Michael,
Thank you for this gift to our community. I used SPF/PC and SPF/SE
extensively in the past and thought it was gone forever.

We use IEBUPDTE for Assembler source change application. SUPERC can compare
two source programs and generate a Delta file in IEBUPDTE format.
We even use IEBDG as part of a process when packaging our product elements
for customer download.

Section 7.1.1 in the I*BM ISV z/PDT Guide and Reference* reference
discusses the Linux-to-z/OS TCP/IP connections and how to define them in
your z/PDT DEVMAP. It's a long section with lots of detail.

QWS3270 will let you specify any port number for either secure or unsecure
TN3270 connection.

Great stuff Barry. Brings back memories of the IBM world in the seventies.
Tony Barr went on to found Barr Systems. Mr. Barr's history of SAS is here:

3270.
If you define a new session to QWS3270 and specify the name or IP address
of the Linux side of the box and a port number of 3270, you can connect
(non-securely) to that port and appear as a channel-attached local 3270 to
z/OS.
Does that method eliminate the problem you are seeing?
Mike Shaw
We use QWS3270 on a z/PDT and we have not seen that problem. Are you
running as a locally attached 3270 device address or through TCP/IP
remotely?

AFAIK, APF authorized pgms execute under TSO/E in a sister task to
IKJEFT09...the original IKJEFT09 task is in a wait until the APF authorized
pgm ends. Maybe the AUTHPGMS list in IKJEFTxx came into being as part of
that mechanism...

Michael,
Look at member QWDSLIST in the MVS/QuickRef JCL library. Comments at top of

Jack,
MVS/QuickRef will give you a list of the uncataloged data sets across all
your online DASD volumes, with one batch job, and you don't need to code
any DD statements.

We have a Synology NAS RAID server that Windows and our z/OS system
connect to via FTP. OSX and Linux can also talk to it via other protocols
. It is very easy to use.
