Hello All, does the version of PL/I that Hercules/MVS38 use support the SELECT/WHEN statement?? I get a compile errors on any SELECT statement.? Thank you, DennisIf you go to my website at : applewood.linkpc.net/files/MVS380/pdfs?? then go to folder PL1 you will find all the manuals related to PL1 and programming etc under MVS. |

Re: How to link mainprogram and subprogram in MVT Cobol
Thank you. Ok. I see in which direction it goes. In GC28-6399 COBOL_Compiler_and_Library Manual, SYSIN is not mentioned. But I found it in GC26-4061-1_MVS_370_Linkage_Editor_Users_Guide_Dec85. With this concatenation I could ad statements to the load editor:

And if I may say so. I am absolutely thrilled when I see who has replied to me. I've been a fanatical MVS/Hercules fan for 3 years and you guys are my heroes!!! And then of course there's Moshix!

Thank you,

Re: zOS shutdown in Hyperion

All the docs I’ve found give the same instruction on how to cleanly shutdown the zOS session, namelyI would only assume it would exist if running the exact z/OS system the doc was written for. Startup/shutdown procedures could vary greatly from one shop to another, especially if automation products were in use. My previous employer used AF/Operator to automate things. It intercepted some console commands, like the start and stop commands, and for tasks it was configured to control it would take the steps necessary to get the task into the desired state. For example, a P CICS command might issue a F CICSP1,CEBT P SHUTDOWN command behind the scenes. If anyone is interested in seeing a real world example from a former z/OS shop, my former employer's shutdown procedure looked something like (commands are in all upper case, comments are in mixed case): -------- Initiators ---------------------------------------- Drain the initiators: INITOFF -------- Printers ------------------------------------------ Stop the printers: $P PRT1 $P PRT4 $P PRT5 $P PRT7 -------- Batch Jobs ---------------------------------------- Cancel Jobs: Terminate any active batch jobs so CA7 and DISPATCH will have correct status. -------- CICS and IMS -------------------------------------- Stop GROUP4 tasks Use command 'D GROUP4' to display desired and actual status. Stop all CICS regions by issuing commands: P CICS P CICSA P CICSB P CICSC P CICSD Wait for the CICS regions to terminate. Status can be checked by issuing the 'D GROUP4' command. After the CICS regions have terminated, stop the IMS regions with commands: P IMSPDBC P IMSTDBC P IMSXDBC Wait for the IMS regions to terminate. Wait for GROUP4 tasks to complete termination. Use command 'D GROUP4' to display desired and actual status. Note any tasks which have to be cancelled. -------- Post-VTAM Tasks ----------------------------------- After the GROUP4 tasks have completed termination, stop the GROUP3 tasks. P GROUP3 Wait for GROUP3 tasks to complete termination. Use command 'D GROUP3' to display desired and actual status. Note any tasks which have to be cancelled. -------- DISPATCH and CA7 ---------------------------------- After the GROUP3 tasks have completed termination, stop the GROUP2 tasks. Ensure ALL batch jobs are complete so CA7 will have complete status. Cancel any remaining batch jobs. P GROUP2 Wait for GROUP2 tasks to complete termination. Use command 'D GROUP2' to display desired and actual status. Note any tasks whcih have to be cancelled. -------- VTAM and Pre-VTAM Tasks---------------------------- After the GROUP2 tasks have completed termination, stop the GROUP1 tasks. P GROUP1 Wait for GROUP1 tasks to complete termination. Use command 'D GROUP1' to display desired and actual status. Note any tasks which have to be cancelled. After all GROUP1 tasks have stopped, display AFOPER status.

Re: zOS shutdown in Hyperion
All the docs I’ve found give the same instruction on how to cleanly shutdown the zOS session, namely
# in "system" terminal: S SHUTSYS Z EOD # then, once finished, in Hercules: exit So I assume it should exist.

Re: DLI loading on Tk4 and MVSCE?
Allan, yes, that's a pretty good summary of why you'd probably have to be insane to try to get IMS/360 DL/I (especially what appears to be a beta version) working on MVS.
?
Which I suppose is where I come in. Looks like a nice little project to me, especially as there's no pressure or a given target date. I can take as much time as I like.
?
As far as the OSAM DCB is concerned, I imported an MVT copy of SYS.1.MACLIB into MVS, and used it for the IMSGEN, PSBGEN, and DBDGEN. Has worked fine so far.
?
The OSAM SVC was no problem. For convenience, I copied it into SYS1.LPALIB as SVC 233, an unused Type 4 slot on TK4-, and it's working fine. It's a very small piece of code that, as far vas I can see, should run as any SVC type.
?
The matter of the OSAM channel-end appendage and the IEAAPP00 SYS1.PARMLIB member was straightforward to address. I created the IEAAPP00 member with some help from the good folk on this forum.
?
At that point, DL/I loaded up a database with new main segments. But, as I had expected, in the next test the load of dependent segements into the OSAM file failed because the OSAM DEB had been GETMAINed from the wrong subpool (from subpool zero, when in MVS it should be subpool 230). The offending module is DFSIOS10, but the source code that we have is incomplete. So my next task is to use a disassembler (as supplied to me by the ever-helpful Jay Moseley) to make changes to that module. No doubt there will be more problems to solve after that. I think this little project is going to give me something interesting to do for some time yet.
?
Regards, JJ
?
P.S. Is there is user guide available anywhere for RECV370? Darned if I can remember how to use it. Thanks. |

Re: zOS shutdown in Hyperion
I'm definitely doing something wrong.? I'm trying to run 2.5 and can only re-ipl by doing a quiesce first.
?
I can only see two terminals (0060,0061) and 0060 is used for the console.
Also, there's no printer defined and 00E/00F do not exist.? Do I need to gen additional hardware with HCD?
?
Can I pick your brain off list?
?
PS-I'm an MVS newbie! |

Can somebody please explain, whats the purpose of the DD DDNAME=SYSIN statement here? What does it reference to? It is a concatenation statement for SYSLIN, typically to provide linker statements which, for example, would allow you to link/edit your main object module (the one defined by SYSLIN) with some other object module(s) from an other library, or to name the final object module produced by the linker.
?
If you don't need it, you can ignore it. This will generate a warning but the link/edit will proceed normally.

Quick guess is that you do NOT have a procedure installed called shutsys

May be need to look for the correct way - I seem to recall I had to run a few procedures to close everything down before doing the final quiesce? or something similar but may be spelt differently - it was a few years ago :) There is NOT a one process that does it all i,e similar to TK4 or 5 and I would have to reread the manual/book for it - a RED BOOK being but one.
