Sorry to delay replying.? Busy week!

Thanks for all the replies.

Harry Mernick was a senior programmer in? an office of (mostly) systems programmers at Nasty Wetmonster in London. He was due to retire in the 1990s.

We also had Steffen Fraas, who was well known in the JES3 world.

I remember hearing of ACE TEST, but I never got to try it.

DDT sounds good. I'll look at it when I've backed up :-)

The alternative is to write my own. But my memory of 3270 datastreams is half gone-it took me an hour or 2 just to clear the screen and get "Hello, world!" in full screen mode :-)

I'll report back if I mske any progress.

Re: Fullscreen debugger for MVS 3.8J?

 

Hi Folks,

An easy way but not perfect, but it will help you.
Write the SYSUDUMP or SYSABEND to a file and browse the file with RPF.
You can set labels with the LABEL subcommand and find back with the L subcommand.

Press F1 in RPF browse for more information.

Cheers,
Rob


Re: Fullscreen debugger for MVS 3.8J?

Roops,

?

When I co-wrote Top Secret Security for MVS in 1981, I wrote an APF-authorized tester nicknamed ACETEST, similar in concept?to TSO Test but much smarter -

?

It can run as an STC, Batch job, TSO command, or best as an ISPF Application.

?

As an ISPF application, it supports full screen viewing of the PSW, registers, and memory,?and?you can edit memory simply by over-typing.

?

You can test both APF-authorized and non-authorized programs.

?

Full breakpoint support is available, and the greatest feature is that you can set a breakpoint, then go into STEP mode, which allows?you to step through code one instruction?at a time. After each instruction is executed the PSW, registers, and relevant storage areas are displayed. To step to the next instruction all you have to do is simply hit enter and the step breakpoint will move automatically to the next instruction to be executed.

?

You can?set breakpoints in code which has been loaded into CSA or SQA. You can even set a global breakpoint in?common code (except real LPA), such that when any program in any address-space hits the breakpoint, Acetest is?automatically invoked, like an intelligent SLIP trap.

?

You can test multiple programs at the same time as each program runs under its own TCB. I used to bring up IMS and CICS under?Acetest all the time. Then I could put breakpoints in Top Secret code, or in CICS code for example. I remember testing CICS MRO, and having 4 CICS regions, each running in its own address space under?Acetest, with breakpoints all over the place...

?

Acetest also has features like?FIND, which will find a data string anywhere in memory, WHERE, which will?tell you where a given address is, as in what offset in what module, or what?subpool.?All of the syntax is simple command based, like LOAD modname1, AT R3%+20, ASCB+40%, etc.

?

I automatically include ACETEST with my ISPF. If you wish I can send both to you.

?

Re: Fullscreen debugger for MVS 3.8J?

Some years ago I talked to Dave Cole at Colesoft Inc. (makers of z/XDC, IMHO the best assembler debugger on the z market) about contributing his old, pre-XA version of XDC to the Hercules/MVS3.8 project and he agreed, but then could not find any source tapes earlier than MVS/XA.? He even asked on the IBM-MAIN list for anyone who might have an old tape of his software that didn¡¯t get thrown out or reused, but no one ever came up with one.

?

He felt that his XA code was too deeply structured and dependent on XA internals for him to try to re-create the pre-XA version from the source tapes that he could find.

?

Can you tell us who Harry Mernick is/was?? A fellow employee at that bank or a software developer working for an ISV or . . . ?

?

I am told that the MVS-DDT debugger available for MVS3.8 works well, but I have not had time to delve into it myself, so I don¡¯t know if it fits your needs.

IMS 10 - psb not defined

Mike Stramba
 

I'm trying to add a new database in IMS ver 10.

I've got to the point where a /dis db mike01 shows it up.

But a /dis psb mike01pb is showing :

15.21.30 JOB00052 DFS000I MIKE01PB NOT DEFINED IN IMS IVP1
15.21.30 JOB00052 DFS000I *20307/152130* IVP1
*15.21.30 JOB00052 *05 DFS996I *IMS READY* IVP1

The dataset 'IMS1010.PSBLIB(MIKE01PB)' is there.

Any ideas ?

If it offers different types of graphics then change it.? You could also turning it off.

Re: RFE

Hi,

If you transfer an XMI file (like RFE is), the receiving file has a record length of 80.
The blksize should be a multiple of 80.
Afterwards you can transfer in binary mode file rev370ld.xmi with IND$FILE to your system.
With PDSLOAD you can copy the file to a partitioned load library.
Copy this library (with RFE 3.3 or RPF 3.3) to SYS2.CMDLIB will complete your installation.
