Subject:      Locking of SYS001 DBSPACE

I have a recurring problem with lock contention on SYS001 DBSPACE.
We use dynamic SQL to load large quantities of data from a PC database
application running on multiple LANs. The load program is long running.
While it is running we cannot do any other activities which write to tables
in DBSPACE SYS001, i.e create or drop tables or indexes or compile programs
which build SQL access modules. We try to do our loads during off hours but
for various reasons have to frequently do them during normal hours. The
contentions is seriously impacting the productivity of our database
programmers. We are currently running SQL/DS 2.2. Is anyone aware of
a solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Can anyone tell me how I find out the FORMS for which an external writer
is currently processing.  If we set up one external writer which has to
do a number of different things depending on the values of FORM, how do
I get the value to start with ?  Also, we are thinking of writing the external
writer in C/370.  Does anyone foresee any problems ?

Thanks,

Tony

Look at the standard parmlist of the extrernal writer. Look in particular
at two DSECTs - IEFSDWKT and IEFSDPAR. On entry to your XWTR you will have
R1 point to an area mapped by IEFSDWKT. If you pick up field WOSPS from
there, you get to the "parm list". There you will find the forms name
among many other things).

I guess you won't be able to use the macros mentioned above... Aside from
that I see no potential problems.

Hope this helps

Subject:      Commercial Disk/Tape Recovery Services

I have a user with a VAX/VMS backup tape that is giving her great
problems.  In short, our VAX will not read past a certian spot on the
tape.  This is, of course, her only copy of research data that she
brought with her from another college and which is no longer available
on the source machine.  We are now looking for a disk/tape recovery
service ... the kind of service that can take a crashed hard disk and
get most of the data off it.

Any sources/information about such a service would be greatly
appreciated.

Does anybody out there have an 'sz' program for VAX/VMS systems? I only have
1000 blocks of data storage space, so I can't really uncompress a large file.
Please contact me directly if you can somehow send a copy.
(I have access to both unix and PC systems and can uncompress using any
compression style for those 2 systems, then transfer the file, if necessary)
Thanks a million..

    Here's some that I have found useful in the  past :

    Mind Your Business: Managing End-User Computing
         By Naomi  Karten

    The Embattled Fortress
         By Joseph Izzo

    The Computer Support Guidebook
         By Eliot Masie

I  don't have ISBNs for these as I am away from my desk and will be out of
the office for the next couple of days.  The last book in the list was
extremely useful as it discusses service level agreements, phone handling,
basic support triage, etc. I got my copy at a training seminar  held by
Masie.  His organization used to be called the National Computers and
Training Project.  It is now called simply the Masie Institute.  They are
in Raquette Lake, New York and manage to hold  an international conference
on support and training each year in Orlando.  This year's conference
is sometime in November.  I attended it in 1990 and found my institution's
money was well spent.
   I'll try  to post more book references when I get back to my office (8/4).
If you want more info on Masie's courses and seminars, drop me a private
E-Mail and I'll dig up a brochure.

       THE OLD CHURCH SLAVONIC
              DICTIONARY FUND

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE PART IN COMPLETION OF A UNIQUE WORK
               OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE?

                    WE NEED YOUR HELP!

     For  almost  half  a  century  our  best experts in the
fields of Old Church  Slavonic and literature in cooperation
with  classical philologists,  Germanists, Russian scholars,
theologians and  other specialists have been  working on the
compilation of an academic Dictionary of Old Church Slavonic
(Lexicon linguae palaeoslovenicae, Prague, from 1958).
     This dictionary provides a lexicon of the language into
which  the  Holy  Bible   was  translated  and  thus  became
instrumental in spreading Christianity.  As a result of this
language the Slavs became recognized  as one of the cultured
nations of Europe.
                The dictionary is finished,
          but means for its printing are lacking!
     OLD SLAVS HAD REACHED EUROPE BY THE 9TH CENTURY!
 HELP US TO REMIND EUROPE - AND OURSELVES! - OF THIS FACT.
     More than 2,700 pages  have already been printed. Along
with Old  Church Slavonic vocabulary  there are also  Czech,
Russian, German, Greek, Latin and Hebrew equivalents.

THERE ARE LESS THAN 400 PAGES STILL TO BE PRINTED AND THEY'D
                      COST $ 60,000.
     The type  setting is very  demanding, because different
alphabets must be used -  Cyrillic, Roman, Greek and Hebrew.
Some of the plates already set and ready for printing are in
danger of being broken down.

         THE DICTIONARY OF OLD CHURCH SLAVONIC

Gosh - I heard that the Indy 500 is Drivers' Training for the autobahn!

Also, on 15-JUN-1992 15:30:34.14 I had asked for info on the Denver area,
(as I was planning to accompanymy husband on a business trip).  I wish to
thank Jim Reiss (who sent mail directly) and Lloyd Dennington (whose message
was posted here) for their replies.  Unfortunately the trip was cancelled, so
I am unable to return the kindness with a travelogue of my own.  For others'
benefit, I will share Jim's message (and have my fingers crossed that he won't
mind):

Heritage Square Music Hall does musical comedy plays (right now it's
their own version of Blackbeard) which are always a lot of fun.  It's a
dinner theater in the foothills.

I have a yellow pages on my desk, if there's anything in particular you're
looking for, let me know.  There are lots of museums around here, the Museum
of Natural History (which is next to the zoo) is one of the better ones.
The sixteenth street mall (a pedestrian mall) can be a good place for
shopping, it's in the heart of downtown near the capitol, mint, etc.
Feel free to ask if there's anything else I can answer.

Newsgroups: bit.listserv.travel-l


Air fare was $928. each.

Hotels/inns cost between 390ff and 800ff per night.  The two hotels were
closest to 400ff; Domain de Beauvois was (I think) 820ff.  Hotel du
// de Lutece was 720ff per night.  Conversion is at about 5 francs per
dollar.  Chateau de Colliers was right in the middle.

Car rental was $267 with a deal that we could have kept the car for 5,6,
or 7 days.  It included the 22% tax.  We also added collision damage
waiver, since we weren't sure what the driving would be like and didn't
want to have any hassles if we got in a fenderbender.  That will add
about 700ff to the total.

The really wonderful dinners averaged between $80 and $100 per person,
including a bottle of wine and lots of mineral water. (There were four
of them).  Meals at cafes, bars, brasseries, etc., were quite
inexpensive; it was easy to find a meal for about $10.00. Breakfast at
a hotel generally ran about 35-40 ff, I think (memory dims).

I won't really know exactly how much it all cost until we get the
charge card bills.  We resolved not to think about the costs once we
got there, just to have a good time.  So it may be a shock!  This should
give you an idea, though.

Now I just have to start saving up for the next one.....
