Re: IEAMSCHD no FRR param

When SRB receives control from IEAMSCHD, R2 contains a 24-bit address of the FRR parameter area. You can pass parameters to your FRR from your SRB by using this address. Your FRR can establish addressability to whatever you store there by using the SDWAPARM field. Note that you will need to be

Re: IEAMSCHD no FRR param

One thing to bear in mind is that you cannot guarantee that the R13 at the time of error is the same as the R13 that you establish in your SRB. If you use this technique, I would recommend some verification steps in your FRR code before you use the R13 from the SDWA. Rob Scott Principal Softwar

Remember that SMF is being written a lot and quickly. Depending on what you are looking to do, you need to consider any issues a real time monitor might have on SMF Processing. So, are you looking to monitor ALL records or some? Are there specific SMF Records you want to monitor? Are there speci

This was a follow up from a suggestion of not knowing what type of storage VSMLOC was processing. I was issuing VSMLOC from an SRB And coding of PVT for a LSQA address would generate a ABEND which I would subsequently Re-try with the correct LSQA PARM in the VSMLOC I wasn't sure how to get the

No. On entry to your SRB, the *system* sets R2 to the FRR parameter area pointer if you code FRR=YES on IEAMSCHD. See the doc on IEAMSCHD in Auth Asm Services Guide. Rob Scott Principal Software Engineer Rocket Software 77 Fourth Avenue . Suite 100 . Waltham . MA 02451-1468 . USA Tel: +1.781.68

The address of the FRR parm area is a 24-bit address - (I seem to recall the last time I actually looked the address was something like x'0C00' but I am not 100% sure). However you choose to use the 24 bytes that this points to is up to you ; there is no reason why you cannot put a 31-bit

Is your concern the fact that the area is in 24 bit storage, or that it is only 24 bytes in length? The residency issue is because the storage is part of the FRR stack, which resides in the fetch protected area of the PSA. Because it is in the PSA, it is size constrained. However, nothing is sto
