Re: Probably a stupid question - concerning Master Catalog Passwords
开云体育In case anyone needs this – here is the JCL to be able to remove the Master Catalog password – this was also difficult to find, as it seems it’s not really ever used. And probably to the experienced SysProg’s, its trivial.???? This removes the password completely.?? Nice to know Doug, that I am not the only one to have experienced this issue, and yeah, I believe all error conditions need to be fully understood and documented. ?I thought the same as you, that I had simply made some mistake in the sysgen process. ? //ALTMCPW??? JOB (1),DAVE,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A //STEP01?? EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=4096K //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN??? DD * ???? ALTER SYS1.VSAM.MASTER.CATALOG - ??????? NULLIFY(UPDATEPW) // ? ? Thanks, Dave ? ? From:
<[email protected]> on behalf of Doug Wegscheid <dwegscheid@...> ? Many thanks for digging into this. I was just living with the issue and figured that I had built my MVS incorrectly; it's nice to understand what the cause is. On Tue, Jan 21, 2025 at 12:07 AM, Dave Trainor - N8ZFM wrote:

Re: Multiple OSA define
I have the Hercules helper already, but it won't get the hercules SDL 4.8 development repository. I'm on Windows 11. What I have been asking is how do I get the 4.8 development repository of Hercules SDL?

Well, first of all you need to know whether you're using Windows or some other non-Windows operating system like some version of Linux, since there are two different flavors of "Hercules Helper": one for Windows and one for Linux:

Re: Whats the best way to transfer dasd from z/os to Hercules
No soap. Blew up in the same way. I used your load module; I haven't built it from source yet, and I think I can (but I'm not 100% sure). --

Just like .PDF files have a file format version and HTML files have a file format version, so do Hercules compressed dasds too. When the compressed dasd file format was originally being developed, it went through several different variations. It finally settled at the current format, version 0.3.1. THAT is the version that should be placed into the CCKD device header. The version of the CCKDDUMP and CCKDDU64 *programs* is a completely different thing. Since this is going to be an updated fixed version of the original versions, I would suggest using something like version 1.2. Or maybe 1.0.2. The point is, when CCKDDUMP and CCKDDU64 start up, they should report their OWN version separately from the CCKD file format version they were written for. E.g: CCKDDUMP version 1.0.2 (written for CCKD file format 0.3.1) starting... CCKDDU64 version 1.0.2 (written for CCKD64 file format 0.3.1) starting... Or maybe two separate messages might be clearer: CCKDDUMP version 1.0.2 starting... Written for CCKD file format 0.3.1 CCKDDU64 version 1.0.2 starting... Written for CCKD64 file format 0.3.1 I'll let you decide how you want to handle that. Any one of: "fish" at infidels.org, "fish_david_b_trout" at comcast.net, "fish" at softdevlabs.com, or "david.b.trout" at gmail.com. Take your pick.To your email address?Where can I place the updated source?Please send it directly to me so I can be sure to get the fixed The infidels one I've had the longest. It was created probably 20+ years ago (possibly longer!) as a "permanent" email address. Email sent there just forwards it to my current ISP's account. If I ever switch to another ISP, I simply notify infidels.org, and they begin forwarding my mail to my new ISP. That's what makes it permanent. (I got tired of notifying all my friends and family and business contacts about my new email address whenever I would switch ISPs, so I just purchased a permanent one that was guaranteed to always be valid.) The comcast one is my current ISP account. The softdevlabs one is of course my official business account, and the gmail one is, well, my gmail account! I guess these days a gmail address is probably about as permanent of an email address as you can get, so I guess that one would probably be the best one to use. But really, choose any one you want. They all end up getting to me one way or the other. (I know, I know: WAY more information that you actually needed. But I like being thorough. Bad habit. So sue me.)

Re: Multiple OSA define
I don't know how else to ask for the development 4.8 version of Hercules. Does the help know I want it? And will it compile it if I don't have the source on my PC?
