//***SECTION V-508 SECTION * DOC FILE //* V-508 CHANGES FOR VERSION 508 DEC 19, 2024 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* A. We continue to thank the Linux Foundation, Open * DOC FILE //* Mainframe Project, which has given us access * DOC FILE //* to a z/OS development machine. A considerable * DOC FILE //* number of the Updates and Additions mentioned * DOC FILE //* here, were developed on that machine, by retired * DOC FILE //* systems programmers and by others. Thank you, * DOC FILE //* Open Mainframe Project of the Linux Foundation...!! * DOC FILE //* Special thanks to John Mertic and the other good * DOC FILE //* folks there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* B. Another of my email addresses is never used. * DOC FILE //* Please DO NOT SEND EMAIL to sbgolob@att.net. * DOC FILE //* * * * * ONLY * * * * * DOC FILE //* Please use sbgolob@cbttape.org to email me. * DOC FILE //* * * * * ONLY * * * * * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* C. My snail mail address is: * DOC FILE //* Sam Golob Phone Number: 845-731-9031 * DOC FILE //* P.O. Box 702 * DOC FILE //* Pomona, NY 10970 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* D. I must thank "Mr. Updater", my go-to guy, who has * DOC FILE //* helped us fix programs in countless situations. * DOC FILE //* THANK YOU, SIR...!!! Your help has always been * DOC FILE //* invaluable. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 1. Updates to Files 006 and 008 as usual. These are * DOC FILE //* files which have to do with creating the current * DOC FILE //* version of this collection. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 2. Update to File 019, to include a sample system * DOC FILE //* shutdown member called COMMSAMP that shuts down * DOC FILE //* a system automatically (and quickly) using the * DOC FILE //* File019 program called COMMAND. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 3. Update to File 028 to add a sequential copy program * DOC FILE //* called FTL which has similar JCL to SEQCOPY. Also * DOC FILE //* add members to help implement the tape backup * DOC FILE //* process. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 4. Update to File 035 to upgrade the PDS86 program * DOC FILE //* package to 8.6.24.4. There is now a new convention * DOC FILE //* that the last two numbers (24,4) are now the year * DOC FILE //* and the quarter of the year. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 5. Update to File 043 from Lionel Dyck, which is his * DOC FILE //* fantastic way to download the entire CBT Tape (file * DOC FILE //* by file) to your z/OS system. All you need is an * DOC FILE //* FTP connection from your z/OS system to the web * DOC FILE //* site: www.cbttape.org * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 6. Some updates to File 099 from Lionel Dyck. These * DOC FILE //* are REXX code snippets. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 7. Update to File 112 having to do with installation * DOC FILE //* of the VTOC TSO command. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 8. Update to File 118 which extends the notification * DOC FILE //* process when new SMP/E sysmods are delivered, to * DOC FILE //* an existing SMPPTS pds, as well as to a sequential * DOC FILE //* PTF file (such as which comes on a PTF PUT tape). * DOC FILE //* The original purpose of this file was to examine * DOC FILE //* a PUT tape before SMP gets to look at it, so you * DOC FILE //* don't mount the wrong tape. Now we extend the * DOC FILE //* same process to an SMP/E pds, such as SMPPTS. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 9. Update to File 134 from Greg Price, to improve the * DOC FILE //* REVIEW command and its associated tools, to version * DOC FILE //* 51.4. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 10. Update to File 135 to upgrade both the PDS program * DOC FILE //* package (to level 8.6.24.4) and the REVIEW command * DOC FILE //* programs to version 51.4. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 11. Update to File 147 from Rob Prins, who is the * DOC FILE //* current owner of Rick Focktman's ARCHIVER program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 12. Extensive updates to File 182 from John Kalinich, * DOC FILE //* to bring the fantastic PDS command package to * DOC FILE //* Level 8.6.24.4. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 13. Update to File 183 which is Gilbert Saint-flour's * DOC FILE //* collection of utilities. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 14. Update to File 247 which normally contains many * DOC FILE //* SYS1.BRODCAST maintenance programs, but this update * DOC FILE //* is for the MYIDP program which is there as well. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 15. Updates to some of the programs in File 270. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 16. Update to File 300 to fix CDSCB so it will run in * DOC FILE //* batch. You could run CDSCB against a list of * DOC FILE //* datasets by running it as a CLIST, but there was * DOC FILE //* a check in the code that stopped it from running * DOC FILE //* as a job under TSO-in-batch. Good for changing * DOC FILE //* many or all DSCB's on a volume, in onc shot. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 17. Update to File 311 (member VSMAP) from Dennis Smith. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 18. Several updates to Files 312 and 314 from Lionel * DOC FILE //* Dyck. * DOC FILE //* Changes for File 312: CKAMNT OMVSCMD OMVSMAN * DOC FILE //* Changes for File 314: WHOSON ZFSTOOLS * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 19. Updates to File 316 from Sam Golob. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 20. Small update to File 369. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 21. File 401 now contains some updates to the SPITBOL * DOC FILE //* documentation. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 22. Update to File 415 from Rob Prins, to bring the * DOC FILE //* level of his magnificent RPF file-handling package * DOC FILE //* to Version 1.99. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 23. Update to File 417 from Lionel Dyck and others, * DOC FILE //* to bring their RACF administration tool to * DOC FILE //* Version V38R9 (389 iterative improvements from the * DOC FILE //* original version of Nico Rizzuto). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 24. Update to File 433 from Frank Clarke, which is a * DOC FILE //* very large collection of useful REXX execs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 25. Update to File 434 from Mark Zelden, to improve * DOC FILE //* HIS enormously valuable collection of REXX execs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 26. Update to File 435 from Frank Clarke, which is * DOC FILE //* another large collection of useful REXX execs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 27. Update to File 492 from Lionel Dyck, to add his * DOC FILE //* REXX exec which breaks up the SHOWzOS output into * DOC FILE //* many separate categories, so that you can look at * DOC FILE //* each display separately. The exec is called SHOWZ. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 28. Update to File 604 which is the SIT SNOBOL4 [*] * DOC FILE //* load module version 3.5. (This is source code.) * DOC FILE //* It has been updated since the former version was * DOC FILE //* broken. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 29. Update to File 612 from Albert Cheng, to improve * DOC FILE //* or fix several utilities in his fine collection. * DOC FILE //* Member changes: DELINUSE DELINUSJ DSPACE DUDASD * DOC FILE //* DELINUS$ DUDASD$ IXVTOC JDELINUS JDSPACE * DOC FILE //* JSLOPRNT LOAD OSVTOC SLOPRNT * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 30. Almost a complete rewrite of File 669 from Willy * DOC FILE //* Jensen, which is a large aid in REXX coding, and * DOC FILE //* analysis in REXX development. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 31. Update to File 731 from Sam Golob, which is his * DOC FILE //* unique collection of TSO commands that you are * DOC FILE //* not likely to find (equivalents of most of them) * DOC FILE //* anywhere else. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 32. Update to File 797, which contains an assortment * DOC FILE //* of TSO commands that you are not likely to find * DOC FILE //* anywhere else. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 33. Update to File 874, which is a collection of HELP * DOC FILE //* members (many are similar to IBM help members) * DOC FILE //* that will get a person started in using programs * DOC FILE //* from the CBT Tape. If you look at the particular * DOC FILE //* help members, you may decide that the associated * DOC FILE //* program (whose file number is in the ISPF stats) * DOC FILE //* might be a good candidate for you to install. * DOC FILE //* This list of help members is by no means complete, * DOC FILE //* but there are close to 100 of them, and they will * DOC FILE //* help to get you started installing what you need. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 34. A large update to File 967 from Tom Conley, which * DOC FILE //* is a big collection of ISPF usermods, known as * DOC FILE //* CUCI (CBT Usermod Collection for ISPF). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 35. Update to File 969 from Lionel Dyck, which is an * DOC FILE //* advanced package to handle PDSE version 2 datasets * DOC FILE //* which have member generations. For a while, this * DOC FILE //* package was much better than what IBM had, to be * DOC FILE //* able to handle, and copy, PDSE version 2 member * DOC FILE //* generations. If that is what you deal with, this * DOC FILE //* package is a must. Known as PDSEGEN. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 36. Update to File 989 from Willy Jensen. This is a * DOC FILE //* package called FINDMEM, and in this tape version, * DOC FILE //* we have a large rewrite of it. This package will * DOC FILE //* input a PDS member name, and IT WILL LIST FOR YOU, * DOC FILE //* ALL THE PDS'es ON THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, WHICH CONTAIN * DOC FILE //* A MEMBER OF THAT NAME. This is a rare, hard-to-find * DOC FILE //* package, and it is free. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 37. Update to File 997 from Henri Kuiper and Lionel * DOC FILE //* Dyck, and contains the Zigi package, which is an * DOC FILE //* easy ISPF interface to Git. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* ZIGI is the open source z/OS ISPF Git Interface * DOC FILE //* application that enables the traditional ISPF user * DOC FILE //* to utilize many of the facilities of Git without * DOC FILE //* having to "fully" learn Git while avoiding the need * DOC FILE //* to use the OMVS environment. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 38. Update to File 1040 from Frank Clarke which * DOC FILE //* contains his REXX execs which are designed to help * DOC FILE //* handle PL/I compile and source listings. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 39. Update to File 1042 from Frank Clarke which has * DOC FILE //* his REXX routine called DEIMBED, that creates and * DOC FILE //* deletes temporary files of all kinds, needed in * DOC FILE //* other REXX outines. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 40. Update to File 1044 from Frank Clarke, which has * DOC FILE //* his CBTSCAN package, that tells you which member * DOC FILE //* names are contained in which CBT Tape files. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 41. Update to File 1047 from Frank Clarke, which has * DOC FILE //* several REXX execs, having to do with the Catalog * DOC FILE //* Interface, looking up pds members (where they are) * DOC FILE //* and dealing with several other useful things. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 42. Addition of File 1049 from Sam Golob, which lists * DOC FILE //* the (YouTube) URL's of the Linux Foundation's * DOC FILE //* "I Am A Mainframer" podcasts. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 43. Update to File 1056 from Frank Clarke, which has * DOC FILE //* a special REXX exec called RUNDATA, used by other * DOC FILE //* REXX execs. RUNDATA provides a means of customizing * DOC FILE //* all your REXX execs for a particular z/OS * DOC FILE //* installation or instance, WITHOUT ANY INTERNAL * DOC FILE //* CHANGES TO THE REXX EXEC AT ALL (other than the * DOC FILE //* one-time mod to make your EXEC RUNDATA-aware, of * DOC FILE //* course). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 44. Addition of FIle 1057 from Frank Clarke, which * DOC FILE //* presents a series of REXX execs entitled * DOC FILE //* SHOWMEM, a suite of REXX routines that will be * DOC FILE //* especially useful in any Configuration Management * DOC FILE //* environment, but which may also be used by anyone * DOC FILE //* who regularly performs a code maintenance function. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 45. Addition of File 1058, which is a version of the * DOC FILE //* PL/1-F execution library, that is needed to install * DOC FILE //* Ed Liss' Archiver Extensions from File 147. There * DOC FILE //* already was a version of the PL/1-F execution * DOC FILE //* library on the CBT Overflow Tape, File 092, but * DOC FILE //* this one appears to be larger, and it was the one * DOC FILE //* that Ed Liss used, so it is being presented in its * DOC FILE //* entirety. (I don't want people to be missing * DOC FILE //* anything.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE//***SECTION V-507 SECTION * DOC FILE //* V-507 CHANGES FOR VERSION 507 AUG 07, 2024 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* A. We continue to thank the Linux Foundation, Open * DOC FILE //* Mainframe Project, which has given us access * DOC FILE //* to a z/OS development machine. A considerable * DOC FILE //* number of the Updates and Additions mentioned * DOC FILE //* here, were developed on that machine, by retired * DOC FILE //* systems programmers and by others. Thank you, * DOC FILE //* Open Mainframe Project of the Linux Foundation...!! * DOC FILE //* Special thanks to John Mertic and the other good * DOC FILE //* folks there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* B.

My snail mail address is: * DOC FILE //* Sam Golob Phone Number: 845-731-9031 * DOC FILE //* P.O. Box 702 * DOC FILE //* Pomona, NY 10970 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 1. File 006 (which contains tools to maintain this * DOC FILE //* documentation file) and File 008 (which contains * DOC FILE //* jobs to create the new version of the CBT Tape), * DOC FILE //* have been updated accordingly. So has File 008 * DOC FILE //* been updated. See the Updates page for the latest. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 2. Updates to File 014 from Sam Golob, to contain his * DOC FILE //* tutorial articles on the PDS command (File 182), * DOC FILE //* and his articles explaining the origins and details * DOC FILE //* of SMP/E (and SMP4), which IBM does not bother to * DOC FILE //* teach people. IBM doesn't tell you what it did * DOC FILE //* in the past. BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT, IN ORDER * DOC FILE //* TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW. There's * DOC FILE //* other good stuff here too. Have a look.! * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 3. Update to File 020 which is very old. The APFLIST * DOC FILE //* program there, will probably only be useful for * DOC FILE //* MVS systems that don't have dynamic APF tables. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 4. Update to File 029 to explain that the procedure * DOC FILE //* described there (to enlarge the VTOC dynamically) * DOC FILE //* is probably obsolete, because ICKDSF can certainly * DOC FILE //* do that job much more easily nowadays. However, * DOC FILE //* the procedure probably still works. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 5. Update to the load library (File 035) to either * DOC FILE //* add or update the following programs: * DOC FILE //* CKIEBGEN, LISTHEAD, LISTMOD, LISTMODD, MAPTAPE, * DOC FILE //* PDS, PDS38, PDS86, PDS86I, PDS8638, SS0104, * DOC FILE //* ULUONLN. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 6. Update to File 043 from Lionel Dyck, to enhance * DOC FILE //* his magnificent program to download the entire * DOC FILE //* CBT Tape, or part of it, directly from our website * DOC FILE //* (www.cbttape.org) to your z/OS system. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 7. Update to File 059 which is a bunch of ingredients * DOC FILE //* to display a dialog telling you details of the last * DOC FILE //* IPL. I think most of it is from (the late) Ken * DOC FILE //* Tomiak. It's quite nice. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 8. Update to File 120 from Sam Golob to add two new * DOC FILE //* articles. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 9. Update to File 134 from Greg Price to bring REVIEW * DOC FILE //* (his marvelous file handling program) to level 51.3. * DOC FILE //* Added (among other things) is that if you REVIEW * DOC FILE //* an XMIT file, you can expand it into its members. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 10. Update to File 135 to add REVIEW 51.3 and PDS * DOC FILE //* 8.6.24.0, among other updates. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 11. Update to File 182 to bring the PDS program package * DOC FILE //* to level 8.6.24.0. * DOC FILE //* PDS -- VERSION 8.6.24.0 JUNE 30, 2024 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 12. Update to File 185, to add a few programs to the * DOC FILE //* list of authorized TSO commands, and to reassemble * DOC FILE //* the lists. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 13. Update to File 229, to make some necessary cosmetic * DOC FILE //* changes and to fix the CKIEBGEN sequential copying * DOC FILE //* program further. When using CKIEBGEN to copy * DOC FILE //* sequential files, you have more control than with * DOC FILE //* IEBGENER. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 14. Made some necessary changes to File 247, added the * DOC FILE //* LSTB program, and made BCMDEL an alias of BCMDEL2, * DOC FILE //* which should be the proper program to delete user * DOC FILE //* broadcast messages. The old BCMDEL program was a * DOC FILE //* kludge, which did the job, but not properly. Also * DOC FILE //* added the new CNOP and NOCNOP options to CPSCB. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 15. Update to File 264 from Joe Reichman to add the * DOC FILE //* LSED macro from Richard Harper, which describes * DOC FILE //* the linkage stack. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 16. Update to File 266 from Sam Golob to fix the old * DOC FILE //* Florida Power Tape Mapping program (SS0104) and * DOC FILE //* the corresponding Tape Copying program (SS0278). * DOC FILE //* These programs were inadvertently limited in the * DOC FILE //* size of tapes they could map/copy by an extra SPM * DOC FILE //* instruction which should have been left out. * DOC FILE //* An article about the subject was added to this file. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 17. Updates to File 300 from various sources. These * DOC FILE //* are quite significant. AUCMD, AUPGM, CBUF, CPSCB, * DOC FILE //* COUNT, DPSCB, LISTMOD, SHOWSPC. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 18. Updates to File 312 from Lionel Dyck, to the * DOC FILE //* following packages: CMT, DOTSO, DSFSADM, EDITMAC, * DOC FILE //* FIXKEYS, FTPB, GETIPLDT, OMVSCMD. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 19. Updates to File 313 from Lionel Dyck, to the * DOC FILE //* following packages: SDSFEXT, SDSFXDD. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 20. Updates to File 314 from Lionel Dyck, to the * DOC FILE //* following packages: WHOSON, ZFSTOOLS, ZSYNC. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 21. Update to File 321 which is the COBANAL program, * DOC FILE //* from Roland Schiradin. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 22. Update to File 404 (TSSO) to make a cosmetic * DOC FILE //* change. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 23. Update to File 406 to fix a problem in the CQ (CQX) * DOC FILE //* TSO command, that cancels jobs by jobname. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 24. Update to File 415 from Rob Prins, to get the RPF * DOC FILE //* version level to 1.9.7. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 25. Update to File 417 from Lionel Dyck and others, * DOC FILE //* to raise the level of the RACF Administration Tool * DOC FILE //* to V37R5. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 26. Updates to File 423 from various sources, to fix * DOC FILE //* the "copyright notices" and to fix the LISTHEAD and * DOC FILE //* LISTMOD programs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 27. Massive updates to File 433 from Frank Clarke. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 28. Massive updates to File 435 from Frank Clarke. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 29. Update to File 480 with fixes to CKIEBGEN. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 30. Update to File 481 with fixes to the CKIEBGEN load * DOC FILE //* module. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 31. Fixes to File 488 from Jim Iannone. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 32. Update to File 492 from Roland Schiradin with * DOC FILE //* SHOWZOS version 8.03. Addition of REXX exec from * DOC FILE //* Lionel Dyck, called SHOWZ, which breaks the huge * DOC FILE //* output from SHOWZOS into pieces under ISPF, so * DOC FILE //* that each piece can be viewed separately. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 33. Update to File 535 from Deru Sudibyo. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 34. Update to File 614 to add load module library for * DOC FILE //* SHOWZOS 8.03 and its assembly JCL. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 35. Update to File 617 from Pedro Berrios, which is a * DOC FILE //* REXX exec that reports on SMF Type 30 records. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 36. Update to File 648 from Ben Marino, which is his * DOC FILE //* sophisticated Resource Monitoring Subsystem called * DOC FILE //* ZRMS. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 37. Update to File 669 from Willy Jensen, which is a * DOC FILE //* large rewrite and replacement of his REXX exec * DOC FILE //* function collection and general collection of tools * DOC FILE //* concerning REXX. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 38. Update to File 731, which is a collection of mostly * DOC FILE //* TSO commands, many of which you can probably find * DOC FILE //* nowhere else. (Not even close.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 39. Small update to File 797, which contains a way to * DOC FILE //* have a TSO user get the advantages of their own * DOC FILE //* LOGON PROC, without the installation giving one. * DOC FILE //* (Hint. You need access to an APF-authorized load * DOC FILE //* library, but there are tools in this collection * DOC FILE //* which don't have to be APF-authorized.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 40. Small update to File 826, which contains the CNCLPG * DOC FILE //* program in various versions. (Make a program * DOC FILE //* cancelable, non-cancelable, non-swappable, etc.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 41. Update to File 836 to add the LISTAPF and GETOSLVL * DOC FILE //* programs. GETOSLVL can be run in a batch job * DOC FILE //* stream, to give a return code that is unique for * DOC FILE //* the system level, so subsequent job steps can * DOC FILE //* examine the return code and only run if the given * DOC FILE //* system level is there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 42. Update to File 846, which contains programs that * DOC FILE //* deal with Track 0 of a disk pack. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 43. Update to File 873, which contains programs that * DOC FILE //* do UCB lookups, getting the real UCB (not a copy) * DOC FILE //* without being APF-authorized. This is done by * DOC FILE //* directly accessing the UCB Lookup Table (ULUT), * DOC FILE //* which is a technique "discovered" by the late * DOC FILE //* (and great) Gilbert Saint-flour. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 44. Update to File 874, which is a TSO HELP pds that * DOC FILE //* contains (SYS1.)HELP files for many of the CBT * DOC FILE //* Tape tools (not all of them). By looking through * DOC FILE //* this file, you can decide if you would like to * DOC FILE //* install one or many, of the tools. (They are very * DOC FILE //* handy.) This file also tells you (in the ISPF * DOC FILE //* statistics) which CBT Tape file the program will * DOC FILE //* be found in. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 45. Update to File 939 from Ze'ev Atlas, which is now * DOC FILE //* at Version 10.44 of PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular * DOC FILE //* Expressions) for z/OS (ported to z/OS). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 46. Update to File 956 by Paul Lemons and Fred Camp, * DOC FILE //* to modify one of Steve Myers' programs, called * DOC FILE //* SCAN118, to fit their needs. Please see member * DOC FILE //* $$NOTE01 for more information. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 47. Update to File 961 from Yves Colliard, which * DOC FILE //* contains a collection fo ISPF commands that can * DOC FILE //* be added to your session. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 48. Update to File 967 from Tom Conley, which is the * DOC FILE //* comprehensive "CBT Usermod Collection for ISPF", * DOC FILE //* known as "CUCI". * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 49. Update to File 969 from Lionel Dyck, which is his * DOC FILE //* PDSEGEN utility to handle PDSE Version 2 member * DOC FILE //* generations, better than IBM did (at least * DOC FILE //* initially). This is a comprehensive package for * DOC FILE //* handling PDSE Version 2 member generations. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 50. Update to File 977 which is the list of YouTube * DOC FILE //* video URL's about MVS topics, created by Moshix. * DOC FILE //* (This stuff is REALLY interesting.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 51. Update to File 989 from Willy Jensen, which is a * DOC FILE //* package to find every library containing a given * DOC FILE //* pds member, in the entire system with all the disks * DOC FILE //* that are online. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 52. Update to File 994 from "Mr.Updater" to fix the * DOC FILE //* powerful load module display programs LISTMOD and * DOC FILE //* LISTMODD, together with the LISTHEAD program, so * DOC FILE //* that they can optionally do a "directed load" from * DOC FILE //* the TASKLIB DD name, if that DD name is allocated * DOC FILE //* to a load library. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 53. Update to File 997 from Henri Kuiper and Lionel * DOC FILE //* Dyck, which is their ISPF interface to GIT, that * DOC FILE //* is called ZIGI. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 54. Update to File 1016 which was originally from * DOC FILE //* Steve Myers. There are a bunch of nice programs * DOC FILE //* here. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 55. Update to File 1023 which is a REXX cross-reference * DOC FILE //* report from Richard Humphris. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 56. Update to File 1031 from "Mr.Updater", which * DOC FILE //* addresses and fixes a problem of the wrong packed * DOC FILE //* decimal numbers in ISPF statistics--ending with a * DOC FILE //* "C" instead of ending with an "F". For example, * DOC FILE //* a date expressed as 0124097C instead of being * DOC FILE //* expressed as 0124097F. This package fixes the * DOC FILE //* problem completely, as well as detecting it. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 57. Update to File 1035 from Hobart Spitz, which is * DOC FILE //* a version of PIPES for z/OS, written in REXX. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 58. Update to File 1040 from Frank Clarke, which is * DOC FILE //* a large collection of REXX execs with emphasis on * DOC FILE //* improving PL/I reports, source elements, and * DOC FILE //* compiler listings. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 59. Update to File 1042 from Frank Clarke, which is * DOC FILE //* a generally useful REXX exec called DEIMBED. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 60. Update to File 1044 from Frank Clarke, which * DOC FILE //* consists of one primary routine, CBTXREF, that * DOC FILE //* displays the member names on the CBT Tape files, * DOC FILE //* and the file numbers that contain those member * DOC FILE //* names. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 61. Update to File 1047 from Frank Clarke, which * DOC FILE //* provides two REXX EXECs, FINDLIBS and SHOWLIBS, * DOC FILE //* useful for inventtorying libraries (by type) * DOC FILE //* across the entire installation. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 62. Addition of File 1048 which was sent in by David * DOC FILE //* Cartwright and contains an enormous amount of * DOC FILE //* material that is known by the name of Monsanto * DOC FILE //* Mods, from Monsanto in Brussels, Belgium. Most * DOC FILE //* of this material is from the early to mid 1970's, * DOC FILE //* but there is a lot to explore here, and it may be * DOC FILE //* especially useful to those people who are running * DOC FILE //* MVS 3.8 under Hercules. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 63. Addition of File 1050, which is the version of * DOC FILE //* Waterloo Assembler G, that came from Jay Moseley's * DOC FILE //* website, and which was fixed quite extensively * DOC FILE //* by Dan Skomsky. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 64. Addition of File 1051 from Ben Marino, and contains * DOC FILE //* his Dynamic SMF Exits Altering Facility called * DOC FILE //* zEMF. This is a marvelous package. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 65. Addition of File 1052 from Sam Golob, and this * DOC FILE //* package of programs takes advantage of the fact * DOC FILE //* that Gilbert Saint-flour's method of looking up * DOC FILE //* UCB's, gets the REAL UCB and not a copy. So you * DOC FILE //* can zap the UCB of a disk pack, and change it to * DOC FILE //* STORAGE, PUBLIC, or PRIVATE. No need to execute * DOC FILE //* a MOUNT command on the console. These are TSO * DOC FILE //* commands. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 66. Addition of File 1053 which contains a collection * DOC FILE //* of programs from Alain Barthelemy, tranlated from * DOC FILE //* French. Very useful. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 67. Addition of File 1054 from Paul Lemons, Lionel * DOC FILE //* Dyck, and John Kalinich. These programs help you * DOC FILE //* tell if a TSO user is using a password or a pass * DOC FILE //* phrase. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 68. Addition of File 1055 from Joseph Reichman, which * DOC FILE //* is an enormous improvement to File 192 from (the * DOC FILE //* late) Mitchell Marx. This program, which operates * DOC FILE //* as an ESTAEX exit, will help determine the real * DOC FILE //* origin of an abend, even if it occurred in a * DOC FILE //* different address space than the original program * DOC FILE //* ran in. It also accounts for 64-bit addressing * DOC FILE //* and a bunch of other new stuff. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 69. Addition of File 1056 from Frank Clarke, to * DOC FILE //* introduce a REXX exec called RUNDATA, that * DOC FILE //* externalizes the customization of REXX execs * DOC FILE //* for a particular installation or instance, * DOC FILE //* WITHOUT ANY CHANGES TO THE REXX EXEC AT ALL * DOC FILE //* (other than the one-time mod to make your EXEC * DOC FILE //* RUNDATA-aware, of course). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE//***SECTION V-506 SECTION * DOC FILE //* V-506 CHANGES FOR VERSION 506 DEC 05, 2023 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* A.

It is just a backup email. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 1 Updates to File 006 and 008 as usual. File 006 * DOC FILE //* needs the tape version on the execs to be changed * DOC FILE //* from 496 to 497, and File 008 needs the general * DOC FILE //* overhaul to produce the Version 497 tape and files. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 2 Update to File 022 to "modernize it" and put in * DOC FILE //* members $$$#DATE and @FILE022. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 3 Updates to File 035 (load module file) as follows: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* CNCLPG - Full power to cancel and burn jobs * DOC FILE //* CNCLP125 - You may want less power here * DOC FILE //* LOOK - 31-bit LOOK program - made reusable * DOC FILE //* LOOKJ - 31-bit LOOK program - made reusable * DOC FILE //* LOOKN - 64-bit LOOK program - preferred to use * DOC FILE //* (You should alias this as LOOK) * DOC FILE //* LOOKX - 31-bit LOOK assembled with "plainer" * DOC FILE //* CBMACS (macro formatting module) * DOC FILE //* PDS - PDS 8.6.17.9 - USA dates * DOC FILE //* PDS38 - PDS 8.6.17.9 - for MVS 3.8 * DOC FILE //* PDS86 - PDS 8.6.17.9 - USA dates * DOC FILE //* PDS86I - PDS 8.6.17.9 - ISO dates * DOC FILE //* PDS8638 - PDS 8.6.17.9 - for MVS 3.8 - ISO dates * DOC FILE //* SHOWTPVT - Display contents of the actual TPVT * DOC FILE //* (TSO PARMLIB Vector Table) addresses * DOC FILE //* and bit settings. * DOC FILE //* TAPEMAP - Normal TAPEMAP from File 299 * DOC FILE //* TAPEMAPM - TAPEMAP fixed for file numbers > 9999 * DOC FILE //* TAPEMAPX - TAPEMAP with Jump instructions, from * DOC FILE //* File 804 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 4 Update to File 068, TSTVS to include a better * DOC FILE //* install job. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 5 Update to File 134 to raise the version level of * DOC FILE //* the REVIEW package to 48.6. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 6 Updates to File 135 to raise the version level of * DOC FILE //* the REVIEW package to 48.6, and the PDS package * DOC FILE //* to 8.6.17.9. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 7 Updates to File 182 to raise the version level of * DOC FILE //* the PDS command package to 8.6.17.9. * DOC FILE //* PDS -- VERSION 8.6.17.9 APRIL 10, 2019 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 8 Update to File 185 to add the source for the * DOC FILE //* SHOWTPVT TSO command, which displays the current * DOC FILE //* addresses and bit settings in the TPVT (TSO PARMLIB * DOC FILE //* Vector Table). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 9 Update to File 247 to fix the MYID* programs for * DOC FILE //* correctly displaying 8-character TSO userids. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 10 Updates to the LOOK family of programs to fix * DOC FILE //* several issues: (from Joe Reichman) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* A. First, the old design of LOOK allowed you to * DOC FILE //* look at storage in your own address space without * DOC FILE //* being authorized. This involved allocating * DOC FILE //* user-key CSA, which will not be allowed in z/OS * DOC FILE //* 2.4 and later releases. So now LOOK has to be * DOC FILE //* authorized always, in order to allocate "system * DOC FILE //* key CSA" for its work space. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* B. LOOK could not examine 64-bit storage. The * DOC FILE //* new program LOOKN was developed, mostly by Joe * DOC FILE //* Reichman (I helped a bit), which addresses 64-bit * DOC FILE //* storage and 31-bit storage as well. The LOOKN * DOC FILE //* program is the "way to go". * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* C. Joe coded much better error recovery and SRB * DOC FILE //* management into both versions of LOOK, so that in * DOC FILE //* the latest systems, the program doesn't bomb with * DOC FILE //* S0C4's and S0C1's and exit in the middle of doing * DOC FILE //* your work. Both programs are much more reliable * DOC FILE //* now. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 11 Updates to File 299, mainly to add a version of * DOC FILE //* TAPEMAP (member TAPEMAPM) which contains support * DOC FILE //* for more than 9999 file sequence numbers in the * DOC FILE //* tape labels (Wayne Rhoten's design to support up * DOC FILE //* to 65535 file sequence numbers). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 12 Updates to File 312 from Lionel Dyck to add * DOC FILE //* packages DROPISPF and FIXKEYS, and to modify * DOC FILE //* packages: CAVXTRT, LOADISPF, PLPISPF, and RUNC. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 13 Update to File 313 from Lionel Dyck to modify * DOC FILE //* the SETCLIP package. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 14 Update to File 314 from Lionel Dyck to modify * DOC FILE //* the ZSYC program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 15 Update to File 316 to fix the PDSLOAD program: * DOC FILE //* Corrected program for 8-digit ISPF userids. * DOC FILE //* (Sam Golob, Greg Price, and Bill Godfrey) * DOC FILE //* Also forced extended ISPF stats when they were * DOC FILE //* there before, even if the counts were not bigger * DOC FILE //* than 65535. Version 10.1 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 16 Update to File 353 to "modernize it" and put in * DOC FILE //* members $$$#DATE and @FILE353. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 17 Update to File 406 to "fix the grammar" in the * DOC FILE //* CQX source code, mostly, for example: * DOC FILE //* L R3,16(,R3) instead of * DOC FILE //* L R3,16(R3) * DOC FILE //* and also to add some power (optionally) to purge * DOC FILE //* more jobs (include some STC's). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 18 Updates to File 415 which is RPF (Rob's Programming * DOC FILE //* Facility) from Rob Prins. Rob improved the package * DOC FILE //* by four releases, to V1R7M1. This package offers * DOC FILE //* an ISPF-like editor from TSO READY mode, and it also * DOC FILE //* has quite a number of other programming facilities, * DOC FILE //* somewhat similar to ISPF, and a PANVALET and a * DOC FILE //* LIBRARIAN option, to edit files directly from them. * DOC FILE //* Much improved screen size support. Added HEX mode * DOC FILE //* browsing. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 19 Updates to File 434 from Mark Zelden. Updates to: * DOC FILE //* CMD34, IPLINFO, ONEPAK22, TWOPAK22. * DOC FILE //* Addition of: TWOPAK23. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 20 Update to the documentation for File 473, which * DOC FILE //* is the CHKASVT program from Scott Finlayson, to * DOC FILE //* give attribution to Ron Robinson as well. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 21 Update to File 483 from Sam Golob, to fix the QSMS * DOC FILE //* program from several errors. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 22 Massive changes to File 488 from Jim Iannone. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 23 Massive changes to File 489 from Jim Iannone. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 24 Update to File 535 from Deru Sudibyo to enhance * DOC FILE //* the CCAT program (dynamically concatenate and * DOC FILE //* deconcatenate datasets). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 25 Update to File 536 to change Deru Sudibyo's email * DOC FILE //* address. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 26 Update to File 542 from George Pavlik to provide * DOC FILE //* helpful notes about using member SWAREQ22. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 27 Many updates to File 669 from Willy Jensen. * DOC FILE //* (Collection of REXX functions, etc.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 28 Update to the documentation of File 670, to show * DOC FILE //* Deru Sudibyo's correct email address. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 29 Updates to File 684, to make versions of the SVC * DOC FILE //* display program that are BROWSEd, EDITed, VIEWed, * DOC FILE //* and REVIEWed. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* SVCMAP Program to display the SVC table and extended * DOC FILE //* SVC's. A quick dump of the first few bytes * DOC FILE //* of each SVC is included in the display. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* SVCMAB REXX to BROWSE the output of the SVCMAP program * DOC FILE //* SVCMAE REXX to EDIT the output of the SVCMAP program * DOC FILE //* SVCMAR REXX to REVIEW the output of the SVCMAP program * DOC FILE //* SVCMAV REXX to VIEW the output of the SVCMAP program * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 30 Updates to File 731. Addition of SHOWTPVT, and * DOC FILE //* updates to TSVT8 (change the byte in TPVT+4D * DOC FILE //* as well as TSVT+6). * DOC FILE //* Update to UCBDASD from George Pavlik to show * DOC FILE //* SMS status of the volume displayed. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 31 Update to File 770 documentation, to change * DOC FILE //* Deru Sudibyo's email address. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 32 Update to File 797 to add source for SHOWTPVT * DOC FILE //* (it's useful in several places) and to update * DOC FILE //* the load library. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 33 Updates to File 804 (the Jump Instruction version * DOC FILE //* of TAPEMAP) by Rich Hobt, et al. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 34 Updates to File 826 to add the WAITT program. * DOC FILE //* (change the JWT Job Wait Time of your address * DOC FILE //* space) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 35 Some fixes to File 830, which are Xephon MVS * DOC FILE //* articles bulk-uploaded by Eugene Vogt from the * DOC FILE //* old Xephon website preserved at archive.org. * DOC FILE //* His raw file is File 814, and I worked on the * DOC FILE //* data, copied to File 830, to fix as many character * DOC FILE //* misrepresentations as possible, so the programs * DOC FILE //* will be able to be used with less effort. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 36 Update to File 835, to fix PPTD so it produces * DOC FILE //* proper and meaningful return codes in Register 15. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 37 Many updates to File 836, to get more programs * DOC FILE //* from old Xephon MVS articles to work on z/OS (2.3). * DOC FILE //* See member @FILE836 for details. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 38 Update to File 873 from George Pavlik, to get * DOC FILE //* ULUDASD to show if a volume is SMS-managed. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 39 Update to File 874, which is a large number of HELP * DOC FILE //* members for CBT-based utilities, to add more HELP * DOC FILE //* members. The idea is to look through the HELP * DOC FILE //* members to see if such a program would be useful * DOC FILE //* to you, and then go ahead and install it. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 40 Update to File 895 from Lionel Dyck, to add * DOC FILE //* documentation for STEMEDIT. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 41 Miniscule change to File 898, but this is an * DOC FILE //* important file, because it is Alex Kara's life * DOC FILE //* work. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 42 Update to File 900 to the SHAx programs, to * DOC FILE //* support EAV volumes. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 43 Update to File 917 by Peter Glanzmann, to fix * DOC FILE //* George DeLuca's SELECTIT program for EAV volumes. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 44 Update to File 948 from Duc Tuan Nguyen, to fix * DOC FILE //* his PDS2SEQ program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 45 Update to File 951 from Peter Glanzmann, to make a * DOC FILE //* few fixes to Nick Light's GDGP program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 46 Update to File 953 from John Gateley, to add a * DOC FILE //* bunch of programs and fix a few more.

Moshix adds more * DOC FILE //* videos to his collection, and we have to keep up. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 51 Addition of File 981 from Larry Zuckett, to * DOC FILE //* contain some of his REXX utilities. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 52 Addition of File 982 from Clem Clarke. This file * DOC FILE //* contains his famous JOL package. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 53 Addition of File 983 from (the late) Ken Tomiak, * DOC FILE //* and contans his MSIC system for installing software * DOC FILE //* packages. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 54 Addition of File 984 from Ken Tomiak, which * DOC FILE //* contains a large collection of his REXX execs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 55 Addition of File 985 from Marius Lewin and contains * DOC FILE //* a collection of his REXX execs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 56 Addition of File 986 from Willy Jensen, which * DOC FILE //* contains an easy package for putting PUTLINE TSO * DOC FILE //* output into a program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 57 Addition of File 987, which contains some programs * DOC FILE //* from the Naspa VIP tape, which were fixed to work * DOC FILE //* on z/OS. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 58 Addition of File 988 from Shmuel (Seymour J) Metz, * DOC FILE //* which contains his original Core Storage zapping * DOC FILE //* program written for OS/360 and SVS. Purpose of * DOC FILE //* including it here are for the people who run the * DOC FILE //* Turnkey OS360 system, or else to provide a basis * DOC FILE //* for modifications, to get it to work on later * DOC FILE //* systems. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 59 Addition of File 989 from Willy Jensen, which * DOC FILE //* contains a magnificent package called FINDMEM. * DOC FILE //* When you set this up on your system, you just * DOC FILE //* have to give it a pds member name, and IT WILL * DOC FILE //* FIND EVERY SINGLE DATASET, CATALOGED, OR * DOC FILE //* UNCATALOGED, WHICH CONTAINS THAT MEMBER NAME. * DOC FILE //* Stupendous.....!!!!! * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 60 Addition of File 990 from Lionel Dyck, which * DOC FILE //* contains a guide for ISPF Developers, with many * DOC FILE //* details. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE//***SECTION V-496 SECTION * DOC FILE //* V-496 CHANGES FOR VERSION 496 NOV 11, 2018 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* A One of my email addresses has disappeared completely * DOC FILE //* and I cannot recover any mail sent to there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* Please use sbgolob@cbttape.org to email me. * DOC FILE //* ( sbgolob@attglobal.net has disappeared ) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* Please try not to use sbgolob@att.net because I * DOC FILE //* seldom look there.

Files that needed updating due to * DOC FILE //* this (late) change, are: 008, 035, 093, 135, 172, * DOC FILE //* 182, 316, 371, and 612 (at least). I will have * DOC FILE //* to look at file 860 to see if it warrants updating. * DOC FILE //* This was a last-minute update to this tape version, * DOC FILE //* done when I noticed that we were losing source code * DOC FILE //* aliases. (Load module alias are OK, because we * DOC FILE //* use IEBCOPY to put them on the "tape".) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 1 Updates to File 006 and 008 as usual, to bring * DOC FILE //* them up to levels appropriate for this tape * DOC FILE //* version. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 2 Updates to File 035 with fixes for PDSUR from * DOC FILE //* Peter Glanzmann and an update to PDS 8.6 from * DOC FILE //* John Kalinich. * DOC FILE //* VERSION 8.6.17.6 OCTOBER 26, 2018 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 2A Update to File 093 to allow LISTPDS to punch * DOC FILE //* ./ ALIAS cards, if you invoke it with a parm * DOC FILE //* of 'ALIAS' (in addition to the other parms there). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 3 Update to File 119 from Andreas Freybier, to remove * DOC FILE //* redundant code from the CLR3270 program source. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 4 Update to File 134 from Greg Price to bring REVIEW * DOC FILE //* to level 48.4, and to fix a problem in XVTCLIST. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 5 Update to File 135 to bring the PDS programs, with * DOC FILE //* ISO date option, to level 8.6.17.6, and to bring * DOC FILE //* REVIEW to level 48.4. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 6 Update to File 160 to substitute Jeff Broido's * DOC FILE //* modification of FREEALL for Chuck Hoffman's original * DOC FILE //* version.

There is a * DOC FILE //* problem when sending a message (to another TSO * DOC FILE //* userid) with TO, from an ISPF command line, because * DOC FILE //* ISPF always checks for an even number of quotes * DOC FILE //* in the command line. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 11 Updates to File 312 from Lionel Dyck, with the * DOC FILE //* following members either changed or added: * DOC FILE //* EXTISPF FTPB IPLTCHK IPLTCHK$ LPRPRINT LSTPRC$ * DOC FILE //* LSTPROC3 OMVSCOPY OMVSMAN OMVSSEL PLPISPF PLPISPF$ * DOC FILE //* PRMCK PRMCK$ QTAB RANDSTR RUNC * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 12 Updates to File 313 from Lionel Dyck, with the * DOC FILE //* following members either changed or added: * DOC FILE //* SAVELAB SDSFEXT TRYIT TSOPROF * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 13 Updates to File 314 from Lionel Dyck, with the * DOC FILE //* following members either changed or added: * DOC FILE //* USSBATCH XMITIP XMITIP$ XMITIP# XMITIP@ * DOC FILE //* XMITIPR ZFSTOOLS ZSTART ZSYNC ZTSOHELP * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 14 Update to File 316 from Sam Golob, to replace the * DOC FILE //* version of PDSMATCH that was there, with the fixed * DOC FILE //* version of PDSMATCH that is in CBT File 357. * DOC FILE //* Replace LISTPDS with new version (8.4) that can * DOC FILE //* punch ./ ALIAS cards with a PARM of 'ALIAS'. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 15 Update to File 349 from Willy Jensen, to revise * DOC FILE //* most of the contents of this file. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 15A Update to File 371, to rename old load modules * DOC FILE //* LISTPDS and PDSLOAD, and add newer versions of * DOC FILE //* the same programs.

If you have z/OS 2.3, you should * DOC FILE //* use load module TXI (maybe renamed to MXI) instead * DOC FILE //* of load module MXI. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 18 Update to File 423 to include a few more programs * DOC FILE //* written by this author, and to correct a typo in * DOC FILE //* the VTPUT macro. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 19 Update to File 434 from Mark Zelden to introduce * DOC FILE //* ONEPAK and TWOPAK jobs for z/OS 2.2 and 2.3. Also * DOC FILE //* to modify members IPLINFO and SDSF@DR. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 20 Update to File 437 to supply a zap for Jan Jaeger's * DOC FILE //* NODSI program, not to require a RACF FACILITY CLASS * DOC FILE //* profile in order to run. It still needs APF * DOC FILE //* authorization, but the zap bypasses the RACF * DOC FILE //* requirement. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 21 Update to File 452 from Dan Dalby, which is a * DOC FILE //* refresh of the entire library. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 22 Update to File 496 from Marty Kuntz, to modify * DOC FILE //* the TIOT REXX exec (displaying dataset allocations * DOC FILE //* under TSO). Previous mod was from Ken MacKenzie. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 23 Update to File 566 from Sam Bass, to fix the tape * DOC FILE //* copying program COPYTPX with backend program * DOC FILE //* RTAPE2, so that it will copy tapes with up to * DOC FILE //* 256K block sizes. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 24 Minor modification to File 612. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 25 Doc modification to File 615. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 26 Update to File 617 from Pedro Berrios. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 27 Big update to File 669 from Willy Jensen. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 28 Update to File 683 which was found to be IBM * DOC FILE //* copyrighted material. But this resulted in a big * DOC FILE //* improvement to the file, because the IBM website * DOC FILE //* containing the BPXSTOP exec, also contains a huge * DOC FILE //* number of other programs, and we provide a list * DOC FILE //* of all the directories here, and how to download * DOC FILE //* everything from them. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 29 Update to File 716 from Lionel Dyck and John * DOC FILE //* Kalinich, providing a big enhancement to the * DOC FILE //* ENQ REXX exec. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 30 Update to File 731 from Sam Golob to include the * DOC FILE //* DVAT program (list in-core information about the * DOC FILE //* current VATLSTxx PARMLIB settings). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 31 Very minor change to File 803. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 32 Updates to File 926 which is the AMORT program * DOC FILE //* from Philip Polchinsky. The program didn't change, * DOC FILE //* but the COBOL compilers did, and we have added * DOC FILE //* compliles and linkedits of the AMORT program for * DOC FILE //* COBOL 5.1 and 6.2 (XMIT-format PDSE's). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 33 Update to File 939 from Ze'ev Atlas, which is a * DOC FILE //* z/OS port of PCRE 10.32 (Perl Compatible Regular * DOC FILE //* Expressions). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 34 Update to File 941 from Gregory Bliznets to improve * DOC FILE //* many of his programs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 35 Update to File 948 from Duc Tuan Nguyen, which * DOC FILE //* is a considerable change to his SMF extraction * DOC FILE //* programs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 36 Update to File 949 from Peter Glanzmann to make * DOC FILE //* some improvements to the PDSUR program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 37 Update to File 953 from John Gateley, which is * DOC FILE //* almost a complete reshipment. Notable are the * DOC FILE //* updates to his macro library, which while used * DOC FILE //* by the programs in his collection, are also of * DOC FILE //* general applicability. So you should keep an * DOC FILE //* eye on his macros, as well. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 38 Minor doc file updates to File 957. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 39 Update to File 961 from Yves Colliard. This is a * DOC FILE //* considerable update to his YCLMAC macro collection. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 40 Update to File 966 from Steve Myers. This is an * DOC FILE //* update to his (original) TSO prompter for the * DOC FILE //* HLASM assembler. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 41 Updates to File 969 from Lionel Dyck, which is * DOC FILE //* the amazing PDSEGEN package, that manipulates and * DOC FILE //* handles PDSE Version 2 member generations, probably * DOC FILE //* better than any other utility, including anything * DOC FILE //* from IBM. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 42 Addition of File 970 from (the late) Ken Tomiak, * DOC FILE //* which is a reworking of RCNVTCAT to make it nicer. * DOC FILE //* This version runs best in batch, and is renamed as * DOC FILE //* TCNVTCAT to eliminate confusion with other varieties * DOC FILE //* of RCNVTCAT. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 43 Addition of File 971 from "The Updater" and from * DOC FILE //* Gerhard Postpischil. This is an assembler program * DOC FILE //* called EMPTYTST, which is designed to run in a * DOC FILE //* batch jobstream, and to test if the dataset output * DOC FILE //* from a job step, is an empty dataset, or not. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 44 Addition of File 972 from (the late) Ken Tomiak, * DOC FILE //* and it is an original (huge) edit macro package * DOC FILE //* called GENIE, which is supposed to do the same type * DOC FILE //* of function as IBM's MODEL edit macro, except that * DOC FILE //* GENIE is much more customizable. A later version * DOC FILE //* of GENIE is on File 978, which Ken worked on heavily * DOC FILE //* in his last months. (Perhaps you should use that * DOC FILE //* version.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 45 Addition of File 973 from Jay Moseley, which * DOC FILE //* contains the WATFIV Fortran compiler and library * DOC FILE //* from the University of Waterloo. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 46 Addition of File 974 from Jamie Gibson, which * DOC FILE //* contains a rewrite of the TSSO console automation * DOC FILE //* facility. This package uses enhanced console * DOC FILE //* support instead of the subsystem interface. * DOC FILE //* The program is called AOF (Automated Operations * DOC FILE //* Facility). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 47 Addition of File 975 from Cristian Casares which * DOC FILE //* contains a COBOL program that will be useful to * DOC FILE //* COBOL programers. * DOC FILE //* THIS PGM CALCULATES THE AMOUNT OF RESERVED WORDS * DOC FILE //* IN A COBOL ENTERPRISE 3.4.0 PGM. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* LIST ON A SYSOUT: * DOC FILE //* -TOTAL OF FOUND WORDS * DOC FILE //* -TOTAL OF RESERVED WORDS(1) * DOC FILE //* -TOTAL OF COMMENTS * DOC FILE //* -TOTAL OF LINES READ * DOC FILE //* -(EACH RESERVED WORD) W/ITS TOTAL AND PERCENTAGE * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 48 Addition of File 976 from Larry Zuckett which is * DOC FILE //* a program called USYNC, which can easily add a * DOC FILE //* userid entry into the active SYS1.BRODCAST. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 49 Addition of File 977 from Moshe Bar, which contains * DOC FILE //* a table of URL's for his fabulous videos on YouTube * DOC FILE //* pertaining to MVS, VM, VSE on Hercules, as well as * DOC FILE //* z/OS. You can go to YouTube directly at URL: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* https://www.youtube.com/user/moshe5760/videos * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* and see his current list of videos (there are over * DOC FILE //* 90 of them so far), but here, the exact URL for * DOC FILE //* each video is put in a table for you to copy, and * DOC FILE //* go to, just in case it disappears on the HTML. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* This list is constantly being added to, and you * DOC FILE //* should always get the latest version of this file * DOC FILE //* from the "Updates" page of www.cbttape.org, or * DOC FILE //* look at the YouTube URL just above. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 50 Addition of File 978 from Sam Golob, which contains * DOC FILE //* Ken Tomiak's last "working copy" of his GENIE edit * DOC FILE //* macro. Ken did a lot of work on this package after * DOC FILE //* the version that is on File 972, and I don't want * DOC FILE //* the tremendous efforts (of a very very skilled * DOC FILE //* programmer) to be lost. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 51 Addition of File 979 from Sam Golob, which is a * DOC FILE //* self-contained package, designed to run on a PC, * DOC FILE //* which will teach you how to use the ZZSA standalone * DOC FILE //* program from Jan Jaeger (Files 437 and 538). An * DOC FILE //* entire Hercules emulator is included here, with a * DOC FILE //* config file that will run ZZSA only, on a sample * DOC FILE //* 5-cylinder minidisk, so you can practice using all * DOC FILE //* the ZZSA functions. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 52 Addition of File 980 from Vladimir Mironov, which * DOC FILE //* contains a zap to fix the latest TASID load module * DOC FILE //* (property of IBM) so that the "display initiators" * DOC FILE //* option 4, will work on z/OS 2.2 and 2.3 systems. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* The latest TASID load module can be obtained from: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24009131 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE//***SECTION V-495 SECTION * DOC FILE //* V-495 CHANGES FOR VERSION 495 JAN 15, 2018 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* A Sometimes I put one program or utility into several * DOC FILE //* different files on the CBT Tape. The reason is that * DOC FILE //* if someone has access to only one file, I feel that * DOC FILE //* the file should be as self-contained as possible, * DOC FILE //* and that the user shouldn't have to scrounge around * DOC FILE //* on the rest of the CBT Tape for the missing pieces. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* I can usually spot all the occurrences of a program * DOC FILE //* on the CBT Tape by looking at a TAPEMAP report of * DOC FILE //* the tape. If I haven't updated a copy of a program * DOC FILE //* on a file somewhere, please let me know. Sometimes * DOC FILE //* there is a good reason for it. Sometimes it is just * DOC FILE //* that I didn't notice it. Please ask about anything * DOC FILE //* you see, which you may have a question about. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* email: sbgolob@cbttape.org * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* B One of my email addresses has disappeared completely * DOC FILE //* and I cannot recover any mail sent to there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* Please use sbgolob@cbttape.org or sbgolob@att.net * DOC FILE //* ( sbgolob@attglobal.net has disappeared ) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 1 Updates to File 006 and 008 as usual, to bring * DOC FILE //* them up to levels appropriate for this tape * DOC FILE //* version. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 2 Updates to File 035. The following members have * DOC FILE //* been updated: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* CBTUPD - anticipation of 4-digit CBT file numbers * DOC FILE //* CKIEBGEN - improvements in record selection logic * DOC FILE //* fix a few other bugs * DOC FILE //* CKIEBG07 - older version of CKIEBGEN * DOC FILE //* DOCFILE - anticipation of 4-digit CBT file numbers * DOC FILE //* PDS - VERSION 8.6.16.1 DECEMBER 29, 2017 * DOC FILE //* PDS38 - VERSION 8.6.16.1 DECEMBER 29, 2017 * DOC FILE //* PDS86 - VERSION 8.6.16.1 DECEMBER 29, 2017 * DOC FILE //* PDS86I - VERSION 8.6.16.1 DECEMBER 29, 2017 * DOC FILE //* PDS8638 - VERSION 8.6.16.1 DECEMBER 29, 2017 * DOC FILE //* STEPLIB - change support email address * DOC FILE //* TSUB - nullify (not blank) a table entry * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 3 Update to File 119.

Also wrote some doc * DOC FILE //* about how to change the ISPF command table entries * DOC FILE //* generated by the FASTPATH command (member FASTPMOD). * DOC FILE //* Changed FASTPATH source to require UTIL without * DOC FILE //* abbreviation, to invoke IBM's ISRUTIL panel, * DOC FILE //* because "UT" gets in the way of the PDS 8.6 command * DOC FILE //* UT to invoke PDS's own utility panels. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 9 Update to File 185 to LOADLIB. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 10 Update to File 229 to bring CKIEBGEN to Level 8, * DOC FILE //* and to fix my email addresses (as per item 0 above). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 11 Update to File 247 to add a version of LPSCB which * DOC FILE //* is updated to handle 8-character TSO userids. The * DOC FILE //* PSCBUSER and UPTPREFX fields are now not used when * DOC FILE //* an 8-character TSO userid is defined, and new fields * DOC FILE //* have been added instead, to replace them. Also * DOC FILE //* my secondary email address has been changed to: * DOC FILE //* sbgolob@att.net * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 12 Update to File 264 from Joe Reichman to modify LOOK * DOC FILE //* so that it doesn't get a S0C4 when you enter a bad * DOC FILE //* address. Other improvements--use IEAMSCHD instead * DOC FILE //* of SCHEDULE to issue the SRB for cross-memory * DOC FILE //* access, etc. Previous versions now labeled as * DOC FILE //* LOOK00, LOOK01, LOOK02. Current version is LOOKJ. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 13 Update to File 293 with massive corrections to the * DOC FILE //* SKIP= and COPY= processing in the CKIEBGEN program. * DOC FILE //* Also made meaningful return-code processing in * DOC FILE //* CKIEBGEN, and fixed reporting for missing RECFM if * DOC FILE //* that condition has occurred. Also added MAKERCDS * DOC FILE //* program to generate any number of numbered 12-byte * DOC FILE //* records (used to test the SKIP and COPY code to see * DOC FILE //* how many records got copied, and which ones). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 14 Update to File 296. DSAT, RELEASE, and XEQ were * DOC FILE //* fixed to accommodate 8-character TSO prefixes, for * DOC FILE //* 8-character userid support in z/OS 2.3. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 15 Continuing a big effort to update programs in File * DOC FILE //* 300 to run on z/OS. The following programs were * DOC FILE //* fixed or updated: * DOC FILE //* CALCINST CMDLOFF COUNT COUNT2 DD DSPRINT DUSER * DOC FILE //* LIBCALL LPSCB MEMBER SCRATCH SCRAT24 SHOWDS SHOWSS * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 16 Many changes to File 312 from Lionel Dyck and * DOC FILE //* others.

Now TSSO was made to use the * DOC FILE //* IEFPRMLB service to find the TSSOPARM member in * DOC FILE //* whichever PARMLIB library it happens to be. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 22 Updates to File 411 and 412 by Rob Scott. Modules * DOC FILE //* updated were: DDDEFCHK DDDEFPTH * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 23 Updates to File 434 from Mark Zelden, to add * DOC FILE //* RXSMF30 and to update IPLINFO. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 24 Update to File 480 which is Baldomero Castilla's * DOC FILE //* file, from Sam Golob, to put the latest version * DOC FILE //* of the CKIEBGEN program there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 25 Update to File 481 which is Baldomero Castilla's * DOC FILE //* load library, to put the latest load module for * DOC FILE //* the CKIEBGEN program there. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 26 Two updates to File 534, one to accommodate EAV * DOC FILE //* volumes, and the other to accommodate big TSO * DOC FILE //* screens, in the SPACE command from Paul Dion. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 27 Numerous updates to File 566 (Sam Bass's file) * DOC FILE //* many of which were to convert TSO commands from * DOC FILE //* TPUT to PUTLINE output. And since PUTLINE output * DOC FILE //* is trappable, Mark Zelden's TSOx trapping commands * DOC FILE //* were added as well. Fix to ZAPDSCB to correct a * DOC FILE //* Y2K problem when resetting dates in the VTOC. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 28 Updates to File 617 from Pedro Berrios. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 29 Update to File 659 to add Hercules 3.12. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 30 Updates to File 669 from Willy Jensen, for his * DOC FILE //* package to store REXX variables for use later. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 31 Updates to File 731 which is a collection of TSO * DOC FILE //* programs from Sam Golob, many APF-authorized. * DOC FILE //* Programs added or modified: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* ALLIDS - Show TSO session's userid in many places * DOC FILE //* BYE - Tool to manipulate the TSO RELOGON buffer * DOC FILE //* CPFX - Tool to create 8-character TSO prefixes * DOC FILE //* LOADLIB - Updated load library * DOC FILE //* MEMBER - Show attributes of a pds member * DOC FILE //* NOLOGOF - Turn off the "force logoff" bit of RLGB * DOC FILE //* RELOGON - Force a RELOGON of your TSO userid * DOC FILE //* SHOWRLGB - Show everything about the Relogon Buffer * DOC FILE //* TSVT8 - Turn on/off 8-character userid support * DOC FILE //* YESLOGOF - Turn on the "force logoff bit of the RLGB * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 32 Update to File 789 from Al Ferguson, to his programs * DOC FILE //* that help in running IBM's SCRT process (Sub- * DOC FILE //* Capacity Reporting Tool). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 33 Update to File 797 to allow TSUB to nullify a * DOC FILE //* table entry in the middle of the table. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 34 Update to File 826 to allow CNCLPG to "correctly" * DOC FILE //* transwap an address space, or to make it * DOC FILE //* non-memtermable, or memtermable. If you can't * DOC FILE //* get rid of an address space with BURN, then you * DOC FILE //* can KILL it, and it should get rid of any address * DOC FILE //* space. (Something to try if a FORCE operator * DOC FILE //* command doesn't work.) Add a "TSO authority" * DOC FILE //* requirement to run the command. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 35 Update to File 831 to fix CONCATPG for 8-character * DOC FILE //* TSO prefixes in z/OS 2.3 and higher. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 36 Update to File 889 to include 32-bit and 64-bit * DOC FILE //* versions of Hercules 3.12 for Windows. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 37 Update to File 890 (SIMULA programming language) * DOC FILE //* to change Peter Sylvester's email address. * DOC FILE //* Peter was one of the last maintainers of the SIMULA * DOC FILE //* programming language. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 38 Update to File 895 from Rainer Nowak to make * DOC FILE //* some modifications to Gilbert Saint-flour's * DOC FILE //* STEMEDIT program as well as some other things * DOC FILE //* that are related. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 39 Update to File 900 to fix the SHA*** programs * DOC FILE //* for 8-character TSO prefixes, and to add the * DOC FILE //* SHA224S program. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 40 Update to File 939 from Ze'ev Atlas, to upgrade * DOC FILE //* PCRE (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions) v2, * DOC FILE //* to level 10.30A, in the port to z/OS. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 41 Update to File 948 from Duc Tuan Nguyen, to upgrade * DOC FILE //* his collection of REXX execs. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 42 Update to File 950 from Norbert Haas, to add the * DOC FILE //* RULER exec, which can put a ruler anywhere within * DOC FILE //* an ISPF edit, like the COLS line command in ISPF, * DOC FILE //* except that you can start the RULER, anywhere in * DOC FILE //* the edit screen, not just in column 1. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 43 A large update to File 953 from John Gateley, to * DOC FILE //* add and improve his programs. Members changed are: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* CHKAUTH GENDSN$$ GETCNCAT GETDSNAM LISTAPF MACLIB * DOC FILE //* STRINGIT PROCSTEM STEMSORT STEMSR15 STEMSR35 * DOC FILE //* TRIMIT TRYAUTH TRYGDSN TRYSTEM * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 44 Addition of File 954 which is the CSCF program * DOC FILE //* to change the attributes of a running address * DOC FILE //* space. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 45 Addition of File 955 from John C. Miller, which * DOC FILE //* contains his remote logging facility. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 46 Addition of File 956 from Steve Myers, which * DOC FILE //* contains programs to show dataset access by userid * DOC FILE //* from SMF data. The DSREF program produces reports * DOC FILE //* showing dataset access by userid, using SMF 14, * DOC FILE //* 15 and 30 records. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 47 Addition of File 957 from Seymour (Shmuel) Metz, * DOC FILE //* and contains source code for the IEBUPDTX program, * DOC FILE //* and a very large collection of macros. * DOC FILE //* This file represents a lot of complicated work done * DOC FILE //* in the early 1970's and which still is useful. * DOC FILE //* There is other code here, as well. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 48 Addition of File 958 from Sam Golob, which contains * DOC FILE //* programs that will hopefully show you anything you * DOC FILE //* want to know about the TSO RELOGON BUFFER, and will * DOC FILE //* hopefully allow you to change it in any way that * DOC FILE //* you would like. The BYE program was written by * DOC FILE //* "Updater". * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 49 Addition of File 959 from Richard W. Pinion and * DOC FILE //* contains a program to release excess space from a * DOC FILE //* list of datasets (by name), without affecting the * DOC FILE //* last-access date. This program uses the PARTREL * DOC FILE //* macro, and is itself, named PARTREL. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 50 Addition of File 960 from Al Ferguson which contains * DOC FILE //* many REXX execs with their accompanying techniques, * DOC FILE //* to get a large variety of jobs done. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 51 Addition of File 961 from Yves Colliard and contains * DOC FILE //* a collection of ISPF commands which can be added * DOC FILE //* to your session. * DOC FILE //* YCLMAC - A collection of user line commands * DOC FILE //* for use in ISPF Edit and View * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 52 Addition of File 962 which is from Bud Randall, * DOC FILE //* and contains an ISPF interface to mount and * DOC FILE //* unmount UNIX files. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 53 Addition of File 963 from Al Ferguson which * DOC FILE //* contains a package to dynamically allocate and * DOC FILE //* deallocate datasets when needed by an ISPF * DOC FILE //* application. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 54 Addition of File 964 which is from Steve Kleeves by * DOC FILE //* way of John Kalinich, and which contains a package * DOC FILE //* to display the characteristics of VSAM datasets, * DOC FILE //* from both an ISPF 3.4 screen, and from the * DOC FILE //* PDS 8.6 command's LISTC/LISTF screen. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 55 Addition of File 965 from John McKown which is a * DOC FILE //* port of SQLITE 3.21.0 to z/OS. The current state * DOC FILE //* of this package is described in the member * DOC FILE //* @FILE965. This is version 3.21.0 of SQLITE. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* Older versions of this port can be found on: * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* CBT File 897 - Version 3.8 * DOC FILE //* CBT File 923 - Version 3.8.7 * DOC FILE //* CBT File 935 - Version 3.8.11 * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 56 Addition of File 966 from Steve Myers and contains * DOC FILE //* a TSO command called HLASM which is a full TSO * DOC FILE //* prompter for the High Level Assembler (ASMA90). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 57 Addition of File 967 from Tom Conley, which is * DOC FILE //* establishing a file to be updated by the SHARE * DOC FILE //* ISPF group. This file will be called CUIC * DOC FILE //* (CBT ISPF Usermods Collection). * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* IBM's investment in ISPF has steadily dwindled * DOC FILE //* since z/OS V2R1, while investment in z/OSMF has * DOC FILE //* vastly increased. There is still a user community * DOC FILE //* for ISPF that requires increased function. The * DOC FILE //* goal of this collection will be to provide * DOC FILE //* that function wherever possible. * DOC FILE //* Tom Conley, in his position as SHARE's ISPF * DOC FILE //* Advocate, is establishing this collection to * DOC FILE //* provide function that will in all likelihoood * DOC FILE //* not be provided by IBM. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 58 Addition of File 968 from John McKown, which * DOC FILE //* contains a REXX exec named SYSPARM, that does * DOC FILE //* an ISRDDN-like display of the PARMLIB concatenation * DOC FILE //* on your system. (Akin to the LSTPROC REXX exec * DOC FILE //* from Lionel Dyck on File 312, which shows your * DOC FILE //* PROCLIB concatenation.) * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE //* 59 Addition of File 969 which contains the PDSEGEN * DOC FILE //* multi-utility from Lionel Dyck, to manipulate PDSE * DOC FILE //* V2 member generations. IBM's support of PDSE V2 * DOC FILE //* member generations is woefully inadequate at * DOC FILE //* present, and this package does an excellent job to * DOC FILE //* fill their gap in support. This file has been * DOC FILE //* separated from File 312, where it previously * DOC FILE //* resided. * DOC FILE //* * DOC FILE
