Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hello, Hope everyone is safe. I am generating a XML file using Mainframe application and transmitting to the SFTP folder through connect Direct. When the transmitted through connected direct a line feeder LF is added at the end of the record. The file consumer either needs carriage return line feed...

I can see a use for PDS generations -- there is a daily process that generates files on a server. Those files are transferred via FTP to the mainframe for updating a DB2 data base. If the file names meet PDS member name standards, I could see using a PDS generation to hold each day's data in case o...

Thank you so much Robert.

Hi,

I always thought that GDGs are applicable to flat files only but I have also just seen GDGs for PDS too. When do we use GDG for PDS?

I had also noticed that we cannot specify a member name and a relative GDG number at the same time, is it correct or I got it wrong?

I need to know these, What it is? How it is used?

Hi All,

Any one can please give me some insight about the uri map entry and the path attribute of uri map entry. This sill be really helpful.

It did not give much information.. for example: https://www.google.co.in/webhp?sourceid ... in%20india

I have done some more searches also. Most of them talk about conferences abroad.

Hi,

Are there conferences for mainframes in India, like SHARE?

Thanks, that clears it up.

Batch programs need to be re-entrant if they are pre-loaded in IMS, if they run under Unix System Services, if they are DB2 stored procedures, if they need DLL support or use object-oriented syntax.  Otherwise, they can be re-entrant or not.  Also, programs compiled with NORENT must be RMODE 24 so ...

Thanks for anyone who looked at this thread to help out. I got the following, though not exacly what I was looking but fine for now: /* REXX */ TRACE O "ISPEXEC CONTROL DISPLAY LINE START(1)" PARSE UPPER ARG SQLCODE SQLC = X2C(D2X(SQLCODE,8)) ; SQLCA = 'SQLCA 'X2C(00000088)SQLC||X2C(0000)|...

Thanks Robert. But for other programs, like batch programs, why there is a need of being re-entrant?

Hi,

Can you please guide in how to call the DSNTIAR from REXX. I think seen its example somewhere but not able to locate it now. If someone can help, I'd appreciate that.

Hi,

In CICS we have the concept of re-entrant programs. Can we do this for a COBOL batch programs too?

Hi, In a COBOL program there is a paragraph which can not be accessed inside the progam. Basically it's a redundant code. Is there a compiler option with Enterprise COBOL which warns the programmer if a paragraph can not be accessed in the program? I seem to recall there was one but not what was it....

Thanks. Site support group has helped in resolving the program,with latest update in the CICS region this problem came in.

Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I missed the 'not'. I menat, "When I am doing CEMT I prog, I am not able to see new copy because the program is NOT showing up".

I also read your other statement but I am not sure how do i solve it now?

Hi All,

I have a CICS program. I have made some changs and compiled it. When I am doing CEMT I prog, I am not able to see new copy because the program is showing up. This program is invoked by a CALL and the program is triggerred by JAVA frontend entries. Can you please suggest what might be wrong?

Thanks! This is useful.

Hi,

I am from Mumbai in India.
