Re: Is True Skip-Sequential Processing Possible with RECFM=FB,DSORG=PS?

I wrote code that did it and it saved considerable time. Here is the setting/requirments the processing programs can not be changed. the program skips records till the first correct record is read- then does one after the other till out of range or EOF. The file is FBS (created under VSE w

I like these stories. in the nineties I had similar problems with my new computer, which had external SCSI drives in a separate box, and a 1,5 meter SCSI cable between this box and the PC tower. A friend of mine who knows more about electrical engineering than I do came along to look for th

RACF, the FACILITY class, and z/XDC

I've got a problem. Decades ago, I made some assumptions about RACF's FACILITY class that have turned out to be wrong. Currently, I'm working on implementing a new security rule for z/XDC, and the individual rules ("entities") can be up to 59 characters long. Decades ago, when I was porting z

Re: RACF, the FACILITY class, and z/XDC

The longest profile name in FACILITY is 39 characters (At least in z/OS v2.3) I would say that if you need something longer, you should create a dedicated class with the properties you want. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of David Cole Sent: יום א 12 נ

The properties for the supplied classes in RACF can be found here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=reference-supplied-class-descriptor-table-entries You can easily add new classes by adding a profile in the CDT class. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On B

You should make your own class. Classes can be dynamically added by adding to the CDT class. On Sun, 12 Nov 2023 05:40:03 -0500 David Cole wrote: :>I've got a problem. Decades ago, I made some assumptions about RACF's :>FACILITY class that have turned out to be wrong. :>Currently, I'm working

Re: RACF, the FACILITY class, and z/XDC

Ed Jaffe recommended against creating a SAF class. I'll respectfully suggest that it's not that hard. First, if you do, IBM told us, "Start the class name with a dollar sign-we'll never use those". Of course you could collide with another vendor, but that's unlikely. We've had customers doing s
