Thanks, Allan. Back in the 90's I used CEEPIPI to create a persistent C enclave I could call from Assembler because building the environment is expensive. Unfortunately, CEEPIPI documentation is kind of scarce. What we do find doesn't give us very many clues for how to get to Java. Robert Cr

I am confused about which 'access' is at question. There is access to the card and access to the lpars using the card. Basically the wires in and out of the physical OSA-ICC card. ANYONE that has connectivity to the Ethernet port on the OSA is 'accessing' the OSA. The 'OSA Specific Utilities'

Hi Robert, IMS uses the CEEPIPI approach to make the JVM persistent, but thats actually only needed if multiple modules are serially executed and (speaking with COBOL) end with a GOBACK. The GOBACK of the first module called would terminate the LE enclave (and as such the JVM) so CEEPIPI is us

IXGLOGR has had multiple TCBs for more than a decade now, with over 256 TCBs possible for high load scenarios. Of course each task has specific functions, so the processor speed for a single task can affect that part of the logger. You can define your logstreams to be separated between TEST and

UTF-8 is just an encoding of Unicode; not a character set. All of ISO-8859-1 is part of Unicode. Of course, the encoding of characters between U+80 and U+FF requires two octets in UTF-8. And, yes, UTF-8 is clearly the way forward, although there may be some bumps in the road. -- Shmuel (Sey
