Re: Where to find the output of a COBOL program?

 

I think I said this before but I don't see my email. Another options to see
your DISPLAYs (if you want to see them in the MVS session log) is to code
them as:

DISPLAY ...(your variable or message)... UPON CONSOLE.

Re: Where to find the output of a COBOL program?

 

The other way to see your DISPLAYs is to use MSGCLASS=C (on my
MVS3.8j/Hercules System this is the "held" output sysout class) and change
your Go.SYSOUT to be:
//GO.SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

This results in the SYSOUT output using the MSGCLASS class. You should then
be able to view the DISPLAYs using RPF option 3.6 or RFE option 3.8.

Re: (OT) Posting of 3270 screen images

 

THe c3270 is very powerfull 3270 terminal emulator. I use it daily in my job to access z/OS and z/VM sessions and prepared even small macro engine in python to fast enter of user/password (dependent on the session parameters) and even small help tool showing set of commands grouped by domain: VTAM, TSO, TCPIP etc).

It is of course the curses application and grabbing the screen depends on emulator (see Putty copy/paste options or different linux teminals), but it has also own mechanizm to grab the screen.

Look into dokumentation and check PrintText action (see ).

In simple form press Ctrl-] (escape) to go to command mode and type
PrintText(file, c3270.out).

The screen snapshot (in text form) will be saved in current direcory (the directory, where you start c3270).
More advanced operations are also possible (even sending output to the linux pipe).

Another nice feature is running c3270 with http listener.
Run (if? you have emulator on the same machine - replecae 0.0.0.0 by 127.0.0.1)
c3270 -httpd 0.0.0.0:8888 localhost:3270
and go to the browser, put address where terminal is running
followed by selected port (here 8888) and you are in remote terminal control channel.

See for example:

http://<emulator-host-ip>:8888/3270/rest/text/Ascii()

From the top page you can just check screen snapshot converted to html:

http://
<emulator-host-ip>:8888/3270/screen.html

Anyway I prefer pure text screenshoot, always readable even on mutt or mailx client.

Re: (OT) Posting of 3270 screen images

 

Hi!

This topic escalated quickly! hehe...
Well, as suggested, I tried shift + click and I was able to copy from c3270 (also from PuTTy window it allowed me to copy all window log, but is a bit more complex to get a "clean" copy).

Also, from posting images... most of the times they can be zoomed, and also, there are built-in tools such as Microsoft One Note that allows to search directly among images texts (it comes with an OCR, and as our working environment provides high-contrast images, is easy for the tool to search among the text image).

Finally, just to add my two cents, on some comercial software (quick3270, openText, etc), when copying, by default it makes it on image mode, so when you paste the text you copied it just puts an image (you can of course change this behaviour, but the default is "copy as image" :-) )

As I told, I just did it to provide context; I am a bit neurodivergent, and most of the times I cannot focus on just one thing, so my explanations tend to be incomplete and/or hard to understand. By attaching a screenshot, the reader (or viewer) can have a clear context of what's going on and have all details that I (or anyone) can miss to add on the explanation.

I think it's a good point to support a post/bug report/whatever with images, because they can add some value that a 2-page-long paper maybe can't add :-)

True. But: 1) depending on your image viewer, the more you zoom,
the more blurry the text becomes, and: 2) you can't copy "text"
from an image, forcing you to manually re-type everything yourself,
which is not only a PITA but risks the introduction of typing
errors, resulting in much confusion.
And I should probably add: 3) for the truly visually impaired, the "text" that may exist in an attached screenshot (image) can't be read by most screen readers (unless you have a really sophisticated screen reader that is able to automatically OCR an image).

I'm not blind myself (just need glasses), but I can imagine the problem such screen shots might impose for those who happen to be legally blind.

Attaching screen shots for actual pictures is fine.

Attaching them for text is not.

At least in my personal opinion anyway.

As I said, no big deal. Just trying to pass on some helpful advice is all.

Thanks for mentioning that. It works in urxvt also, and is easier than then
GNU screen method I was using. Now if I can just remember that technique
until I have the opportunity to use it enough times for it to stick in my

c3270 enables "mouse reporting" in the terminal so you can use the mouse
to click around to set the cursor position, trigger the menus, etc.

Therefore, it's taking over the standard mouse behavior from your
terminal emulator, which is why it seems like you can't select text to
copy and paste.

So you need to know how your terminal emulator works.

In my case, using xterm, if I hold down the shift key, mouse events are
handled by xterm instead of being passed through to c3270. Thus, if I
hold down shift, I can highlight text in the terminal window and copy
(in my case, Ctrl-Shift-C to copy selected text from xterm).

I also know in MacOS, when using Terminal.app, you can toggle mouse
reporting with Command-R. So you can toggle mouse reporting off,
highlight and copy text as you please, then toggle mouse reporting back
on again if you want to use your mouse with your 3270 session.

Seems like a shortcoming to me, but okay, I guess that explains it then.

Posting screenshots is, on the grand scheme of things, NOT that big of a deal. It's just a minor thing, really. But *sometimes* people post screenshots where the text is quite tiny and hard to read for some people. With text, the recipient (i.e. the person reading the post) can set THEIR email/html client's font to whatever size is convenient for their aging, visually impaired eyeballs. Can't do that with screenshots unfortunately. Their size is determined by the person making the post, not the person reading their post.

That's it. Thanks for the feedback. We can end this thread now. Thanks everyone.

That seems odd, but I just found the same when I tried. Fortunately I was
running c3270 under GNU screen. After engaging GNU screen's copy/scrollback

Re: (OT) Posting of 3270 screen images

 

Hi, you can call me David :-)
I tend to post pictures because of professional defect... on the place I work we normally take screenshots for bugs/simillar documentation because are more quick and also they tend to add some information (if there's a full screenshot, you can have some contextual information such as time, date, etc); also some tools mess up/don't allow to copy-paste, so I don't even try... hehe... I just make a snapshot knowing it will work :-)

Sorry if this clogs a bit the space, I will try to get text versions for the next post.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I only ask because, as far as I know, most 3270 terminal emulators support copying text directly from the 3270 screen into your email, thereby completely eliminating the need to copy & paste screen images. Does the 3270 emulator you're using not support that?

Re: Where to find the output of a COBOL program?

 

Hello doscar.sole,

I ran your COBOL program on three different MVS systems (TK4-, an old Jay Moseley system, and MVS Community Edition) and, in all three cases, the Hello World messages get punched. Your compile/loader output is stored in class O. I don't know if it is a held class or not on your system, and whether or not a printer is connected to it. If there is no printer for that class, you can probably look at the output using QUEUE (if you have it installed). Here's the console log for the job on my (old) Jay Moseley system:

0200 15.02.19 JOB? ?69? $HASP100 R13264J? ON INTRDR
4000 15.02.19 JOB? ?69? $HASP373 R13264J? STARTED - INIT? 1 - CLASS A - SYS H155
0020 15.02.19 JOB? ?69? IEC130I SYSPUNCH DD STATEMENT MISSING
0020 15.02.19 JOB? ?69? IEC130I SYSLIB? ?DD STATEMENT MISSING
0020 15.02.20 JOB? ?69? IEC130I SYSPUNCH DD STATEMENT MISSING

C000 15.02.20? ? ? ? ? ?$HASP309? ? INIT? 1 INACTIVE *** C=A
0000 15.02.20? ? ? ? ? ?SE '$HASP165 JOB? ?69? R13264J ENDED',LOGON,USER=(R13264)
0200 15.02.20 JOB? ?69? $HASP150 R13264J? ON PUNCH1? ? ? ? ? ?3 CARDS
0200 15.02.20 JOB? ?69? $HASP150 R13264J? ON PRINTER2? ? ? ? ?7 LINES
0200 15.02.20? ? ? ? ? ?$HASP160 PUNCH1? ?INACTIVE - CLASS=B
0200 15.02.20? ? ? ? ? ?$HASP160 PRINTER2 INACTIVE - CLASS=A

You can see the message regarding the (successful) punch, which is missing for you (given your JCL, you should not have a message regarding PRINTER2 like me).

So, at this point, I would ask you to show us the output of the console command:

$du

to have an idea of the status of your (JES2 controlled) unit record devices.?

Cheers,

Rene FERLAND, Montreal

P.S. -- If you can't copy the console output, you can probably copy the proper lines in the MVS hardcopy.


Re: (OT) Posting of 3270 screen images

 

Just tested, c3270 doesn't let you select/copy text in the terminal.

Just out of curiosity doscar.sole@..., what tn3270 terminal client do you use? Tom Brennan's Vista TN3270 product? Or x3270? (wx3270, c3270, wc3270)

I only ask because, as far as I know, most 3270 terminal emulators support copying text directly from the 3270 screen into your email, thereby completely eliminating the need to copy & paste screen images. Does the 3270 emulator you're using not support that?
