Subject:      Closing files in CMS

I wonder if anyone can offer me advice on a problem we have observed
with VM Fortran in CMS.

A long-running user program opens a dataset to write and writes slowly
throughout the job. At regular intervals throughout the job the user
writes re-start files to enable him to continue should the job fail.
The restart files are opened, written and then closed. So far, so good.
If the job completes normally then the restart files are found as expected.
If, however, the job terminates abnormally (eg) due to a VM IPL or
system crash. There is no sign of the restart files. Since this is exactly
the case when the restart files are needed, this is not good.

Further investigation revealed that CMS does not write an updated copy
of the minidisk directory on to disk while there are still files open.
This means that closing a dataset in Fortran is not sufficient to actually
create the dataset.

Has anyone got any ideas for a solution. I thought I would ask this list
before throwing it open to more general CMS lists.

For each mini-disk, CMS counts the number of files which are actively
being written to.  As your FORTRAN program issues "CLOSE" statements,
CMS will decrement this counter.  When the counter reaches zero,
CMS will update the disk-resident copy of the mini-disk directory.

So, the first step is to make sure that your program closes **all**
the "restart" files after writing the "check-point" data.

Note that due to what I think is a CMS bug,
it is **not** sufficient to issue an 'ENDFILE' statement for each unit;
you must use the 'CLOSE' statement for each unit.
(The 'ENDFILE' statement causes the 'CLOSE TYPE=T' macro to be issued,
and the CMS code for "temporary-close" has this bug.)

The second, and necessary(!), step to create a separate mini-disk
which should be **only** used to hold the "restart" files.
(If you use the A-disk for your "program-output" **and** "restart" files,
then you're back to the original problem, because your program only
closes the "program-output" files when the program terminates.)

Subject:      using RMODE

Hello,

Could someone please explain to me how the RMODE (and AMODE) parameter
works?  A user ran a FORTRAN job in VM BATCH and got the following
error message:

DMSLIO994W Restrictive RMODE encountered in CSECT .000001.
DMSLIO994W LOAD continues below 16Mb.
DMSLIO380E Storage at origin 00C49148 in use, ESVVLIB not loaded.

Because I was running in an XA-mode machine, I specified the  RMODE ANY
parameter on the LOAD statement in an attempt to load the module above
16 meg.  This time the job ran ok.  I thought that the restictive RMODE
would prevent me from loading above 16 meg. but I guess I was wrong.
Can someone tell me why this worked?  Thanks.

Note: we are running VM/ESA on an IBM ES 9000/500.

To:           VECTOR-L@UVBVM1


Does someone recognize the following problem and knows what to do ?

Hardware and OS : IBM3090/600e, VM/XA
When we run programs that gave no problems using VSFortran 2.4, some
times we get the error : following names are undefined :
      wd#exp  vd#exp  vdxpd# vd#log  ......    vd#atan
when loading using VSFortran 2.5.

And indeed, when looking to VSF2FORT TXTLIB, you find those names for
version 2.4 and not for version 2.5.

This occured always when using vectorized ESSL and vector as compiler
option.

Today it is even worser : we get the problem when installing the new
version of ESSL.

We welcome all help.

We are now running VM/ESA 1.1 using CMS 5.5.  We are running the XA version of

I've compiled yesterday the code for the xlock program and it works so:
the cc command was:
    cc -systype bsd43 -o xlock $(OBJECT) -lX11 -lm
where $(OBJECT) are the nn.o files for the needed programs

Normally there is a Makefile when get the sources.....

	   We had some problems like this. It turned out to be related to 
       accounting. Check the VM directory entry ACCOUNT and OPTION ACCT
       parameters. Also verify that you have enough virtual storage.

       You are right about the RPIGCS LOADLIB error, just ignore that
       message.

VM has a built-in facility called Auto-Deactivation
of Restricted Passwords (ADRP). If you create a LRECL=8 file called
RPWLIST DATA containing unwanted passwords and then issue the DIRECT command,
these passwords will be rejected (DIRECT will have a non-zero return code).
VM/SP 6, for example, comes with a sample RPWLIST DATA containing all
passwords used in the sample VMUSERS DIRECT file; you can tailor as you wish.

This is documented in my VM/SP 6 Installation Guide.

This has been broken up into two manuals now.  SC24-5624 is the manual

SC24-5525 is now for conversion from VM/XA SP and VM/ESA 1.0 to VM/ESA 1.1




PS.  We just finished converting from VM/SP Rel 5. to VM/ESA 1.1 (ESA feature)
on an IBM 4381-R91E processor on July 26, 1992.  I responded directly to
MIKEK%VDH.bitnet@vtvm2.cc.vt.edu with our conversion experience.  If anyone
else with a 4381 wants details specific to the 4381 and VM/ESA 1.1, I can
respond privately about our conversion experience.

You will need BookManager Read for DOS or OS/2 to read CD-ROM. Obviously,
the VM version can only read from DASD. I've been told by someone here from IBM
that we have to copy the CD-ROM to a minidisk to be able to use
BookManager Read/VM, but a programming annoucement I have here says that"most
of these on-line books are distributed on the same type of medium as the associ
ated licensed program. In some cases, they are distributed on CD-ROM;
or they are distributedon both the product's media and on CD-ROM".

I have here a "catalog" by Russ Teets (IBM, ISMD Optical Publishing) dating
back March 21, 1992, mentioning "VM/ESA Softcopy Library Release 1", form
number SV21-9131-01, 47033 K, Oct. 1991; also a "VM/ESA ES/9000 Demonstration
CD-ROM", SK2T-0839-00, 11774 K, Jan. 91. Nothing about VM/XA.

BookManager Read/VM requires IBM C Compiler, REXX Compiler and GDDM.
SoftCopy is not a prequisite (not even mentioned), although the word
"softcopy" appears in the title of the VM/ESA documentation above.

An  obvious(you probably looked into it already)  is  to  use IBM's IEBPTPCH.
For   many  members,   however,  this  may  be  undesirable.  Also,  if  you
have SAS, PROC SOURCE has excellent member selection support.  Unfortunately,
both of these could lead to coding alot of JCL, and may not create
the sequential data set the way you want it.

Subject:      Activating RACF JESSPOOL Class
Comments: To: IBM-MAIN@UA1VM.BITNET, IBM-MAIN@RICEVM1.BITNET

I am planning to activate RACF 1.9 JESSPOOL class to replace SDSF ISFPARMS
to protect sysout on our JES2 4.2 system. Does anyone have any experience
with this ?

I am specially concerned with maintenance needed to RACF/JES, TSO XMIT and
OUTPUT commands (option 3.4), and external writers.

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      Re: VVDS in Master catalog

VVDSs are cataloged in the ICF catalogs which have (or had) objects on
the VVDS's volume.  So that I have control over VVDS placement (I put
them all next to the vtoc, along with the vtoc index), I always
define them myself when initializing a volume.  I have a clist to do
it.  The clist does a define, then a define recatalog to get it into
the master catalog.  Any non-master catalog vsam objects will cause
catalog entries for VVDSs in other catalogs.  A VVDS is an exception
to IBM's rule that vsam objects can only be cataloged in a single
catalog.

I cooperate with computer centers which run MVS/XA 2.2.0 on
4381 ( models 2, 12, 13, 14).
I can prepare MVSCP input deck from one of this computer centers for you.
Please decide which one.

I'll be absent next week.  I can send you this deck after a week.

Gregory.
