I think they are using 037, still have a confirm though.

Looks like that's the reason but how do I identify that? That's the question.

Thanks prino. Sorry it's EMEA. In Germany, the point of entry in Rumba, code page is CP273, which encodes the @ symbol in the email address as X’B5’ (and the § “section sign” as X’7C’). So to answer your question for EMEA it's CP273. On further investigation, I came to know that - "as a general...

Hi, One of our other teams where I'm not directly involved has got a problem with the "@" character using in then email-IDs. I might get murky in my explanation however please bear with me and I'll to add on as and when required. Three things involved in the problem - mainframe, Rumba emul...

Thanks Robert.

Is there no common library on zOS, like "Program Files" on windows where we could the possible programs installed already though it won't tell abut their usage but "last updated" date might give a hint. There is not something similar in mainframes?

16621 the answer depends on the reason of the research. - cost saving , -- 1 - see if the software You want to get rid of writes smf records -- 2 - look at the docs to find the main executable and look at the smf records for program loads and ... process the smf data accordingly - for any other rea...

Hi there,

What are the possible way to identify, on mainframes zOS 2.1, to check software which have not run in last six months? Can someone please advise on this?

I did search on the search-engines, one of the search is listed here but I could not really figure out a satisfactory answer about it.

Thanks, i had idea about MXG and MICS so felt these are the mainly used. In fact only used one I thouhgt. Like, CICS is the most popular and there is just IMS DC mainly used online software for mainframes.

Hi,

Are there some alternative to MXG and MICS along with SAS if we want to look at SMF reports from CPU utilization, MSU usage point of view? Or possibly something which we can use for the "chargeback mode in mainframes"?

Hi Lbdyck,

May be it is only me who feels like this but most of your posts are like if you are endorsing yourself? Is not it that if you get involved with the Forum in answering, it'll help us all for better community and your solutions will also get better responses!?

hah - Happy New Year All!

Can you share your solution for the benefit of others. I am not sure what exactly worked for you as what Nic said and what Anuj has said, are two very different arguments.

Happy New Year to All.

I think the latest follow up is in connection with the previous question, in that case, do you think that we should still separate this out from the original thread?

This 1. Extract the column from DB2. How do you extract - did you mean that you unload it? If yes, it all becomes very simple. But this statement of your All this I plan to do with just a JCL/DB2 and without writing a cobol program. What do you suggest? changes all the game. I don't see a better way...

I think you can not consider the statement "In the IBM mainframe world, the term memory is not used and is always referred as storage" universally. It's too bold to say that, as Robert has also indicated it might depend on the terminology a shop opts to use but that does NOT dictate it as ...

Thanks Robert, appreciate your reply.

And if I need to know if on this shop, the ADABAS / NATURAL is sub-capacity priced - how can I know that?

Hi,

I'm at a new shop and support team is not very friendly here. I was wondering how can I figure out which SMF records for Natural/ADABAS are being captured?

What are standard SMF records are captured in general, for a Natural/ADABAS shop? Please advise.

1000 is the loss.

I'm not sure with how many letters can I replace the "*"!, Any good guess on letters?
