I would give them an Excel template (.XLT) with all the necessary headings formats in and ask them (nicely) to import the CSV data into it rather than just opening it with Excel. The template could also hold any fancy formulae etc. they want to use on the data. Regards, Peter Borton

RACF 5.4 install

Hi We are installing a new z/VM 5.4 and along with this RACF. We are converting from z/VM 5.3. We want to copy the 5.3 RACF Data base over to the 5.4 system what is the best way of doing this. I know I will need to run the 5.4 templates but I would like to carry over my existing 5.3

Just leave RCAFVM's 200 and 300 on the disks where they are now (and adapt the the MDISKs in the z/VM 5.4 directory accordingly. Or, use DDR to copy the old 200 and 300 to the new ones (you do that when you are sure RACF is not updating its databases, and the day you switch to the 5.4 ). Nothing

We have Luminex vtape. The Luminex code provides tape support emulating IBM 3590 drives with the actual hardware being on Sun dasd. Everything seems to work with the exception of SPXTAPE. Does anyone else have Luminex vtape? Has anyone found anything that does not work? Jim -- James

That is what I have been providing for them. It makes no difference whether the file is banana.txt or banana.csv, it will be opened properly by Excel. As much as I dislike dealing with XML in general, the XML suggestion is probably the best one so far. That would let you generate both data

It doesn't surprise me that it cannot support SPXTAPE. Since SPXTAPE is a CP command, the emulation must be complete, exact, and transparent to CP. It took some effort on the part of VSSI before they could support it on emulated tape drives provided by the very first tape emulation product that
