Got the file no problem, thank you Jay. I will work on this after dinner.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSo now at the risk of sounding like I am whining¡¡.???? I have the JCL to install FCOOK$ ??????????????? //SYSUT1?? DD? DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.SETUP.CNTL(FCOOK$) From Volkers mvs0090 ? Can¡¯t figure out how to download SYS1.SETUP.CNTL(FCOOK$)? other than to grab a copy of his whole TK3 CD, which I did,? guess I need to actually install it to be able to access the DASD files as there is no indication where this is and assuming this is a setup JCL file what other files are necessary.? So that I can extract them to apply to my MVS 3.8j. ? Dave ?

Try tracing the conversations in Thunderbird using threaded. In my Thunderbird in a threaded view it separates them when I changed to "creating CICS help". It used to be in-consistent between creating web messages and submitting by e-mail. Web messages preserved some thread info, but it was recently made consistent. Dave |

Re: MOTD. (Message of the day)
Other than an excellent tutorial on CLIST, like most all of his web pages, I don't see anything about a MOTD script on that page.
I agree implementing this as a logon CLIST sounds like the way to do it. 1) A file of 100+ "sayings" enough to avoid duplication too quickly 2) a random number generator to pick a line in above fie 3) a write statement to display that particular line Does not really sound like rocket science. Mostly the creativity and "artistic ability" to create the list of sayings. Someone has had to do this before. While its probably not suitable for "Business" which is I am sure where MVS mostly lives(d), Universities are another story, and now we are all just hobbyists, so I find it an acceptable of a few CPU ticks.

CA-LOOKYes, so back in the day when they shut the system every night (and put covers over all the boxen in case the sprinklers went off) I had my SMP4 APPLY running with DIS(WRITE), and left the instruction "if you have to cancel it, only cancel it once". SMP had an ESTAE with TERM=YES so that if ABTERM came along it would rewrite the numerous cylinders of directory blocks to the CDS. They took the request literally, and when the APPLY did not terminate within the operators' wanting-to-go-home patience limit, they issued an E CAN which is a LOOK command, thereby not issuing an OS CANCEL more than once. Of course, the effect was the same as if they'd issued an additional CANCEL, and the SMP CDS was totally cactus.? Luckily there was a backup from which to retry that particular software maintenance effort. Gotta laugh. Mind you, some of those LOOK console commands were lifesavers on numerous occasions, checking out jobs' allocations, address space status, etc.? Quite a powerful product in its time. Cheers, Greg |
