Re: Unzip on z/OS ?

I agree with Michael, neither that redbook nor the current (V2R5) z/OS Callable Services manual even mention COBOL or any other HLL interface or API. Only the C language zlib library and functions are described. So where are the other-than-C language interfaces described? Peter -Original

Re: Unzip on z/OS ?

I'm guessing it means that to use the interface from COBOL one must... 1. Read the zlib documentation (https://zlib.net) to figure out how to call the library from C. 2. Cross-reference this with the documentation for the zEDC zlib implementation to determine which parameters are supported by z

Re: Unzip on z/OS ?

The V2R5 Callable Services manual SA23-1377-50 pp 191-196 describes ONLY the C language zlib library and functions. There is no material on how to use those functions from any other language than C. At the very least there is no mention of COBOL COPY members for the parameter definitions nor a

Re: Unzip on z/OS ?

A similar issue happened with BPXWDYN. COBOL can't set R0. So a new entry point in BPXWDYN was created that handled that problem. This all started with me writing an RCF to tell them that they didn't have a COBOL example. Then a C programmer (I'm guessing) wrote the COBOL code. You can write c

Re: IBM z16 Model A02 Announcement

I think that it's very good that we now have something like the multiprise 3000 back again. I think having smaller systems available for the "mainframe curious" will help a lot in getting new companies on the platform. From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Re: Unzip on z/OS ?

I just had a similar problem: "how do you determine your entry R0 from C?" I asked here and got no answer. I had to front end the C with a tiny assembler program (57 lines including extensive comments; 11 executable instructions). Why did the C need its entry R0? Because it is called from Rexx,

Thanks... I've used __asm with Windows C compilers, so I figured it was available on the mainframe too, but I didn't want to say anything since I didn't know for sure. On 4/4/2023 8:17 PM, David Crayford wrote: It certainly is possible using inline "__asm" blocks. Check out IBM's zoslib which
