MVS 3.8J Software Contribution Announcement


 


I am contributing several projects to the MVS 3.8J community using ISPF v2.2 (ISPF-like product from Wally Mclaughlin).


1.?Perpetual Calendar on ISPF Panel
This application is updated to include the monthly JULIAN date as an aid to quickly determine a calendar date from a julian date.
This was suggested by a member of this community.? Great suggestion!
Please refer my updated page for more details at:??


2. LOG and LIST add-on for ISPF 2.2
This project has been an ongoing item since my intro to Wally's ISPF product which uses CLISTs.? I finally completed a post and
download?file.? As mentioned, this is an add-on!?
You can read more at:?

3. VTOC Search
This is another project that has been a long-running task for me!? It is a hybrid-like ISPF aid between VTOC (3.6) and VTOC search.
I like it because in provides a 'windows file explorer' type search given a partial or portion of a DSN looking across all online DASD.
You can read more at:?

4. Upgrades to 3 other ISPF utilities that integrate into #3 above and makes use of logging activity to LOG data set.
More information at the below links...
- DASD Freespace? ??
- DASD UCB Info? ? ??
- TSO Allocations? ? ??


The above items allows me to better 'peak' into my DSNs on my system including?integrating (enabling) logging
into other functions on my ISPF system.

Take a look...? Let me know if you encounter any issues with downloads and/or installation.?
This is a larger distribution than my prior?contributions and more 'eyes' on these functions
may discover issues I did not!

Thanks and enjoy!
Larry Belmontes

Best, Mike

Hi Larry,

DUCB, DVTOC, CLGLST and RCQCAL are installed now in my system.
These will be included in my next distribution of my TK4ROB volums.

Cheers,
Rob


 

Hi Rob,

Thanks for providing your TK4ROB DASD distributions.

May I suggest for the next release that you include the needed .conf file as a part of the DASD .zip file, such that merely by unzipping and overlaying the base TK4- Version 8, all needed files will be in place as needed.

I will go out on a limb and guess that I was not the only one who missed the additional .conf file needed to make your add on DASD boot up properly, this time around.

Thank you!
ScottC


 

Hi Larry,

In CLGLST (the list and log utility of ISPF) I found a minor bug.
After quit of ISPF, you can print the log and list dataset and a job will be submiited.
The userid.CARDS.Dxxx.Txxx dataset is not deleted.

Can you change the disposition of this dataset?
Thanks in advance,

Cheers,
Rob


 

Rob?

Thank you for providing up to date dasd for TK4. It saves me lots of time.

Laddie?

I built a MVS 3.8J back in 1982 ran it under VM on a?4341 Wish?I kept a backup of the system once I had?discovered Hercules
