Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Happy New Year all.

Any answer for this please?

Thanks Robert.

But I don't recall that we observed them with COBOL 4.2. I was looking for a document which can tell what was not considered as warning in COBOL 4.2 but is considered in COBOL 6.2 but I did not find.

We've strobe, I would like to experiment with code-coverage, where do I start from, could you please guide on that, Robert?

Hi,

Why this thread has been locked? https://www.zmainframes.com/viewtopic.p ... &start=220

It's been a while and that topic was left in between. Never mind, when you say Many -- perhaps most -- sites do not have code coverage tools and hence have no idea how good (or bad) their testing is. A very rough rule of thumb that can be used is to find out how many batch jobs have to be rerun due ...

We faced some music in production with COBOL 6.2, like: HIGH ORDER DIGIT POSITIONS IN THE SENDER MAY BE TRUNCATED THE SENDER MAY BE TRUNCATED IN THE MOVE TO RECEIVER "SRR678-D01-INV-TOTAL-AMT (NUMERIC-EDITED) HIGH ORDER DIGIT POSITIONS IN THE SENDER MAY BE TRUNCATED THE SENDER MAY BE TRUNCATED ...

COBOL 4.2

Hi,

We're upgrading to COBOL 6.2, has someone done this before and would like to share any cheat sheet?

SO is that not more work compared to INITIALIZE as that's what is final expected result? Please advise.

Code coverage analysis is quite useful when testing. If you develop a set of test data for a program, and you run your tests, do you think your boss will be very happy when you tell him / her that your test data exercised 20% of the code paths? In other words, your testing did NOT test 80% of the p...

A code path is how a program can be executed for a given set of data. Each IF statement, for example, generates two code paths -- one for when the IF is true, and one for when the IF is false. A nested IF statement therefore generates three code paths (one for first IF true and nested IF true, one ...

Hi, I was asked this, "What is code coverage and how to measure it?" I could not answer this but I did a search on it later and found this: Code coverage is a measurement of how many lines/blocks/arcs of your code are executed while the automated tests are running. Code coverage is collect...

I've seen this done two ways -- where the key of the KSDS is just a sequence number, and where the key of the KSDS is job name + sequence number (this application had multiple jobs that could be submitted from CICS). Each line (record) of JCL is stored in the KSDS as a separate record with its own ...

Thanks Robert. I have not worked on this requirement as it was dropped and I could not follow up in this. I had been searching for an example where VSAM file can have a JCL and copy it to TDQ but I could not get one. How exactly this is done actually? We just create a VSAM, have just one record in i...

Hi,

Anyone have idea how much fee DB2 Certification Course would have in India? And can it given from home?

Can any one please help me to know various methods to solve a SOC7 in mainframe ... I got this question in an interview ..I gave the answer ..like we track the line number using offset then we put a display ..but he again put some complicated scenarios and I got confused [ Post made via Android ] ht...

You need a TDQ in the CICS region that points to the internal reader (or use the CICS SPOOL interface commands). Your CICS program copies the batch JCL to the spool (or TDQ) and closes it (for TDQ) or uses SPOOLCLOSE. The batch JCL includes the usual copy to SMTP with the correct format for the att...
