Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

My knowledge about mirror transactions is very less in CICS, does mirror transactions also have the similar entries like we have in PCT for usual setup in CICS. If it is not that way, how to know the name of program mirror transaction in CICS? Please help.

You can use strobe on an assembler program too.

Looks like you are confusing AIX with PATH if the ddname/definition points to the AIX then You will get the  AIX  data ( keys/pointers to the bas cluster ) if the ddname/definition points to the PATH then You will get the base cluster data read again - if You ever did - the redbook I pointed to in ...

Doing some more research on this topic, I came to know that if we create a RDO definition and point it at the AIX, then we can access the file as if it were the base cluster throgh this definition. Is it the usual way of daoing this or it's just a user preference?

What is the way to view the definition of alternate index of this existing alternate index using CICS? You don't -- you use IDCAMS LISTCAT in a batch job to see the definition, just as you don't see the definition of the base cluster in CICS but rather in batch. Thanks. I thought it's there somewhe...

Hi, We have a KSDS VSAM dataset. This is an existing dataset and had been in use for many years. I need to write a new program in which I want to use this file and the alternate index that is defined for this file. What is the way to view the definition of alternate index of this existing alternate ...

CEMT I TASK will show currently active tasks.  However, for a pseudoconversational task where the task has returned to CICS until the user completes filling in the screen (or whatever), the task is NOT active and hence will not show up.  CEMT I NET is probably the most accurate way of showing the r...

How to check the currently running tasks in CICS? Is there any tool available for this, please help me on this.

Thanks a lot. Got this red book https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/gg243376.pdf.

Hi,

I have been searching for the TCPIP profile dataset which can explain abou t the syntax of the statements. In fact if there is some pdf or SHARE presentation with some for starters , it'd be great. Well, I need to do some reading to get going.

Yup, a good one. Thanks Enrico.

As the subject line says it all - this section is really nice and a great idea. It'll help novice and as well as any experienced programmer. though it's in start of it but sounds promising.

Great,

Thanks

This is a grat document. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for this great discussion. I had been away from work for some time and could not really come back.

I'll read the explanations again to come up with some new question, if any.

Thanks

Thanks ApexNC and Enrico - this is a great help and gives me a direction.

Much appreciate your inputs...

Hi, What are LOW-VALUES & HIGH-VALUES in COBOL? I read about them and got more confused. Most the definitions I read keep on mentioning about "collating sequence" while defining them, for example - LOW-VALUES are the lowest possible value in collating sequence? What does that mean? Is ...
