I'm curious... Has anyone with real mainframe hardware (no
emulation) recently run REXXCPS that MFC wrote way back when?

If you've never seen REXXCPS, there's a link to it at the

If these are the result of multiple links, I would think the link
names would be different. This is a long shot, but is it possible
that this TCP/IP stopped unexpectedly at some point in time and
was restarted without an IPL or Logoff/Logon?

I have found in the past that dividing the REXX CPS number by 1800 gives an
approximation(!) of the general MIPS rating.
Those of you with access to various systems might want to see if this comes
anywhere to close for your system. This would make the system below
(2622295 CPS) about 1456
Hello Tom,
I believe that I am correct in stating the following:
The configuration statements in the SYSTEM CONFIG file are used basically
during z/VM IPL to create your system's configuration. A subsequent activation
of a new IODF/IOCDS is not really associated to the SYSTEM CONFIG

That's an interesting observation, but what does it have to
do with how much work a regular VM userid can get done using
Rexx? That's the whole point of REXXCPS.

useful/meaningful, especially to an individual user. Is REXX Clauses per
