Re: Building AMODE 31 Assembler DLL

[Robin Atwood]

FWIW, the EXPORT parameter causes a

ENTNAME XATTR  LINKAGE(XPLINK),SCOPE(EXPORT)

statement to get generated, so you could include one yourself, with whatever 
macro you are using.

Thanks for the that pointer. I had not gotten to that manual as yet. But for a 
follow on question. As these are routines called from C, I've been using 
EDCPRLG as the entry code. Can I switch those out for CEEENTRY, as EDCPRLG does 
not have the EXPORT keyword. Taking a quick look at the CEEENTRY macro, it 
looks like I will need to code MAIN=NO, as these are not main routines. 

Again, thanks for the pointer. The XL C manuals only reference EDCPRLG for 
assembler routine. I can see that the manual you referenced will become one of 
my goto references for the near term future.

Re: SAS for ZOS 9.4.8 Install/Upgrade Experiences?

[Paul Beesley]

I've just done the first part of the install of SAS 9.4, not the easiest of 
jobs.
 I built the Software Depot on my laptop then used the Windows TAR command 
(which I didn't know existed) to create a tar file of each of the 10 
directories. Then uploaded these to a ZFS on the mainframe and used OMVS TAR to 
decompress them into the original directories. Used the SASDepotCheck.rexx to 
verify it had all been uploaded correctly.

Agree re support .. I raised a few cases during the install and they didn't get 
immediately picked up by a mainframe person, but usually got a reply within 24 
hours, no real issues..


Best Regards
Paul

The last 9.4 upgrade I did, I ended up transferring it to my desktop, and then 
from there to a ZFS on z/OS.  The problem then was that the direct to z/OS 
method was broken on the SAS end and I would imagine that they probably fixed 
it in the past 5 months since that time, but it wasn't a real hardship to 
download it to the PC first.

The rest of the install was identical to installing any of the previous 9.4 
releases for the past several years.  If you have any specific questions, feel 
free to send me a note.  I had the impression when I was working with SAS 
though that they no longer had much in the way of z/OS (or any mainframe) 
experienced people, but it might just have been a bad day or that the mainframe 
people were out sick.

Bob Shannon

[Rob Scott]

It is with great sadness that I have to inform this forum that Bob Shannon 
passed away unexpectedly last week aged 75.

Bob was the systems programming manager at Rocket Software from 2003 until his 
retirement in 2016.

He was a real character, and anyone working at Rocket during that time will 
have memories of Bob that will make them smile.

During his long career he was also a developer at Compuware, however many 
people on this list probably know Bob from his work with Share on the MVS 
project track.

He leaves behind his wife of 50 years, Vicky, and two daughters.

A knowledgeable and helpful man, he will be fondly remembered and keenly missed.

Thank you for sharing - prayers for his family at this time of loss. 

Bob was a terrific individual. Always kind, friendly, and helpful. He was
very active in SHARE for many years and while working with Carl Youngren
they revolutionized the SHARE session scheduling process among other things.
They also expanded the MVS Technical Steering Committee to include all of
the MVS group volunteers and they started the Bit Bucket Session tradition
that continues to this day.

Re: Any recommendations for a 3270 emulator for Android

[John S. Giltner, Jr.]

I have used Mocha TN3270 also.  I believe the lite version limits you to 5 
minutes of connect time.  Not bad if you only need to make a quick change.  


The purchase price for the full version is inexpensive, IIRC under $30 USD, and 
once purchased you can install on multiple Android devices.   So if you have a 
phone and a tablet, you can have it on both for the one price.

Fwd: Simple request from chatGPT to write assembler program.

[Edward Gould]

> 
> 
Bill,
There are at least 2 large DC’s  that run a majority of their production in 
assembler, that I know  personally. The coding is quite complex, ie multi 
tasking in Production and doing cross memory “stuff”. While I know 2 isn’t a 
lot there is hope yet. The multitasking is a wonder and I am glad I only got 
roped into one instance of helping to debug.
Most of this code has not changed since the 80’s except when thy wanted to take 
advantage of new features of the OS.
The cross memory application seems to break with every release of Z/os but I 
stayed away from it on purpose as I did not want to be responsible for anything 
that broke. It was a political nightmare.

"Outdated" terminal emulators?  They wish.  Not that I have anything against

others work just fine.

I recently received an email advertisement for a product called “Virtel Web 
Access,the browser-based 3270 emulation technology to replace outdated TN3270 
terminal emulators(like PCOMM, Attachmate, Rocket/BlueZone and more), also can 
replace expensive VTAM session managers(like TPX, CL/SuperSession, Tubes, and 
more).”



I don’t have any experience with it.

Re: z/OSMF and Zowe

Zowe, last I saw, ships an SMP/E install as well as a “convenience” build that

the update is basically replacing the core software so pax is far easier.


In my experience just the opposite is true.

The 'pax' is a manual download/install effort each time.

By contrast, once a product has been installed with SMP/E, it 
immediately qualifies for automatic unattended RECEIVE ORDER (including 
HOLDDATA). We do this daily.


We perform automatic ACCEPT/APPLY every weekend of Zowe (and 62 other 
SMP/E installed products). We could never pull off such a feat if we had 
to use the 'pax' method for Zowe or any of the others.

Thanks to both of you.

Yep.

It don't see an obvious virtual DUALD pointer. Is this even in home
addressable storage?
