I have to point out that Julian date 88001 was 6463 years ago.  It was
not in the year 1988, as many IBM'ers seem to suppose.  Today's Julian
date is 2448722.5.

Wolfram sent a solution to my problem, but:

- I have to work in one account (child), while the other (father)
  waits for some msgs and mail, and I've to be told immediately.
  Another approach is to first logging in the working account,
  then creating a session, running a msg catcher program like GRAB
  or DIRMSG, that re-sends any msg to any account (i.e. working)
  and then return to working account using current break key.

- What is DVMUSI???   Where can I find it?

Again: Who knows the differences in data streams between the 2 modes
  of FULLREAD (ON & OFF) that causes the data lost when ON ???

Subject:      Data lost during SESSION

I've created a SESSION session, then entered XEDIT (with FULLREAD ON)
and typed some text.   When the ENTER key was pressed, a MSG received
in the 'father' acount appeared.  The HOLDING status forced me to
press the CLEAR key, restoring some portions of the XEDIT screen only.
Also, the typed data (or changes) went to heaven (or hell?).
I think that SESSION has not enought buffer to keep all data streams
for XEDIT (in order to recover a complete screen), but it doesn't
matter, because pressing CLEAR key again refresh it (sometimes).
The way that XEDIT optimizes the data transfer is the answer for
the limitation of SESSION's buffer (I guess!).
My real problem is the second one:  A lot of typed data lost!!!
If FULLREAD is OFF, there is no problem, but I got used to write
in FULLREAD ON mode (ex: indentation spaces are not required, nulls
are valid as spaces, free cursor movement with arrow keys).
Any solution or idea?

My apologies to anyone who fetched VMARC MODULE from my LISTSERV between
03 April 1992 and today (06 April 1992).  In my zeal to post the self-
extracting support module for VMARC I messed up the FILEID file.  The
VMARCSEA MODULE ended up "on top of" VMARC MODULE.  Only GET's for

              13 Apr 1992 11:46:35 +0200 from <fontaine@SRI.UCL.AC.BE>

While we're on the subject, may I recall that year 2000 is 7.7 years from
now, and IBM operating systems (and most program products) still use
date constructs that won't work on Jan. 1, 2000; that is, the so-called
"Julian" date and the last-two-digits year representation. Have IBM
and vendors any plans to rectify this?
I wonder what January 1, 2001, will look like: 101001? 01001? 01/01/01?
Or a more readable 2001-01-01?

I don't want to start a discussion that should belong to IBM-MAIN; I just
want to know if VM system(s) and products will be adapted in time for
the change. Some products, like APL2, already work right.

Display Device Management System (DDMS), a CMS console driver that I
submitted for inclusion on the 1992 Workshop Tape supports a 'Roll/
Delete' function that is available from REXX and allows rollable and
scrollable areas (rolling up and rolling down) to be defined.  The lines
may be added using the default characteristics of the roll area, or with
their own characteristics (color, highlighting, etc.) that move with them
through the area.  DDMS is currently a 370 mode facility that we are
running under VM/XA SP 2.1.  The package requires about 10M disk space
and includes source and documentation.

DDMS supports lots of features, but does require that a map be defined
(via an interactive program that is part of the package) when used from
EXEC/REXX, and that support modules and its DCSS or nucxloadable module
be available.

You mean how do you know whether a given date in the literature refers
to the Julian or Gregorian system?  That's wandering a bit away from
the topic of this list, but I'll answer briefly.  The Gregorian calendar
was introduced by Pope Gregory and was officially adopted by all the
Roman Catholic countries in 1582.  Great Britain (including the American
colonies) switched quasi-retroactively around 1750 (George Washington's
birthday was "moved" as a result).  Other countries switched at various
other times, the last being the Soviet Union shortly after the Russian
Revolution.  In English sources, the distinction was made between Old
Style and New Style by writing O.S. or N.S. explicitly after a date,
but that convention faded out after a few decades.

and the sort is being done there (at approximately line 66) using the

  As some of you are aware, KSUVM.KSU.EDU has had available an anonymous
FTP to the the SHARE and Waterloo tools tapes.  This service has just
gotten better with the addition of a VMARC'd list of the contents of the
WORKxx.VMARC files, similiar to the TAPE MAP output.  GET TOOLLIST.VMARC
to see exactly what is in all those WORKxx.VMARC files.

  And thanks to Brick Verser <BAV@KSUVM.KSU.EDU> for doing this.

Comments: To: VM-UTIL@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu

Hugh,

We use Syncsort for INFO/SYS/MAN sorts. It works just fine using the DOSLIB
supplied by Syncsort. Phase Linear's sort product also includes DOSLIB
support but I haven't tried it out yet. I'm in the process of evaluating it
for replacement of Syncsort. Granted they both have annual fees ($3000+/year
for Syncsort and $2000+/year for PLSort) but they do work. I thought DFSORT
had a way of getting INFO sorts done, but it may just be a SAS interface I'm
remembering. Hope this Helps.

PS: Done any great tuning tricks since Marty's class? Not me yet, but I'm
working on it. Still trying to get VMPRF operational.
