain this information. You not only need the logon
times but also logoff, it is the logoff requirement that made my customer
could not use RACF's SMF records and we had to revert to scanning the
console logs.

I am not really a VM person, so I am asking for help a bit .
Does anyone have a Rexx proc that will take a list of disks as input and back
them up to one tape . We just became the proud owners of 3590 drives. Before it
was at least two tapes per disk. (yes we took a few boxes of tapes to do

I hate to nitpick (okay, I enjoy it actually) but that is in no way a rexx
proc. That's written in EXEC2, the language Rexx was designed to replace.

Perhaps company size isn't as much of a factor as the role of I.T. within
the company. If your business is I.T. or your product is created, stored
and delivered via computer, you ARE a big company from an I.T perspective.
Ideally the technical and operations groups are separate, and report to

perfect, in fact I have some more work to do to make it 'pretty' and more
error-catching. Unfortuately I don't have the restore exec.

We are a small shop and NOT structured this way, but it is something
that I have wondered about and it seems to make sense to me. On any
given day, I work and interact with the Operations staff more than
the application folks. Sounds like a good idea.

RACF doesn't write an SMF record at LOGOFF time. The console log
gives not only the terminal and userid, but also the LOGONBY user.

Most of the shops(all have been VM/VSE) I have worked at in my 30 year
career have had the Operations area and Systems programming area
separate reporting areas. When I first started here at the school it was
the operations staff reported to the systems programming area. Six
months later we are
A suggestion: In place of the DDR on the S disk, use CMSDDR
(downloadable from the VM Download library at www.vm.ibm.com/download),
and dump the volumes to a CMS file with a meaningful name (like vaddr
date). Then you can use TAPE DUMP or MOVEFILE to move the files to
tape (also gives you SL

Hmm. Given that the 093C43C3 is effectively a decimal-to-hex
representation of a 4 octet IPv4 address, have you folks given it any
thought about what to do with IPv6 addresses?
This methodology can give you a scanable tape but it does increase your
i/o load and elapsed time quite a bit. If you have enough spare DASD,
you could do all of your production backups to DASD during your backup
window and then move the CMS files to tape after your backup window. But

It's manageable if you can put the scratch disk out of the line of

Gee, I have a copy of that exec, with a 1983 date on it. The
reference to MFC's birthday is a comment in my version:
/* if m d=2*2*2 3*3*3 then do; say It's Mike Cowlishaw's Birthday!
say;end */
The comment at the top says:
/* Type/push today's date and moon phase in English */

I agree with Catherine's comments on organizational structure. However, in
a past employer a change was made, not in reporting structure, but rather in
terms of functional responsibilities, a change that blew our minds.
As in your case, we had Operators and System Programmers. Sys Progs

I actually have enough dasd to copy all my disks (45 3390 m3) that takes

They have a z/Linux guest that's acting as an SNA gateway for some VSE

traffic, and a real OSA for outgoing SNA (to the VSE guest(s) -- not sure

The parenthesis aren't needed either, but it shows how Rexx evaluates

The statement if m d=2*2*2 3*3*3 then do; works because multiplication
is higher priority than concatenation which in turn is higher than
comparison. And, of course, multiple blanks between two expressions evaluate
as concatenation with a single blank between.
Order of precedence in REXX is:
