Hi,
Is anyone can provide a vm rexx to auto logoff if someone does not enter any
key for 10 minutes.
Please give us source code and how to apply.

Do you mean a REXX EXEC, to run in a user virtual machine, that will
monitor all console input and if there is no input for 10 minutes, issue
the CP LOGOFF command?

You can do REXX say statements to display a message before the Pipe.
You can't feed anything into that cons stage because it

There is XMLPARSE on the VM download page. It's a pipeline filter

with it but never used it for anything significant.

Hi, Tom.
There are a couple of good packages available that should be of some interest
to you.
The first one is the XMLPARSE package by Jonathan Scott (IBM Hursley, UK) that
reads an
XML document and converts it to a tree structure stored in a REXX stem. The

Dear all,
Some questions on Dirmaint:

for example the owner has still linked to it, the transaction gets pending
and at some time DATAMOVE machine is retrying the operation. Is there a
command to resume the operation
There was an IBM PRPQ called RESLIM that did something like this in the
distant past, but I don't think it was brought forward into the z/VM
era. You could probably do this with Performance Toolkit (I think it has
the idle session monitor information; I'd have to look it up), but there
may be a
DIRMAINT's WORKUNIT command can be used for an immediate retry. The
problem is that it is hard to know what workunit ID to enter on the
command. But, I weren't Sir Kris The Guide if I did't provide a

If you know the workunit number that failed, then this will retry it:

If you don't know the workunit number, DIRM DATAMOVE DISPLAY ERRLOG
will send you a file with the number in it.
I don't understand your question about reserved.. Does the disk
appear in EXTENT
I forgot the second question. Indeed DIRMAINT refuses to move a
RESERVED minidisk. Such a minidisk is special, one cannot move the
singe file on it using COPYFILE. A RESERVED minidisk has a somewhat
special format: the records of the single file on the minidisk will
never move around, this
Kris,
Thanks for this excellent explanateion.
However it seems quite unsatisfactory. Would it worth to place a FITS
request to extend this functionality? I think DDR should be used from
DIRMAINT. It is quite cumbersom to do it manually and that is why I have
Dirmaint.

This is as good a free beer, without the morning after G.
I installed XMLPARSE and tried a sample XML document with the results piped to
the console. That looks like what I really wanted.
I'd say IBM should pre-install the DFSMS code. Then DIRMAINT could
always use it when possible:
(it must be a CMS formatted minidisk, source and target need to have
same blocksize, and target needs to be at least as big as te source).
And yes, for some other cases, DDR could be used too.

The return string is used to send a message back to the client when the

FTP is more complex as you need a method of inputting multiple lines. That
