Hey! don't use ropes....use DSDSIM.......from interactive it works like
the console.....
you just type DSD....
you get a ? for a response.....
then you type E,P. (as you would normally do at the console)
and you get a listing of the tape requests....
works just fine here using NOS 2.7.1.

  I am looking for opinions on the best IBM supplied font for the 3812 or
3820 using PSF.  I am on a VM/ESA system and would prefer the complete font
filename and filetype. (FM if you want to but I KNOW it won't apply ;-)  )
I am using standard 8.5 x  11.0 paper and would prefer both landscape and

Also, favorites for 2 pages/side and 4 pages/side printing would be appreciated
.

Subject:      Moving an ICF master cat to a new system

I'm in the process of converting from MVS/370 3.8 to ESA 4.2.
I'd like to export a copy of  the master catalog of my old system to ESA as a
user catalog.  I want to use this approach as the old master contains
a large  number of user VSAM datasets and the CBIPO supplied catalog
merge program MCNVTCAT doesn't handle VSAM files.

Although this approach seems perfectly logical to me,  I don't see a
documented procedure for it.  Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Subject:      Re: Moving an ICF master cat to a new system

The best way to do it is to attach the old master catalog volume to the
ESA system and then do an IMPORT CONNECT of the old master catalog to the
ESA master catalog as a usercatalog, then you run an EXPORT TEMPORARY to tape,
follow by an EXPORT DISCONNECT to disconnect the old master. After that vary
the old master catalog device offline and do a second IMPORT INTOEMPTY using
the tape of the exported catalog, this will create a copy of the old master
catalog that you need.

Care should be taking in that you have all the tolerance PTFS on the old
DFP system, and of course the key here is BACKUP....BACKUP....BACKUP.

Sorry about the cross-post, I didn't quite know where this belongs.

Are there any normal instances where a terminal attached to an A port
on a 3274 (41A) will display a "B" in the status line instead of an "A"?

If not, does something need to be reconfigured via software, or is a
hardware change required?

Like Leonard said, all it should take is an IPL.

You might want to look at COFDLF, CSVLLA, COFVLF in parmlib to
take advantage of expanded.  Ex. in COFVLF, you can cache user
catalog to dataspaces, allow lla libraries, RACF, clists and other
libraries to take advantage of expanded.

Try SAR (Sysout Archive and Retrieval) from LEGENT (originally from Goal).
We use SAR to keep the MVS system SYSLOGS online.  After each day, the logs

It is my understanding that the display of "A" or "B" in in Operator
Information Area (OIA), second column, does _not_ related to the
adapter port, but does indicate whether the device (control unit) is
operating in non-SNA ("A") or SNA ("B") mode.  On a DFT device, the OIA
may not be exactly the same as on a dumb (oops, non-programmable
workstation) terminal.

Subject:      Product Acquisition/Evaluation

   Someone here has asked our technical advisory group to develop a
process for evaluating proposed products prior to their purchase.  The
object here is to have a set of 'canned' steps that would be gone
through to set up the specifications for a product or group of
products.  In the past, products were purchased or developed based
upon a task force's recommendations and each task force was supposed
to develop their evaluation criteria as they saw fit, depending upon
what they were looking at.  Now, some people want to see if a more
structured approach to this can be developed so there will be
something for a task force to use as a jumping off point.

   I envision this as starting out with what I will call the "General
Specifications," or what we want whatever we buy to accomplish in very
basic terms.  This might be nothing more than a glorified wish list
but will cover what we want to accomplish.  Then, a set of "Functional
Specifications," or *how* we need this to be done would follow this
and contain such aspects as existing (i.e., related) products and
procedures, operating system dependencies, etc., and probably
information on possible future directions we might be taking in that
area.  For example, a bullet on this list might be: "Contact Systems
for current release of MVS, complete with PTF level of DFP" or:
"Subsystem dependencies -- DB2 v.r.m." I suspect that some variation
of the "Functional Specifications" might be given to a potential
vendor as the equivalent of an RFP, too.

   For those who already have such product evaluation procedures in
place, am I on the right track with my thinking or am I 180 degrees
here?  If I'm heading into the rough, what am I missing?  What aspects
of product acquisition/evaluation should be included in such a
document?  Maybe I should ask an even more basic question: Does anyone
have anything like what I'm describing that they'd be willing to
share?

   Thank you.

It's more complex than that... after adding or removing memory (regular or
ESTOR), one has to release and rebuild the processor configuration (which
requires at least a Power-On Reset)...  then, when MVS IPL's, RSM reads the
new storage configuration and knows what new (or different-sized) storage
tables to build (in the old days of MVS/XA(?), if the tables changed enough,
which adding ESTOR for the first time would certainly do, an IPL without CLPA
would fail...  but with the RSM address space in MVS/ESA 3.1.3, a simple IPL
_may_ be sufficient).

Since the processor configuration determines what tables are built, it
doesn't matter much whether the memory is online or not at IPL...
reconfigurable memory (including all ESTOR) can be either offline or
online while the system is up.

Specifically, COBOL II and COBOL/370.
   I saw the mail items on this that were circulated earlier and I
was hoping that would blossom into a full-blown discussion.
   Has anyone out there chosen/installed COBOL/370?  If so, what
pitfalls have you encountered?  What should we watch out for as we
move in that direction?  Would you recommend that we go straight to
COBOL/370 or move to COBOL II initially, then convert to COBOL/370 at
a later date?
   Any information you have would be most useful.
   Thanks.

We are considerating the purchase of some communication software to communicate
maniframe to mainframe (NJE or RJE) and have been given the names of the
following products as suggestions by another company:
  - SUPERTRAQS
  - SEQUIOA
  - BARRSNA
  - BARR
  - TANDEM
Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about any of these or know a
phone number of any.  Since we do not have any of this type of software yet,
any input on this software or any other software will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

PLSORT VM/VMX is a sort product which is available from Phase Linear
Systems.  I am currently evaluating the product as a possible replacement
to Syncsort.

If anyone on this list has had any experiences with PLSORT and/or its
vendor, I would be interested in hearing from you.  I am particularly
concerned with issues of product support and reliability.

Thanks in advance,
