Subject:      $MONITOR for AF/Operator

A request or two:-

In version 110 of AF/OPERATOR there was a command file in the
sample library called $MONITOR (allows for monitoring of tasks), however,
having installed version 225 and deleting all our old libraries I now find
that this file doesn't exist (even though it's entered in the $$AOINT
command file). I don't suppose some kind soul could send me a copy of this
member from their sample library as it would save me a lot of time.

I remember reading here about the User Group Seminar in April in Reno (my
company said it's a bit too far for just one day), does anyone know if
they are held in England. I know they have them here in Germany but my
Germans not quite up to it yet.


Thanks in advance.

Subject:      Omegamon VM Diagnose Storage Extends?

Environment: HPO 5 @ SLU 522 + Omegamon VM V500.

Query: Can Omegamon aid in diagnosing a FREE storage extend problem?

Tuesday evening around 23:30 the system began to extend, slowly but inexorably.
There is almost no third shift staff.  There's no way to relate workload
to what happened that night.  Tuesday morning, XPG was 500 pages.  It
climbed to around 650 Wednesday.  Again, Wednesday night third shift
saw XPG climb to around 900 pages by Thursday morning.  Now it stands at
1072.  Thursday night?

This is a new one, here.  And considering current CP level has been
stable for almost a year, more or less.

If anyone has any experience using Omegamon to shoot this, I'd appreciate
hearing from them.

thanks,

Organization: University of Delaware
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 15:54:00 GMT

I know I've seen someone ask this before, but darned if I can find
it now;  Sorry for the repeat!

We're looking at installing University of New Brunswick's NJEIP package
and use it to route JES output to network connected printers.  However,
since the package emulates an NJE node, we have a problem when it comes
to CICS prints.

We're looking for something that will allow CICS prints to be placed in
the JES spool, where the NJEIP software can then reroute them network
printers.  We're running MVS/ESA 3.1.3 and CICS 2.1, and our two primary
CICS applications are IA's SIS Plus and Notis's on line card catalog
system.  (Although network style printing from NOTIS isn't as critical)

Does have any recommendations for a product that will allow CICS prints
to be sent to JES?  I've seen ads from McKinney systems for such a
product, but really don't know much about it. Is there others?  Also,
since we can modify our SIS application, is there an easy way that we
can do so to send the output to JES without investing in additional
software?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Shawn.

Is there any way to run an SDF II map generation as a batch job? I
wonder about this every time I need to generate a large number of maps
at a time, which can be a very slow process through the panels. I haven't
seen this addressed in the documentation.

Does anyone know if there's another LISTSERV list which deals specifically

Subject:      Re: SQL/DS and Locks

Yes, we have also found SQL/DS locking to be a pain
sometimes.  There is no good solution, but there are
a few mediocre ones: try row level locking on the table
being updated - this may help unless your other trans
are actually selecting the inserted rows; try buffering
the inserts in your program and adding them all at
once at the end (this might be the best solution if
the number is small and limited); do a commit work,
but rely on having your input table's cursor ORDERed
and use a > or a BETWEEN to always pick up where you
left off (the overhead may not be too bad if the cursor
is using an existing index).

Until SQL/DS supports a 'dirty read', you are stuck
doing some kind of work-around.

Greetings,

Our development CICS system has been getting numerous transaction abends.
The particular transaction causes SDUMP to be issued, and will fill up the
MVS dumpdsn's quickly. I've tried using SLIP, but can't seem to get it to
recognize 'ASRA'. It's really just the SDUMP I'd like to stop - the regular
CICS dumps are not a problem. Any idea's?

Subject:      Answer to RETRIEVE hold-up

Earlier I had submitted a question regarding a transaction "B" STARTed
by transaction "A", not being able to complete its RETRIEVE until
transaction "A" had terminated.
IBM has since then pointed out that, because I let CICS assign a REQID,
a temp storage id beginning with the letters "DF" was created; in
addition, I have a temp storage table (DFHTST..) with the prefix "DF"
included as a recoverable resource.  This situation produced my
"problem".
The way around it is to explicitly name a REQID on the START command, or
to remove the DF prefix from the TST, the first suggestion being
preferable.
I am passing this info along for those interested.

You might want to give Levi, Ray and Shoup a call at (217) 793-3800. They
have a product called Dynamic Report System that includes a virtual printer
interface that allows CICS to print directly to the Jes queue. We use it
for SIS and CUFS printing to PC's running a LPD server in the background
like the one supplied with TCP/IP for DOS. Hope this helps you.

Any system worth its salt ought to provide this function. Since cics
doesn't it'll have to be worth something beside salt. I did what you
want mostly for the exercise and learning experience. I started with the
program in Technical Support magazine of September, 1991. The authoris
Gary Stotts and he has other good stuff that you can acquire in his book
CICS systems programming. You can get it from QED at 1-800-343-4848.
They have other great books too. Get their catalog.  Now the real
question is do you want the experience or do you want the code. Mine is
for 1.6. The book has the code for 1.7. My code will probably be an
experience too.

How is the transaction defined (PCT FDUMP or RDO DUMP options) ?

Comments: To: DOSVSE-L@LEHIGH.EDU, List <CICS-L@UGA.BITNET>

Regarding application development with SQL/DS for VSE; does the locking
structure (not letting go of any update locks until the entire LUW is
committed) give anyone else a headache in designing programs?

I have a long-running transaction in CICS/VSE that browses thru an input
table, and randomly inserts rows into another table.  This updated table
is a highly used one, and so the long-running transaction ends up
locking other users out for an extended time.  But if I do a Commit
Work, I lose my input table's cursor and have to start it all over again
to get back to where I was.

The above is just an example of the kind of stuff I'm contending with.
Anyone willing to share some SQL/DS for VSE stories, both good and bad?
Surely I'm not the only one trying to push this car up the hill.

When I checked control block changes between 1.6 and 1.7, I did find one
or two in the TCTTE, which were taken care of simply by reassembly. From
1.7 to 2.1 there was no applicable change.  I mention this for anyone

The quotation mentioning "de Marees" indicates him as a
theologian of strongly worded opinions. A possible candidate
for this role is listed in Biographie Universelle ou
Dictionnaire Historique, Paris, Furne 1833 :

  Desmarets (Samuel), en latin Maresius, eocrivain et
  ministre protestant, neo a` Oisemont en Picardie l'an
  1599, mort a` Groningue en 1673, se livra a si bonne heure
  a` l'eotude, qu'avant l'aoge de 7 ans il avait deoja lu
  deux fois la Bible en entier.  Desmarets professa
  successivement la theoologie a` Seodan, a` Maestricht, a`
  Bois-le-Duc, a` Franeker et a` Groningue.  C'eotait, dit
  Burmann, un homme d'un eosprit vif, et d'une eorudition
  profonde, mais d'un caracte`re virulent, et qui ne
  meonageait pas assez les personnes tout en attaquant les
  opinions.  Desmarets a publieo un treos-grand nombre
  d'ouvrages de theoologie et de controverse, dont on peu
  voir la liste dans les Meomoires de Niceron, qui en compte
  plus de 100; son collegium theologicum sive breve systema
  universae theologiae, a eu 4 e'ditions, 1645, 1649, 1656,
  1673 in-4.  Il donna avec Desmarets (Nicolas), son fils
  ai^neo, ministre a` Delft, une eodition de la Ste-Bible
  franc,.  de la version de Gene`ve, Amsterdam, Elzevir,
  1669,, 2 vol.  in-fol.

Thus this Desmarets was remembered also 50 years after
Riem's article. However, in order to conclude that Riem
had in mind this Samuel Desmarets, we ought to know more
about the discussions in contemporary journals whose readers
Riem obviously assumed to know whom he meant.

May this correspondent ask why Andreas Riem is considered
important enough to be tranlated ?

Those who are interested in the 19th-century article on Samuel Desmarets
cited by Walter Felscher may also wish to pursue Desmarets further.  In
Bayle's _Dictionnaire Historique et Critique_ one can read the article on
Marets, Samuel Des (in Latin, Maresius).  He was a sickly, weak child but
survived and lived to the age of 74.  He showed a talent for learning at
a very early age and before he was seven he had read over the Bible twice
from beginning to end.  He became a brilliant preacher and controversialist.
There's much more in the six folio pages which are dominated by Bayle's
fascinating footnotes in double columns.

As a start, at least, the Biographical Dictionary of English Architects

Theatre (for Thomas Killigrew, 1672-4, remodelled by Robert Adam 1775-6).
Colvin also mourns:  "Unhappily,... even the editors of the Wren Society
have at times allowed speculation to take the place of scholarship, and
they have included in their volumes more than one building whose ascription
to Wren is unwarranted by the evidence of either drawings or documents."
But he doesn't mention theatres in this regard.  I'm curious about other
possibilities, too.  Summerson's Georgian London probably discusses this,
but I don't have my copy at hand.

Yesterday I wrote that Samuel Desmarets was a possible

the aigu's which I innocuosly typed on my screen were

More unfortunately in a way, another, even more suitable
candidate has appeared since, namely

His abbreviated first names presumably mean Simon Ludwig
Eberhard, but I am afraid that Mr.Schmidt will have to
consult the biographical dictionaries of a library in order
to find out more about him.

As for Samuel Desmarets, Maresius, George Welling's
colleague of 320 years ago, he also has received positive
commentaries in connection with the Kasseler Religions-
gespraeche of 1661, arranged by Wilhelm V of Hessen-Cassel
in order to mediate between the Reformed and the Lutheran
Church.  Desmarets took part on the Reformed side and agreed
to a compromise of reciprocal tolerance which, however,
later was objected to by the Lutheran Orthodoxy from
Wittenberg.  [In this connection, the Kurfuerst Friedrich
Wilhelm of Brandenburg required his preachers to sign a
promise to abstain from controversies, and one of those who
refused and lost their office was Paul Gerhard whose songs
we still sing this day.]

Desmarets received an offer of a chair at Leyden and was in
the process of moving there when he died on May 18, 1673. He
left two sons, Henri and Daniel, "qui se distinguerent aussi
par leur science et leur e'rudition".
