Question on HLASM - B to a DROP statement!?!

2024-10-02 Thread Peter Relson
It seems to me that the assembler did exactly what you'd hope it to do:

Warn you about the label in an inappropriate place and then treat it as a 
statement label, as if you had coded
 DROP  R11
DROPR11  DS0H
or
DROPR11  DS0H
 DROP  R11

Re: Cross-Memory Access: Can an Address Space be treated as a Data Space using an ALET?

2024-10-02 Thread Richard Zierdt
Hello everyone, but particularly Rob, since he responded.  Thank you for the 
alternatives, including the SYS1.MACLIB(BLSACTV) service, which is news to me.  
 I don't see it documented in the guide or reference manuals, but the macro 
itself contains a description, much like a reference manual entry.   Would that 
more macros were like this one.

I figured out what was going on with ALESERV.   A program "A" can read data 
from another address space "B", IF A is given B's STOKEN (not the ALET).   
Program "A":
ALESERV ADD, STOKEN=(of Program B ) returns the ALET=alet  to use to access 
Program B  (from within Program A).

A MODESET KEY=ZERO  is needed only for the duration of the ALESERV.  It is not 
needed to copy data from B (which is all that is needed: a fast copy).
ALESERV will not work if CHKEAX=YES is specified, as R15 returns an 8:
"The caller is not EAX-authorized to the specified space"

I read your note warning about "peeking into another address space."  For this 
application, Program A is nonswappable, so that should allay some of the 
concerns.  In addition, an ESTAE(X) environment should handle the exceptions 
you warn about.  Also, could things have improved in the last 20 years?

The simplicity of a single ALESERV (albeit wrapped around MODESET) to get the 
job done is very attractive.  Of course, all that glitters is not gold, so I'll 
keep Chris Craddock's and your warnings in mind.

Thanks again
Richard Zierdt

Richard

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, there are better options of 
sharing memory between two address spaces.

If you own the code in both address spaces, then you could use shared memory 
objects or even get ASID(A) to own a space-switch PC to return requested memory 
contents in a buffer to its callers in ASID(B).

If you do not own the code in ASID(A) and are using PGMB in ASID(B) to look at 
memory in ASID(A), then there are a couple of other techniques :
(o) ASID(B) schedules an SRB into ASID(A) to retrieve the memory - I have 
example code to do this at : 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/rscott-rocket/mxe__;!!HaceldhrWm2T3s6H!yn_W0TIms-5G8PGqU1Tm_h5t3EsbAEfTZA_3EY5bzsiCSQJayS-szXVGJaMrn9-EqZWb0BRuenYNFpO-yDcjGjq2kgtTqRMq-Y2jhbO7RV9URQ$
 (there is also an allied Share presentation for this code)
(o) Use the BLSACTV service in SYS1.MACLIB (since z/OS 2.5) - this is actually 
what we use for the SDSF "MEM" command.

Using CHKEAX=NO for address spaces outside of your control is not ideal - about 
20 years ago on this very forum Chris Craddock (one of the original BMC 
Mainview/Resolve developers) commented the following :

"This technique for peeking into another address space is very dangerous on a 
number of levels. If the address space is out then any access to private area 
pages will fail. If you take page faults in that space and you need to be 
suspended then bind break processing may notice the target space is not set up 
for cross memory access and abend you (S058?) likewise if the address space 
terminates while you're looking at it. I would expect to bump into one or more 
of the S058 or related abends with some regularity with this technique"

Note that all of the above alternative methods can be achieved in PSW keys 
other than 0 (perhaps key2 or key4), which helps make your code safer as you 
are less likely to overwrite other important system or common memory by mistake 
and become "famous".

The goal is to read data from an address space (not a data space) using an ALET.
The idea is "Program A" creates its own ALET that another program ("Program B") 
uses in its address space to read data from Program A's address space.  Is this 
possible ?

A summary of Program A code (AMODE31, RMODE24, authorized) is:
 ALESERV EXTRACTH,STOKEN=stoken  Returns STOKEN for the address space
 MODESET KEY=ZERONeeded, or return code from ALESERV is not zero
 ALESERV ADD AL=PASN,
   STOKEN=stoken,input STOKEN
   ALET=HomeALET,output ALET
   CHKEAX=NO,
   AL=PASN,
   ACCESS=PUBLIC,
   MF=(E,ALESERV)
 SYSEVENT DONTSWAP   make unswappable
 WTOR  sit on a WTOR so that Program B can access Program A's address 
space

Indeed! Addressability is a tricky thing to really grok. I have a fond memory 
of (gulp) over 40 years ago being asked to add some stuff to EXEC 2 on VM/370 
R6. It immediately blew addressability, and my then-manager said "Ehhh, maybe 
let's not". I said, "Let me do it and I'll come out of it understanding 
addressability". And he did, and I did! (Well, at least somewhat--I'll not 
claim to Know All, that would be obnoxious.)

For me, the operative question on this is, "Is there a use case where this 
would make sense to do?" and I do not believe that there is one. What's the 
saying about "Just because you can doesn't mean you should"?

Plus I've never accepted any RC other than 0 as acceptable from an assembler 
job. Have you??

EQU * after a fullword aligned DS CL7 will happily place the EQU on an odd
address, however, the assembler will halfword align the next machine
instruction, inserting a slack byte, so you will get an 0C1 if you jump to

Back in the 70s Saudi Arabia fired all the Palestinians and deported them out 
of Saudi Arabia. That’s just old history.

The more current history is that the Egyptians don’t want the Palestinians. So 
what’s occurred? Is that the Iranians after the 79 revolution in Iran, decided 
to start making trouble and that’s where we are right now. 

This is not a discussion of right or wrong. This is just a discussion of where 
we are and where we stand right now.

Re: Question on HLASM - B to a DROP statement!?!

2024-10-02 Thread Wayne Driscoll
I am referring to the next MACHINE instruction after the EQU, note you have
a slack byte between LAB1 and LAB2, here is my example:
000 00014 1 TESTMAP CSECT ,

00 07FE   2 BR14

02 D506 E000 F000 0 0 3 CLC   0(7,R14),0(R15)

084 DSCL5

  D   5 MYTAG   EQU   *

0D 00

0E D504 F001 1000 1 0 6 CLC   1(5,R15),0(R1)

Note that in my case the assembler made it obvious that there is a slack
byte at X'000D' so a branch to MYTAG would result in an 0C1.

However! I found in trying to send my message to Rick that Gmail doesn't like 
that option:

So I guess for Gmail users (and any other servers with similar policies) you'll

Re: Cross-Memory Access: Can an Address Space be treated as a Data Space using an ALET?

2024-10-02 Thread Peter Relson
The answer to the subject question depends on what you mean by "treated".
In many cases a space is a space. The interface to ALESERV ADD is STOKEN. An 
address space has an STOKEN. A data space has an STOKEN.
You can certainly access an address space's storage via an ALET on your DU-AL 
or PASN-AL.

For correctness, the target address space is required to be non-swappable. You 
might get away with its being swappable but cannot in general count on it.

Re: Israel

2024-10-02 Thread Rick Troth

Thanks, Steve, for the history.

The topic is of great interest to me personally for a variety of 
reasons, including that my wife and I have both traveled in the Middle 
East and continue to do business there.
I also have many friends/colleagues with specific interest in Israel, 
some of whom reside there. Most of my colleagues/friends with ME/Israeli 
interest are technical, a substantial portion of that set being 
mainframers.

So there is real connection with this LISTSERV list.

However ...

The politics of the region serve as fire starter for flame wars, which 
we want to avoid even more than we want to avoid off-topic conversations.
So that's a problem. I clearly see two list members, whom I need not 
name, who are at odds.


I hold a reasoned opinion on several points, especially the politics, 
and would greatly welcome conversation with anyone (agree or disagree, 
as long as you don't "cancel" me) but that would certainly be off-list.
But there's a problem. I don't know how to engage off-list. In fact, to 
chat with Steve is impossible because LISTSERV presents his email 
address as 050e0c375a14-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu. I don't know 
if that's a privacy setting or some other LISTSERV artifact but it 
hinders direct contact which in turn defeats off-list migration of 
less-than-relevant conversations.


My contact info is either tro...@gmail.com or r...@casita.net (copied).
Steve, please drop me a note.

The question was not 'how to fix', but was instead, 'why did the 
assembler allow something this stupid in the first place'.


My post was just to point out that the VSE HLASM does the exact same

This distribution List it is a great place to put questions and see answer
and know people, we need that, however we will need be prepared to survive
in a changing century and ready for AI stuff that are arriving...

Let see what AI reply to our question about LABEL DROP

I did enter this question:
On z/OS assembler code can I put a LABEL in the DROP line ?

And this is the answer from google COPILOT
"
In z/OS assembler, you cannot place a label directly on a DROP statement.
The DROP statement is used to remove register names from the current
register save area, and it does not support labels. Labels are typically
used to mark locations in the code for branching or data definition, but not
for assembler directives like DROP.

If you need to manage register usage and ensure clarity in your code, you
might consider using comments or structuring your code to make the purpose
of the DROP statement clear without needing a label.

Is there a specific scenario or problem you're trying to solve with the DROP
statement? Maybe I can help with an alternative approach!

""

Now is our turn to say if this is acceptable or we need to teaching AI
better then someone is doing today...Because soon we can just need to say:


z/OS assembler code give me a sample program that print "hello World" ?

Here the result from google COPILOT

"
Sure! Here's a simple z/OS assembler program that prints "Hello, World":

Assembly

HELLOCSECT
 USING *,15
 WTO   'Hello, World'
 BR14
 END   HELLO

AI-generated code. Review and use carefully. More info on FAQ.

This program uses the WTO (Write To Operator) macro to print the message
"Hello, World" to the system console. The BR 14 instruction is used to
return control to the operating system.

If you have any questions about this code or need further assistance, feel
free to ask!

| However, if no control section has been started, the name is equated
| to zero.

I will venture to say that it's reasonable for the assembler to allow it
since it will probably do something acceptable. However, the point stands
that it issues a warning because this might not be what the programmer
intended.

Putting an ordinary symbol (a label) on a DROP would (to me) indicate that
the programmer intended it as a target for a branch, at which point the
named base_register (or label or address) should be dropped.

If this was the intention, it would be better to do as suggested. The
assembler cannot read minds so it warns when it might not do what was
intended.

Please,

Will everyone go back and read the OP's original post.

The question was not 'how to fix', but was instead, 'why did the assembler
allow something this stupid in the first place'.

My post was just to point out that the VSE HLASM does the exact same thing.
And, I have gotten multiple 'you can fix it by doing this' emails since my
post.

I see a problem with not fixing it. It appears that it has been accepted for a 
long time (possibly forever).

Also, the description of the message says exactly what it will do:
| The name is equated to the current value of the

I will venture to say that it's reasonable for the assembler to allow it since

Or even better, not posted it at all. I read and hear enough about this 
stuff. I do not want to hear about, deal with it, wish anyone well, or 
address it at all in this forum.

Please just everybody stop.
I'm relatively sure, like all Miss Universes, Miss USA's, Miss America's 
etc. We all want world peace and everyone to be safe.


Just do it somewhere else. PLEASE!

Then let's hope everyone stays safe; not just the Israelis, but the 
Palestinians, in both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Lebanese, the 
Syrians, the Jordanians, the Egyptions, the Iranians and the Yemenis.

Why? Because even if there are no contributors to this thread in all of those 
areas, contributors to and readers of this thread are close to people in all of 
those areas. And they are all in harm's way, too.

You can also use the "JM" action from AS to get a subpool summary and then

Re: Question on HLASM - B to a DROP statement!?!

2024-10-02 Thread Giovanni Bozzetti
This distribution List it is a great place to put questions and see answer
and know people, we need that, however we will need be prepared to survive
in a changing century and ready for AI stuff that are arriving...

Let see what AI reply to our question about LABEL DROP

I did enter this question:
On z/OS assembler code can I put a LABEL in the DROP line ?

And this is the answer from google COPILOT
"
In z/OS assembler, you cannot place a label directly on a DROP statement.
The DROP statement is used to remove register names from the current
register save area, and it does not support labels. Labels are typically
used to mark locations in the code for branching or data definition, but not
for assembler directives like DROP.

If you need to manage register usage and ensure clarity in your code, you
might consider using comments or structuring your code to make the purpose
of the DROP statement clear without needing a label.

Is there a specific scenario or problem you're trying to solve with the DROP
statement? Maybe I can help with an alternative approach!

""

Now is our turn to say if this is acceptable or we need to teaching AI
better then someone is doing today...Because soon we can just need to say:


z/OS assembler code give me a sample program that print "hello World" ?

Here the result from google COPILOT

"
Sure! Here's a simple z/OS assembler program that prints "Hello, World":

Assembly

HELLOCSECT
 USING *,15
 WTO   'Hello, World'
 BR14
 END   HELLO

AI-generated code. Review and use carefully. More info on FAQ.

This program uses the WTO (Write To Operator) macro to print the message
"Hello, World" to the system console. The BR 14 instruction is used to
return control to the operating system.

If you have any questions about this code or need further assistance, feel
free to ask!

We need to start learning again a lot of stuff..

The original question did not ask why it allowed something stupid. It was:

I see a problem with not fixing it. It appears that it has been accepted for
a long time (possibly forever).

Also, the description of the message says exactly what it will do:
| The name is equated to the current value of the location counter (*). 
| However, if no control section has been started, the name is equated 
| to zero.

I will venture to say that it's reasonable for the assembler to allow it
since it will probably do something acceptable. However, the point stands
that it issues a warning because this might not be what the programmer
intended.

Putting an ordinary symbol (a label) on a DROP would (to me) indicate that
the programmer intended it as a target for a branch, at which point the
named base_register (or label or address) should be dropped.

If this was the intention, it would be better to do as suggested. The
assembler cannot read minds so it warns when it might not do what was
intended.

Will everyone go back and read the OP's original post.

The question was not 'how to fix', but was instead, 'why did the assembler
allow something this stupid in the first place'.

My post was just to point out that the VSE HLASM does the exact same thing.
And, I have gotten multiple 'you can fix it by doing this' emails since my

Re: Israel

2024-10-02 Thread Dave Beagle
The funny or maybe not so funny is Jews & Palestinians share a common ancestry. 

Yes, Israelis and Palestinians share a lineage:     
   - 
   - 
   - 
   
   - Genetic overlap A DNA study found substantial genetic overlap between 
Israeli/Palestinian Arabs and Jews.    
  - 

   - Common ancestry A 2020 study found common ancestry between modern 
Levantine Arabic-speaking peoples and Ashkenazi populations.    
  - 

   - Ancient Canaanites Archaeological and genetic data support that both Jews 
and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites.    
  - 

   - Y chromosomes A study found that more than 70% of Jewish men and 82% of 
Arab men inherited their Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors who 
lived in the region within the last few thousand years.    
  - 
  - 

   - Levant A genetic study found that many Jewish subjects were descended from 
ancestors who originated in the Levant.    
  - 

Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and 
Christians.

Back in the 70s Saudi Arabia fired all the Palestinians and deported them out 
of Saudi Arabia. That’s just old history.

The more current history is that the Egyptians don’t want the Palestinians. So 
what’s occurred? Is that the Iranians after the 79 revolution in Iran, decided 
to start making trouble and that’s where we are right now. 

This is not a discussion of right or wrong. This is just a discussion of where 
we are and where we stand right now.

Lol, there is plenty of malice. This list consist of a bunch of mostly white, 
mostly males. Many of whom aren’t nearly as educated or intelligent as they 
want to portray. I can only imagine the types who post here. It’s truly a 
despicable place. Deplorables if you will. Let’s not pretend this board is some 
panacea of integrity. I witnessed first hand the attack dogs who exist here. I 
wouldn’t trust most of you as far as I could throw you.

I detest politics and conflict.  And people construing malice where there is

On this technical board you need to examine your concepts and belief systems
