Hand-editing is the only way I have ever configured AT-TLS, so a. It's not hard. Anyone with any kind of coding background should find it a piece of cake. Consult the documentation. The parameters are not entirely intuitive nor consistent. b. No idea whether the changes would be preserved if yo

Way back in the dawn of history, IBM did something that appalled me, and you are the latest victim. While for other S0Cx ABENDs the last digit identifies the program interrupt code, for S0C4 there are multiple possible interrupt code, and 0004 is not the most common. Most likely you got a 0010 o

Well, the PSW at abend should show they key it was in. Does it show zero? A PSW with key 0 still can get PIC-4 in DAT mode if the page or segment is protected (for example LPA pages). A PSW with key 0 can get a PIC 4 in either mode if modifying low storage without disabling low storage protection
