Subject:      Tabkeys

Does anyone know how to set the tabkey as the tabkey?  I know that I can
set a PF key, PA key, or the enter key as the tabkey, but I can't figure
out how to make the tabkey move to the tabs that I set while in xedit.

Thanks,

Hopefully you're referring to the use of the SCREEN subcommand of
XEDIT.
Thus  "SCREEN 2 V" will split your screen in a left and a right
screen, where each subscreen can edit a file (same file, or different
ones).  Use your 3270 TAB key to switch from one screen to the other,
or the TABCMD to go to the next screen (one can have more than two
subscreens!), or TABCMDB to go to the previous screen.
"SCREEN 3" will split the screen in 3 screens, one above the other.

Hope this helps.  If not, could you be more specific?
Regards.

Subject: Re: Tabkeys

The TAB key does not cause a 3270 interrupt, and therefore it cannot be
used to advance to an XEDIT tab, which is a creature of the host
application program, and is unknown to the control unit. This is why you
must assign XEDIT TABKEY to a 3270 key which generates an interrupt - a PF
key, PA key, or the enter key.

A way around this is available if you have the Entry Assist feature,
which is a part of all 3174 and all later 3274 control units. That
allows you to set column tabs in the control unit, and also gives you an
input mode which works even better than POWERINPUT. A few 3270-emulation
programs support entry assist. The documentation which comes with Entry
Assist tells how to make it work well with XEDIT.
Look for a key on your terminal labeled "DOC ON" - if you have it and it
turns on a DOC signal on the 25th line, you have Entry Assist.

Thanks by your help. I'll be more specific: my goal is to build a    xedit
macro to open two files together (following your suggestion, screen 2  can
be used to do this) and I would like to jump from a screen to another  one
and vice-versa. You said a TABCMD command would do this but I didn't  find
such command in my system. is there another way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

Pardon my VSE related posting, but as far as I can find out, there is
no longer a VSE only list.  I would like to know if there is a way to
update Interactive Interface passwords with a batch program?  The
CICS applications are running in partitions without the capability
to change their own passwords for the II.  Due to the way our network
is set up, it would be impractical for them to switch to another VTAM
application to change their II password.
Most of the passwords in the II are kept in sync with a major applicatio
password file and this would be the input for the II password.
I've looked at the IESVLDUP migration utility, but as far as I can
determine, it does not do updates, but tries to add new records.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

How do you have your vse console setup? If you run it as a DOC console
where it scrolls down and you set it up to not be interuppted by vm
message then this should not occur.  If you need specifics I can give
them to you, but the vse manuals document how to setup a console this
way.

There is a built-in function in CICS called BIF DEEDIT that will is
designed to handle the translation of numeric editted fields on the BMS
screens. It will decimal align, remove '$' signs, decimal points, etc.
It is discussed in the Command Level Application Programmer's Ref Man.
With this function you may define the BMS map field the way you want.

  The above and the below are BOTH true, depending on how your shop is
  setup.  PPT will store the length, type, location etc. of a program when 1st
  invoked (unless it's a RESident program) and subsquent  re-compile, re-
  linkedit will ALWAYS use virgin area of LOADlib ( Objlib or CoreImagelib
  in DOS/VSE environment - it was true years ago, I doubt it changed with
  new .OBJ .PHASE VSE environment - correct me if I'm wrong - I've been
  away from VSE for 8 years), IF your shop uses only IBM's PDS as Loadlib.
                              --
  - no problem here - CICS simply fetches the old program since PPT gets
    updated only NEWCopy is done.
  However, if your shop have any  vendor library mgmt software which
  re-use the loadlib space (i.e. Panvalet etc) then you can get into trouble
  indeed.  After DSA compression, CICS tries to fetch a loadmodule
  from the Loadlib with the info stored in the PPT which may or maynot be valid
  since a program was re-linkedited.  CICS simply fetches program according to
  the info provided in PPT, this could cause storage violation in some
  case - I should know it happend to me MVS/SP environment about 7 years ago.
  Even though QA person had instruction to do the NewCopy right after re-linked
  it into Production Loadlib,  the newly linkedited program was fetched before
  QA had a chance to Newcopy it (combination of events..). The solution
  to this problem was to move into production  after CICS is down,  or
  if its an emergency, DISable the program 1st and move & Newcopy ( to update
  the PPT pointers) and Enable it back.

I have the program DFHTDRP in a PPT group called DFHRCVRY.  I
believe this is associated with the system recovery program.  I
believe the programs in this group are generated by DFHSG PROGRAM=SRP
which you should find in your customization guide.  If you don't
need this feature or simply want to test this out try putting
SRP=NO in your SIT.  This should avoid making the call to the missing
program.  Sorry I cannot be more specific or definite but the
entry in my PPT/RDO group DFHRCVRY has a date of 1987 associated
with it so I'm a bit vague about how it got there.

HELP!!!!
 
We have a CICS (ver 2.1.1) COBOL application that is having severe problems
in final testing.
 
The application is an On-line screen that reads two tables, populates the
screen with 1-9 rows and writes all selected rows to a WORK-IIN-PROGRESS
table that further screen accesses are run from.  When 3 or more user are
On-line concurrently, we get deadlocks on the WIP table or sometimes
Intertest (ver 4.2) detects a STORAGE VIOLATION and sometimes when it does
run o.k., TMON reports response times of 9 to 17 seconds.
 
What is up???   Omegamon DB2 reports that we are 'in' DB2 for only 1.5
seconds, and TMON reports CICS application and CICS Service times of
around .5 to 1 seconds.  Where is the rest of the time going?? Thread
Creation? MVS Dispatch wait time?
 
The WIP table is a Segmented TABLESPACE, one table, no indexex (the
resultant table selection usually is 5 to 100 rows so an Index isn't worth
anything).  TABLESPACE parms are Priqty 2048, Secqty 1024, SEGSIZE 4,
FREEPAGE 5, PCTFREE 10.  Table has 18 columns and is around 148 bytes/row.
 
Any ideas/withcraft/clues are appreciated.  Please post to group or email.

Just a guess: you may be having conflicts with your WORK-IN-PROGRESS
table. I suggest you run an Aux. Trace (without Interest). Print trace
entries for only one terminal; one that had a long response time. That
should give a clear picture of where the transaction is waiting.

If the delay reason is still not clear, print selected trace entry types
for all of the transactions. The first trace should at least give you a
good idea of what to print in the second report.
