I worked at Sterling Software, split off into Sterling Commerce, from 1993
to 1996, first in Q.A. and later as level 2 support for Connect:Direct, so
have been following developments over the years.

Brian,
I used Panvalet extensively from 1976 to 1982, including the Panvalet
Access method. It is disappointing that PAM is now an extra-cost feature.
I looked over the code in CBT148. It appears that the code is simply
setting up the ISPF user to run the Panvalet batch programs inside TS

You may wish to download the Redbook SG24-6898-01, Systems Programmer's
Guide to z/IS System Logger.
Even though it has not been updated since 2012, the information may still
be relevant.
In particular, chapter 8 is performance and tuning.
That chapter mentions the IXGRPT1 report as

This reminds me of a situation I ran into 25 years ago involving
assembler and COBOL. Granted, COBOL and Java are different
environments, but there may be enough similarity in the issues to be
relevant.
We had an assembler main program that called a COBOL subroutine
repeatedly. I
I did a lot of work in this area 20 years ago.

For the classic game, CBT file 269 has a version of the source program that

reference to there being the corresponding load module in CBT file 135 with

Fortunately, I downloaded that redbook years ago, before it was
withdrawn from the redbook website.
At one point, I supplied my copy to one of the authors!
It was my bible for tuning LSR buffer pools.
I would be happy to send you a copy.

Robin,
Since you said " I made a transaction that drove MOD1", this brings up
the question of whether or not this is a CICS region.
I ran into this problem around 20 years ago. Because CICS uses a
customized loader in order to maintain multithreading, PVTMOD did not work.
I forced the modu

When I Google "TSO PIPE", I found that it is a command within Netview.
BatchPipes is a completely different program product.
