Here's my VMARC. Be sure to look at my fixed version of EAGACTAL EXEC. The original version had 2 problems and bad RAS: - it ran with the default ADDRESS CMS, what is not good for RAS reasons, I changed it to ADDRESS COMMAND. I had to uppercase one letter in an option of one COPYFILE

I downloaded the ZIP file too, and it is definitely broken. The proposed FTP commands are surely wrong too all the time. I don't recognize the record packing as something standard (but I'm not specialized in all possible blocking methods). The records are prefixed by 3 bytes: a flag and a 2

Question: why doesn't IBM just include this with the base z/VM distribution? It is free and needed by several other IBM products so why not make it easier for your customers? DEC used to ship all the runtime libraries for all supported languages because DEC engineering wrote at least one

If you talking about VMS, they had a single common runtime, THEN built th e compilers. IBM had to do it the other way around, combining existing runtimes to form LE, and i t was a MESS!

So, I'm trying to get IPGATE to work on a new system. It has certain prereqs, among them MTREXX and the compiled Rexx runtime. MTREXX was no problem. However.the Rexx runtime is quite a challenge. Sure, you can download it. It arrives as a zip file. You unzip it on your desktop.

I remember there being an error in the install exec. On of the filemodes was incorrect, I think. I'll look back at my install and see if I can refresh my memory. On 8/8/07, Adam Thornton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: EAGACTAL: Install and activate the Alternate Library 1. Verify if a REXX

I can't find it now. But it was on EAGACTAL exec. I'm pretty certain it had something to do with the FileMode. I think it was copying it as H0 or H1 and needed to be H2, or something like that. -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems

Filemode numbers normally don't play games with you, except: when storing files on 190 or 19E, the number should be 2, else the files are invisible after an IPL CMS And filemode 0 is -by default- invisible on R/O linked minidisks, but I saw you used an SFS dir. How did you upload the modules?

The EXEC and the REDAME file might be able to survive a transfer, but then I'd expect a transfer with ASCII translation. The TEXT and TXTAMENG should surely be F80, a CEXEC with F2048 seems wrong: compiled execs are F1024; the REPAMENG should most probably be F80. But, I reapeat the MODULEs all
