On the QMF extract to a sequential flat file:
Would it be more appropriate to use DB2's own DSNTIAUL to unload the data?
I would think that the overhead would be less, though the flexibility in
selecting columns is missing.  As for QMF, you could probably post process
the data with the ISPF editor in batch via a clist, using an edit macro
that trims off all undesireable data.  The same macro would probably apply
to all data (ie, delete first two lines,  C ALL P'.' ' , stuff like that).
It's a bit expense to deal with the data twice, but if it's a small amount,
the cost would be negligible.

Thanks for your reply--
Is there a batch reporting capability against SMF data?  Is there an option
to write the historical data to VSAM files vs. DB2 tables?

Some of us are working with Message Send Protocol (RFC-1312) which provides
TELL-like communication between users at IP hosts.  Servers and client pro-
grams exist at various stages of development for VM, VMS, and UNIX.
You can get more information by subscribing to the fan club MSP-L@ALBANY
or reading the list header (TELL LISTSERV AT ALBANY REVIEW MSP-L (SHORT ).

It certainly does !  I used it all the time when we were HPO5.  It's
just a matter of finding someone still on HPO5 who has the module.  We've
been on XA for a while.  I know I don't have an old module lying around.
Maybe the folks at Princeton have one.....I think they just got off HPO5.

Ahhh... RiceMAIL92 no longer includes/uses the IUCVTRAP package with the
distribution, however, it is on the VMTools tape and those packages are
available from the University of Kentucky.  (Sorry, but I can't lay
my computer's hands on exactly the "how I got them" -- ftp or LISTSERV.)

Anyway, I have the source which includes the CNTRL file which includes
the selection as to whether you are building for VM/SP or VM/XA.

 A nit on a nit:

    RSCS requires a priority before the writer parameter.
 I don't know why it needs it, but it does need it.

    Wouldn't sending the READER file directly to MVS be easier
 than re-routing through VM?
 Are shared disk possible?

Subject:      Idle exec - encountered problem

Previously, someone asked for IDLE exec to forced inactive users
off the system.  Recently, I've encountered a problem with this
idle exec.

In our installation, we set the time-limit for idle exec to
force users off for 30 minutes of inactivity. The problem
occurs for users who are into VM AS.  They generate a long
AS report which send control to our SQL machine for processing.
SQL machine will process the request and the id will sit idle.

In normal situations, these ids will not be forced off as the
processing by SQL will not take more than 30 minutes.  However,
at times when system load is heavy,  SQL took more time to
process the request and the users got forced off.

Is there anyway where I can code in my IDLE exec to check for
this kind of users?

One method I can think of is to capture
the console of SQL secondary user for SHOW USERS command and send
the output to the service machine running IDLE EXEC.  But this
is not satisfactory as my IDLE exec runs every 5 minutes and
we cannot tie down the secondary user.

I also received info that RXSQL or cms PIPE can also help.
Where can I get these?  I'm running HPO 5, SQL 2.2, AS 2.2.

Thanks.

I donno who of you uses this little gem but if you do and are interested
in the latest version, send me a request.

RXNAMES read a NAMES file into a single REXX string and cleans it up
so that only pure information in a sort of parsable format is retained.

RXNAMES now also reads an entire NAMES file into REXX variables, each
tag value is read into a stem with the tag's name as it's name.

RXNAMES is VERY fast.  - Yossie

Use PIPE! :-)

The problem will be to identify the RDR file and then execute the
correct PIPE.

It's not very hard.

How about this, for startes, which reads a NETDATA file and write's
it out as NETDATA:

'PIPE reader | nfind' '41'x||'| spec 2-* | deblock netdata |',
  'block netdata | punch'

Then you need to close the PUN (the RDR is automatically closed and purged
at the end of the reader stage.)

I am not sure you want or need the deblock|block stages, it might work
pretty well without them too.

To read a normal punch file skip the 'deblock' stage.

In the case of a print file, the 'nfind' stage should be changed to
a 'mctoasa' stage as well as getting rid of the 'deblock' stage.

PIPE is a VERY powerful command which can be used to solve LOTS of
problems - like these.

Subject:      TRACK

Here's my attempt to clarify the situation with regard to TRACK. There
are two different 'releases' of TRACK at this point. The original TRACK
"classic" runs on SP and HPO systems. I have not had anything to do with
distributing that version. However, to answer the questions that have
been asked, TRACK "classic" does indeed work on HPO 5 (and HPO 6 and SP 6
and SP 5 and HPO 4.2 and SP 4 and even SP3!) The entire TRACK "classic" is
available from Princeton University's (PUCC) LISTSERV. There is a TRACK-D
list for file distribution, and a TRACK-L list for discussion of TRACK.
There are no new lists (at least not yet) for TRACKXA (TRACKESA/TRACKXC).
Please don't ask me Listserv questions, as I don't know much about it.
You can also get TRACK from an old workshop or an old Waterloo tape.
The only version of TRACK that is available on this year's workshop tape
(and online at KSUVM) is the XA/ESA/XC versions that I worked on, as
you've already discovered.

Ross

P.S.   As TRACK has always been distributed with full source code, you can
       just assemble all of it and build an appropriate version for your
       system, but first check to see what files you may need from PUCC's
       LISTSERV. I think the command "TELL LISTSERV AT PUCC INDEX TRACK-D"
       should get you started.

P.P.S. My real userid is this one (RJFCU@CUNYVM), but you can also reach me
       at TRACK@CUNYVM.

A nit, but since it would be going to MVS, the TAG should be
   CP TAG FILE nnnn node userid W=userid
otherwise, MVS will just end up trying to punch the file out,
since it is a SYSOUT dataset(or will it try to print it?  I forget.
either way, it won't make it available for TSO users to RECEIVE it.)

Subject:      .LZH files anyone?

I'm looking for some VM utility to handle .LZH packed files (compatible with
microcomputers). What I want id to pack VM files and send them to a PC, any
hints?

Thanks!
