  • 1.  So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu

    Posted Sep 21, 2009 05:38 AM
    Well, listees, what a long strange trip it's been . . . After fifteen years=
    as a SysProg in a VSE hybrid environment (with a few side projects managin=
    g a Data General minicomputer and HP scientific workstations running CAD/CA=
    M applications), I worked for five years in native VSE/ESA when we converte=
    d our legacy APICS in-house system to CAS, then we outsourced to a service =
    bureau running OS (and later zOS) so I got into the application end of thin=
    gs, and now . . .

    Our conversion to Oracle/E-Business Suite running on Linux is complete.

    Thanks to everyone in this wonderfully generous user community for all the =
    help over the years. You're all certainly a tough act to follow and I wish=
    you all the best.

    "Ditto to ""hard act to follow"". I haven't found its equal since we pulled the plug on our mainframe.

    UCFCICZ question
    "Hello All:



    We have one CICSPROD region that talks to two IDMS regions IDMS1 and IDMS2.



    We did this by having unique IDMSINTC, IDMSCINT and UCFCICS modules.



    CICS release is TS 3.2 and IDMS release is 15.0 SP5.



    Here is my issue how do you handle DFHZNEP when you have two separate
    UCFCICZ load modules and two separate IDMS Regions?



    Here is the code but I am not sure that it is really working for IDMS1?

    IDMS DC Programs and LE COBOL
    "Hello All,

    I am currently running REL. 15 SP5. I have install LE COBOL libraries =
    to our start up decks for our three production CVs. I have added the RHDCLE=
    FE program to each one of the SYSGENs and have removed optional APAR 49 fro=
    m the system. Everything appears to be running fine but I have 12 IDMS DC C=
    OBOL programs so far that are going into a loop. The applications folks are=
    telling me that it appears to be in the transfer process when the program =
    is executing. Has anyone experience a similar problem and determine a solut=
    ion? Thanks in advance for your help.

    "John, have you attempted to recompile the COBOL programs with a
    LE-COBOL compiler ?

    We had some problems going from VS COBOL to LE which were resolved by
    recompile under LE-COBOL.
