1.2.2 Mergers/Acquisitions As with corporate consolidations, mergers and acquisitions present an equal number of challenges when having to incorporate the I/S organizations of the companies involved. A challenge that clearly presents itself is when the organizations involved run different host based operating systems (such as OS/390 and VSE/ESA). I[...]

manner. That is, not concurrent with OS/390 and/or VM/ESA. This has lead users to ponder whether VSE is a viable and strategic S/390 operating system. This lack of confidence has forced these users to look at OS/390 as a more stable and strategic operating system with a viable long term outlook. An outlook that often catches the eye of upper I/S ma[...]

OS/390 systems managed storage (DFSMS) provide enhanced system resource allocation and management. The Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM), Removable Media Manager (RMM) and basic storage device allocation of OS/390 provide functions not inherent in the VSE environment. However, some of these functions are available from independent software vendor [...]

1.3.5 Staff Availability In recent years S/390 application and system programming resources have become increasingly more difficult to acquire. This is particularly true for the VSE user. As the current information systems curriculums focus on the more current technologies, the traditional VSE system programming, and to some degree OS/390, skills a[...]

Sizing the Effort This chapter discusses the following topics: 2.1, Introduction to Sizing 2.2, OS/390 Components/Products/Subsystems 2.3, What Changes Between VSE and OS/390? 2.4, Who is Affected by This Migration? 2.5, Approaches to Migration 2.6, Educational Requirements 2.7, Scope of Work and Challenges 2.8, Cost Considerations 2.1 I[...]

2.1.2 Areas of VSE and OS/390 Differences In order to properly assess and size the magnitude of the migration project, it is first necessary to understand some of the basic differences between the two operating systems. Once these differences are understood a realistic or more reasonable project outlook can be determined. The purpose of this sectio[...]

document is organized by source language type and goes into great detail at that level and includes the I/O considerations. The conversion of the CICS applications consists of two steps. First, the VSE version of the CICS application subsystem is replaced with an OS/390 version. The two different versions of CICS contain the interfaces to the respe[...]

Sequential DASD files are compatible between VSE and OS/390. However, OS/390 does not support sequential (SAM) files located within VSAM managed space. These files will have to be reloaded to different DASD areas before OS/390 can process them. DL/I databases are compatible with IMS databases 1 if the ″ IMSCOMP ″ parameter was specified during [...]

The reasons for the choice are numerous, b[...]

• OS/390 production is realized at an early time in the migration. When the first kernel is completed it is cut over to OS/390 production. This could be at a very early time in the migration thus providing early OS/390 feedback. However, this may not be the advantage it appears to be. Dual OS/390 and VSE production environments exist as VSE produ[...]

A conversion team is normally chosen that will be dedicated to the project until its end. Included with this team will be (perhaps) two application programmers. Naturally, the number varies with the size and complexity of the project. The team is responsible for converting all VSE applications. (As previously mentioned a program conversion aid is n[...]

• Staff availability Deciding to use in-house staff as part of the migration makes it difficult to perform regular job responsibilities while they are involved with the migration project. This is particularly true of applications staff as current application development and maintenance has to be put on hold. • Staff Skills When using in-house s[...]

• Mass conversion - (Cortex-MS) • Program inventory - (IBM OPTI-AUDIT) 2. 6 Educational Requirements 2.6.1 Introduction The educational requirements for the migration project will generally take the form of developing OS/390 skills; that is, JCL and conversion techniques. With the latter, strategies will have to be developed to convert things s[...]

2.7 Scope of Work and Challenges When converting VSE applications to OS/390 several tasks have to be performed. The following sections describe the most important work items involved and some of the challenges which can be encountered during the execution of these tasks: • Application inventory • Program conversion • JCL conversion • File m[...]

2.7.2 Program Conversion The conversion of VSE application code to OS/390 is often (but falsely) believed to be the center, most challenging, most labor consuming and most critical part of the conversion, but it is not. With few exceptions (see VSE positioning), it is a simple code modification which does not change program logic, and can nearly al[...]

JCL: it is hidden inside the code (main or sub-program) associated with the step. Some of the file attributes coded in the VSE JCL are superseded by the disk or tape manager: the proper file attributes must be retrieved in the tape or disk manager ′ s catalog or in the VTOC listings. In short, it is not possible to understand the flowchart of the[...]

flows. For example: You can have hundreds of files with the same name, for example ″ WORK1 ″. WORK1 can exist in different jobs. Most of the time the WORK1 files will be different from and unrelated to each other. You can however have JobA use a file named WORK1 and JobB running at the same time and also using a file called WORK1. JobA WORK1 ge[...]

The main challenge is the identification and classification of files for the migration. All files that will be used as input to a job after the switchover to OS/390 operations must be migrated. Files recreated by the first OS/390 production cycles do not need to be migrated, and are better off not being migrated (at least temporary files, cataloged[...]

2.7.5 Project Management As with application inventory or JCL conversion, the management of a VSE to OS/390 conversion project is nearly always underestimated. The VSE to OS/390 conversion is one of the rare projects that require a coordinated effort from each of the three data processing departments: applications, technical support and operations.[...]

procedures. Most will simply try to reproduce with the new OS/390 product what they were doing in VSE with or without assistance of a product. The challenge is to: • Understand how OS/390 works, • Understand how the OS/390 job scheduler or report manager is best used, • Define specific local implementation rules and guidelines (standards), an[...]

The purpose here is not to predict or estimate project costs but to identify major cost elements and any relevant financial resource considerations. • Cost/Benefit Requirements  Reasonable and predictable timeframe  Reduced internal staff participation focused on learning OS/390  No delay/postponement of development and maintenance  C[...]

3.1.2.2 Take Advantage Of Conversion Tools and Automation Executing a migration with a mass conversion tool and automated processes can reduce both the time and people required to migrate from VSE to OS/390. Where it is not a large task to convert three programs and two strings of JCL, it is a large and difficult task to increase the scope by one t[...]

The hired conversion specialists can be deployed for converting the in-house developed applications, and leading the overall migration effort, including: • Following the migration methodology and the project plan • Identifying and addressing the conversion requirements • Converting the VSE applications to OS/390 • Design and delivery of a s[...]

3. 2 Plan Components 3.2.1 A ppro ach For the purposes of providing more specific guidance for conversion projects, an approach to the migration had to be determined. This is also true for the migration effort itself, an approach must be adopted. In these discussions, we will describe the environment associated with using the Mass Conversion method[...]

If a mass migration/conversion tool is used someone will need to become familiar with the product and the mass migration method. The team members should consult the product documentation related to their responsibilities and run the sample conversion. The functions and responsibilities of each member of the team depend to some extent on local condi[...]

3.2.2.3 Applications Programmers The applications programmers help the project manager to develop migrations procedures. They also test converted applications. They should be thoroughly familiar with critical applications (both online and batch) and understand both VSE and OS/390. Their tasks and responsibilities include: • Helping to design the [...]

3.2.5 Education OS/390, and to some degree migration/conversion skills are crucial factors to the success of the migration project. Identification of skill requirements and how these requirements will be satisfied is the main objective of the education plan. Listed are the key elements to effective education planning: • Identify personnel (who) ?[...]

3.3.2 Historical Perspective The progressive conversion approach was the only solution available until the early 80s. More recently modern VSE operations have substantially grown in size, complexity and integration, making it more difficult to implement a progressive conversion. It is also because the mass conversion approach, which was in a pionee[...]

automated conversion defects. The switchover of an entire VSE production to OS/390 over a weekend cannot be improvised: it requires perfect precision and planning by experienced conversion specialists. The complexity of powerful mass conversion tools makes it difficult to staff with internal non-conversion-expert staff exclusively, because of the l[...]

• Program clauses that restrict device independence are eliminated; that is, I/O assignment clauses removed from programs, placed in JCL. • Program console interactions (for example, COBOL DISPLAY/ACCEPTs) are removed from being executed at program runtime; rather this input is requested at job setup time via job preparation panels and prompts.[...]

Chapter 4. Job Control Language (JCL) Differences and Considerations The following sections describe the major tasks and considerations involved in converting VSE JCL to MVS JCL and the differences between them. These sections are divided into the following categories: • 4.1, The Philosophy of JCL in System/390 • 4.2, High Level Similarities ?[...]

OS/360 (PCP, MFT, MVT), the predecessors to MVS, and OS/390, specified Job Control Language but when JCL was needed for BOS and TOS, a much smaller implementation was required. Different JCL philosophies developed from this background. 4.1.1 VSE/ESA ′ s Job Control Language Philosophy Within the VSE/ESA philosophy for Job Control Language, severa[...]

Because there is no concept of permanent ASSGN or specification of standard label facilities, all resource requirements for each job step must be included explicitly in each job step. In OS/390, these definitions can be included as procedures which can reduce the repetitive coding of JCL statements (specifically DD statements). To understand the st[...]

Unlike VSE, the operator does not manipulate elements within a job stream, nor is he given the opportunity to correct JCL errors. The processes are much more automated in OS/390 under the theory that the system will be better utilized and jobs run more efficiently without operator intervention. 4. 2 High Level Similarities A high level comparison o[...]

4.2.1.7 Instream Data Both operating systems allow Instream Data in the middle of the JCL. This is data that will be processed by the executing program. 4.2.1.8 Variables The JCL in both operating systems will accept variables. These variables are set with the // SET statement in MVS, or SETPARM in VSE. 4.2.1.9 Conditional JCL Conditional JCL exist[...]

Instream data will always follow an EXEC statement, and it is the responsibility of the executing program which is reading the instream data to recognize the end of that data. By default, the instream data delimiter is the ″/ * ″ statement, although an application program can choose its own delimiter. This allows programs other than JCL to read[...]

4.3.1.2 Data Driven Segmentation of Output An artifact of this sequential processing in VSE is that the spooling system extracts its control statements (JECL) from the input as it is being spooled. When the input processing crosses the input stream position where the JECL statement was located, the spooling system will take the action specified by [...]

expansion for subsequent steps. In general, this is not possible in MVS JCL in the OS/390 environment. 4.3.2 JCL Expansion In VSE, JCL is expanded at execution time. The most current changes, even those changed two seconds before the job begins execution are included. The first step could change a procedure that is used by the third step. In OS/390[...]

// PAUSE mount tape 123456 on an available drive. // ASSGN SYS005,CUU - or - // ASSGN SYS005,Drive The operator gets an error message and enters the correct tape assignment, such as: // ASSGN SYS005,481 Another example is TLBL without VOLSER or a known invalid VOLSER. // TLBL 999999 Forcing error conditions in VSE JCL that require operator interven[...]

There is no equivalent function in OS/390. Many users write their own routine to replace the PAUSE function, if needed, or use the existing automation functions of OS/390. 4.3.4 Allocation of Resources The allocation of resources in OS/390 occurs at step initialization time. This is a big difference from VSE where allocation of resources occurs at [...]

the conversion of the JCL which may have to be converted differently, depending on in which partition the job normally runs. There is no equivalent to standard labels in OS/390. Labels must be spelled out in each step. One way to keep a common set of labels in OS/390 is to use the JCL INCLUDE statement. In rare cases another possibility is to use d[...]

Understanding tool provides a graphical analysis of your VSE/ESA JCL job stream. You can find further details at the following World Wide Web sites: http://www.software.ibm.com/ad/va2000 http://www.software.ibm.com/ad/cobol The JCL Analyzer is shipped as part of VSE Central Functions in VSE/ICCF library 59. It consists of a number of members, inclu[...]

• For unlabeled tapes - the DEVADDR is the only link between the program and the JCL (there is no TLBL). Either the DEVADDR or the DTFname can be used as DDNAME. • For card devices - the DEVADDR links the DTF to a card reader or puncher; Either the DEVADDR or the DTFname can be used as DDNAME. • For print devices - the DEVADDR is the only lin[...]

In OS/390 the DATE function can be replaced by a control card, a parameter on the EXEC statement, or a date simulation tool. 4.3.9.2 UPSI The UPSI switches that were on the 1401s got a second life in DOS with the System/360. UPSI can be tested in RPG, Assembler and in COBOL. For more information on the manipulation of UPSI with Assembler see Chapte[...]

The VSE file-id (the label), which can be up to 17 characters long, is equivalent to the MVS DSname, which can be up to 44 characters long. 4.3.10.4 M TC Statement Magnetic Tape Control statements provide control over tape processing including writing tape marks and unloading tapes. MTC has no direct equivalent in MVS: OPEN automatically positions [...]

location for these. In OS/390 these duplicate names need to be resolved somehow. Refer to Chapter 5, “Disk and Tape Storage Considerations” on page 9 7 . 4.3.10.9 Conditional JCL VSE/ESA added conditional JCL processing in the early 1980s, with VSE/SP Version 2. This conditional JCL is characterized by several new JCL statements, including // I[...]

COND Parameter on the EXEC Statement To indicate the results of its execution, a program can issue a return code. Using a COND parameter, you can test the return code and, based on the test, either bypass or execute a step. The COND parameter can be specified on either a JOB or EXEC statement. See the JCL User ′ s Guide for explanation and exampl[...]

The command statement is used primarily by the operator. Use the COMMAND statement instead of the JCL command statement. // COMMAND Specifies an MVS or JES command that the system[...]

4.4 JECL JECL is very important in VSE and is commonly used. The difficulty from a conversion standpoint is to determine where the job is due to having two different job cards in JCL. The JECL statement is a POWER job, the DOS Job or VSE Job is the // JOB. The POWER job is like the MVS JOB. This is where the class and priority information is specif[...]

4.5.2 S am ple MVS JCL The task surrounding the conversion of JCL is more than mapping between VSE JCL using this syntax and MVS JCL using that syntax. At the base of these two JCLs are different philosophies. A parameter by parameter comparison is insufficient. Comparing the VSE DLBL/EXTENT to a DD Statement is only part of the story. These exampl[...]

A method that used two SYSOUT devices and output two DCBs in the program could also work. 3. PROGRAM2 Changes PROGRAM2 has to change for OS/390 to simulate the imbedded LST cards in the VSE job (for DEST=KCJONES and DEST=HERBERT).

Chapter 5. Disk and Tape Storage Considerations The VSE/SP and VSE/ESA systems and MVS and OS/390 systems have some conceptual similarities and data compatibilities for disk and tape files. This chapter will discuss the similarities and differences between the VSE and OS/390 environments in the following areas: • 5.1, Access Method Similarities a[...]

DAM (or BDAM) Direct Access Method (or Basic Direct Access Method) -- used for disk devices. Still in some use, but often replaced by VSAM functions in many VSE shops. Generally requires complex application handling for processing, and may be dependent upon physical device characteristics. Not supported on Fixed-Block Architecture disks. In OS/390,[...]

In OS/390, the application program linkage is handled through the SVC interfaces of the operating system. In either case, the application program functional request (GET, PUT, and so on) will cause the next logical record to be retrieved from a buffer or from external media. Channel programs are created, and the operating system will cause the chan[...]

As it is desirable from both performance and integrity perspectives to separate user data sets into several user catalogs, it is critical that data set names be defined with the above information in mind. If, for example, all data set names begin with CUSTOMER as the first node, then all the data sets will be defined in only one user catalog. If th[...]

VSE, although it doesn ′ t keep track of f[...]

5 . 6 VSAM Differences 5.6.1 Introduction This section covers the differences between OS/390 VSAM and VSE/VSAM. In OS/390, the functions of VSAM and other OS/390 access methods are provided by the OS/390 Data Facility Product (DFP). The term ICF refers to the Integrated Catalog Facility. The term AMS refers to Access Method Services and/or the prog[...]

If access to a disk volume is lost, DFSMShsm can be used to perform a full-volume restore with update. You specify ICF catalog format by including the ICFCATALOG keyword in the AMS DEFINE MASTERCATALOG or DEFINE USERCATALOG command. ICFCATALOG is the default when defining a catalog in OS/390. VSAM data sets cataloged in ICF catalogs have the UNIQUE[...]

The data set names of the user catalogs are contained in the OS/390 master catalog. Information necessary to locate the user catalogs is also defined in the master catalog. The high-level-qualifiers of data sets that are to be cataloged in each user catalog are also identified in the OS/390 master catalog. OS/390 data set names are divided into qua[...]

Do not use JOBCAT or STEPCAT statements in OS/390 In predecessors of today ′ s OS/390 systems, it was not uncommon to use JCL DD statements specifying user catalogs to be used for a job or a step (JOBCAT or STEPCAT). This procedure was obsoleted with the advent of the Integrated Catalog Facility and its ALIAS mechanism, and it should not be used.[...]

5.6.4.1 Accessing a VSE/VSAM Catalog from an OS/390 System Your migration plan might include the requirement to access VSE/VSAM catalogs from the OS/390 system. Under no circumstances should you attempt to share VSAM catalogs or data sets between OS/390 and VSE/VSAM concurrently. There is no system data integrity provided for concurrent access shar[...]

5.6.4.3 Moving a VSAM Catalog to a Different DASD Type VSE/VSAM provided no facility for moving a catalog to a different device type or volume serial number. OS/390 VSAM provides this facility for ICF catalogs via the AMS REPRO and EXPORT/IMPORT commands. Using the REPRO function, you may specify the old catalog as the input and the new catalog as [...]

VSE/ESA Version 2.2 included new VSAM support for compression of VSAM data sets. The implementations of the two VSAM systems are not compatible, due to the differences between VSAM catalogs used by VSE, and ICF catalogs used by OS/390. COMPRESSED data sets defined in VSE will have to be unloaded from VSE and reloaded in OS/390. REPRO or EXPORT/IMPO[...]

VSE SAM/VSAM data sets may also be converted to VSAM ESDS data sets. However, this is not recommended as it requires changes to the programs.

5.6.6.1 Cross-Region Sharing - Single CPU Environment Whenever a VSAM data set (ACB) is opened by more than one control block structure concurrently, data integrity must be considered. OS/390 VSAM offers two levels of protection and/or sharing within a single CPU. 1 . O S/ 3 9 0 will prevent concurrent update/update or update/read access to a VSAM [...]

OS/390 VSAM Cross-Region SHR(4) VSE VSAM SHR(4 x) will refresh buffers from disk for every read I/O, and will also lock the record, CI, or CA as appropriate to protect the file and user data from corruption by possible concurrent update activity. SHR(4) data sets can have inserts or updates which may cause CI and CA splits, and secondary allocation[...]

5.6.6.2 Single Region Data Set Sharing Single ACB Open - Multiple String Processing Full write integrity is provided within a single region provided the user uses a single ACB to process the data set. In high level languages an ACB equates to: 1. a SELECT statement in COBOL 2 . a file DECLARE i n PL/I 3. an ″ F ″ statement in RP G I I If multip[...]

5.6.6.3 Cross-System and DASD Sharing You are in a cross-system sharing environment whenever you allow more than one copy of any operating system to access the same DASD volume concurrently. This includes multiple OS/390 guests running under VM or PR/SM. You must not attempt to update via DASD sharing between VSE and OS/390 systems . The methods of[...]

Chapter 9. Telecommunications Subsystems VSE and OS/390 platforms rely on the same set of communications products and protocols. Although the product sets are the same, some differences exist in product implementation and usage. The differences are primarily related to the operating systems and their file structures. This chapter will discuss the s[...]

9.1.1 Product Installation The VTAM installation procedures for OS/390 are very different from those for VSE, since this is the area where the operating system differences are most influential. To install OS/390 VTAM you must perform the following steps: • Allocate data sets for VTAM. OS/390 VTAM can make use of a large number of data sets, depen[...]

12.4.4.1 Program Termination There are three COBOL program termination statements: • EXIT PROGRAM • GOBACK • STOP RUN There are some differences in the effect of these statements between DOS/VS COBOL and COBOL for OS/390 and VM. Table 33 gives a comparison of the behavior of these COBOL program termination statements, for DOS/VS COBOL and COB[...]

12.4.5.2 File Attribute Mismatches DOS/VS COBOL file open processing does not always check that the attributes of the file definition in your program exactly match the file attributes of the physical file (for example, as defined for a VSAM file in the LISTCAT). To conform with ANSI 85 requirements, COBOL for OS/390 and VM open processing carries o[...]

12.5.1 V S COBOL II CICS Programs COBOL for OS/390 and VM and OS/390 do not support CICS macro-level programs. If you have any programs written in macro-level CICS you must convert them to command-level CICS. If you need to change your programs to cater for these differences, you can do so before you migrate them to OS/390. Then, if you prefer, you[...]

12.8 Compiler Options This section discusses some of the compiler option considerations when converting from the various VSE COBOL compilers to COBOL for OS/390 and VM.

Chapter 1 3 . Assembler 13.1 Assembler Products In OS/390, the High-Level Assembler for MVS and VM Program Product (5696-234) is required for system generation (SYSGEN) and maintenance activities. It can also be used for application programming projects, and must be used when assembler routines are designed for 31-bit addressing facilities. See Hig[...]

The selection of a particular option of MVS may require redesigning the application programs. In addition, a program logic change may also be forced by attempting to simulate a VSE function under MVS. Examples of these possibilities include multitasking, interrupt handling, and communication region accessing. The input and output components of the [...]

13.2.1.1 Initiation Under VSE, main programs (those programs that are invoked by the operating system directly) are not required to save any registers upon entry. VSE assembly programs are not required to provide a save area unless that program invokes (calls) another program. In MVS, all programs are executed as subroutines including the program t[...]

VSE CALL Entrypoint ,(PARAMETER LIST) (15) MVS CALL Entrypoint ,(ADDRESS),VL (15) ,ID=number Call is used the same way in MVS as it is in VSE, except when it is used with the LOAD macro. For a discussion of this difference, see the topic “LOAD Macro” on page 277 in this section. In addition, if a variable number of parameters may be passed, the[...]

Under MVS, the RETURN macro returns control to the calling program and signals normal termination of the returning program. Control returns after restoring the address of the calling program ′ s save area into register 13. The return is made by executing a branch instruction using the address in register 14. You can write the RETURN macro to rest[...]

programs. You can also leave the tests in your program and provide an UPSI constant in your COMRG macro that would always satisfy the tests. • The MVS macro instruction TIME provides the system date (Julian or Gregorian) in a user work area.

13.2.2 Multitasking Macros Under VSE, when you specify asynchronous processing at system generation time, the multitasking group of macros is supported to permit more than one task to execute within each partition. Each subtask must be initiated by the main task: control then passes to the subtask. The storage protection key and priority of the par[...]

ENTRYPOINT In VSE, it defines the storage address of the entry point of the subtask. The entry point must be in storage before the subtask can be successfully attached. The EP, EPLOC or DE parameter in MVS causes the required module to be loaded into storage (if it is not already in storage) and begins execution at the entry specified. The entry-po[...]

terminate normally. MVS does not permit the subtask to issue its own DETACH. If neither ECB nor ETXR is specified in the ATTACH, the subtask is removed from the system automatically at normal termination. In this case, no DETACH should be issued. 13.2.2.2 WAIT/POST Macros The two operating systems provide macros that synchronize task execution if o[...]

This number may be less than or equal to the number of ECBs specified in the macro. 13.2.2.3 RCB/ENQ/DEQ Macros This set of macros enables you to protect data files or other resources when processing a multitasking environment. The VSE RCB macro generates an aligned doubleword resource control block that functions much like an ECB. The[...]

13.2.3 Interrupt Handling Routines Interrupt routines take care of the interval timer, abnormal conditions, and operator communication interrupts. Abnormal condition interrupts will not be addressed in this publication. 13.2.3.1 Interval Timer Interrupts Basically, the two ways of utilizing the interval timer in your programs are routine handling a[...]

Wait Handling This method of using the interval timer allows you to set the timer and wait for the time to elapse. The job or task is prevented from executing until the interrupt occurs. ┌─────┬──────────┬──────────────────────────┐ │ │ TECB │ │ │ ?[...]

The preceding combination of VSE macro instructions allows you to execute a routine when an operator attention interrupt occurs and to return to the program that was being executed before the interruption. MVS has no equivalent function. It is possible, however, to simulate this function by using the WTOR macro. This MVS macro writes a message requ[...]

13.2.6.1 List and Execute Macro Forms The list and execute forms of data management macro instructions, used together provide the same services available from the standard form of the macro. The list form of the macro provides a parameter list to be passed to either the control program or another problem program, depending on the micro instruction.[...]

13.2.6.4 I/O Error Checking When an input/output error occurs under MVS, a user-written synchronous error routine (SYNAD) can be given control. You can use this routine to analyze exceptional conditions or uncorrectable errors. The error can be skipped or accepted, or processing can be terminated.

4. Since 3 7 records (b l oc ks ) will f i t on one 3340 track, the three-byte key (ranging from 001-999) is divided by 37 to get the relative track number and the remainder will be the number of the record on this track. If a remainder of O is computed, this record will still fit on the previous track; therefore TT = n, R = 0 will be reset to TT =[...]

To create a file using this method under MVS, you would normally initialize each track by writing a capacity record (R0) and erasing the 2.sp of the track. I n VSE, you would do this by using the WRITE RZERO macro; in MVS you use the WRITE SZ macro. However, in MVS, you need not update the track address because this is done automatically by the WRI[...]

When updating records, it is convenient to use the list and execute forms of READ/WRITE macros rather than the standard forms and to request dynamic buffering. To update a direct access file that was created sequentially, as in Figure 51 on page 325, use coding similar to that of the example in Figure 4 4 o n page 318, which uses the list and execu[...]

In MVS, to make a request for feedback, insert the letter F in the type code of a READ/WRITE macro (DIF, DAF and so on). The format of the blockaddress field after feedback, however, is determined by the OPTCD parameter. If the OPTCD parameter does not contain an F, feedback will be in the form of MBBCCHHR. If you code an F in the OPTCD parameter, [...]

13.2.6.14 PIOCS EXCP is often used in VSE in association with card files (for example, SYSIPT), print files (for example, SYSLST) or the operator console (for example, SYSLOG).

Chapter 1 5 . PL/I The PL/I language compiler implemented on VSE is the DOS PL/I Optimizing Compiler (5736-PL3). In MVS, the PL/I language is implemented by the OS PL/I Optimizing Compiler Version 1 (5734-PL3), and OS PL/I Version 2 Optimizing Compiler (5668-910). As the OS PL/I Version 2 Optimizing Compiler implements more of the PL/I language tha[...]

15.1.2 Extended Precision Available with the MVS version of the PL/I compiler, extended precision floating point allows working with variables of two double-words. This extended precision is requested by specifying a precision greater than 16 for decimal float variables and 53 for binary float variables. DOS PL/I does not support extended precision[...]

15.1.6 Parameters Passed to a Main Program It is possible to pass parameters to a PL/I program having the option MAIN by declaring the entry point as follows: P:PROCEDURE(PARAM) OPTIONS(MAIN); DCL PARAM CHAR(100) VARYING; When control is passed to the program, the character string PARAM will contain the parameter passed from the PARM field of the E[...]

15.2.1.2 DYNBUF In MVS the buffers are always acquired dynamically by the compiler. This option is therefore suppressed. 15.2.1.3 LIMSCONV An option of DOS PL/I to generate strong external references to PL/I conversion library modules only for those conversions deemed ″ reasonable ″ for the data types of variables that appear in GET DATA and GE[...]

15.2.2.5 SMESSAGE or LMESSAGE This option requests the compiler to supply messages in short or long format. This is particularly useful for interactive users using only slow terminals (printers). 15.2.2.6 IMPRECISE This is used for 360/91 and 360/195 only. 15.2.2.7 INTERRUPT This option requests that control be given to an ATTENTION type of ON- UNI[...]

15.2.3.4 SPIE STAE As user-program execution options they authorize PL/I to issue SPIE and STAE macros to intercept program checks and abends. It is possible with NOSPIE and NOSTAE to prevent this and in this case it is no longer certain that the management of errors will be handled by system ABEND or by an interruption handling program. This, ther[...]

15.4.1 Not Supported in MVS 15.4.1.1 MEDIUM Physical and logical unit type. This option is ignored by the MVS compiler. The error severity is 8 and gives correct execution. In MVS PL/I the name of the DD statement (DDname) is the name of the file as specified in the DCL. If some other name must be used, it can be supplied via the TITLE option on th[...]

15.4.1.10 NOTAPEMK NOLABEL These are specified in the JCL in the LABEL parameter of the DD statement. 15.4.2 Supported but to be Avoided In OS most of the environment parameters can be specified in the DCB. At OPEN, MVS merges the information from the program, from the label if the file exists already, and from the DCB parameters in the DD statemen[...]

15.5.2.1 SORT FIELDS SORT data: a character string containing an image of the SORT statement. This card image must begin and end with a blank. It will contain the sort criteria and the description of these criteria. 15.5.2.2 RECORD RECORD information: A character string containing a card image of the RECORD control statement. It too must begin and [...]

15.5.2.9 SORT TECHNIQUES The user can specify a particular sort technique: PEER Peerage sort BALN Balanced CRCX Criss-cross OSCL Oscillating POLY Polyphase The sort call is, therefore, little different to that of DOS PL/I. In all cases, reading the Programmers ′ Guide for the appropriate version of the sort is recommended. 15.6 Checkpoint-Restart[...]

15.6.3 PLICANC Another possibility offered in the MVS PL/I optimizer is the ability to annul a request for an automatic restart. The function PLICANC provides this service. In checkpoint-restart MVS PL/I offers more facilities than DOS PL/I. The conversion of PL/I programs poses few syntax problems. On the other hand, to take advantage of automatic[...]

15.7.3 Options Specific to MVS The options A, E and 0 are used only in a multitasking environment: A Dump all tasks O Dump only the task requesting the dump E Use of an exit 15.7.4 Compatibility Parameters unsupported by the PL/I dump routines are ignored if they are used when calling dump facilities. 15.8 Return Codes in PL/I 15.8.1 Setting Return[...]

15.9.2 Automatic Restart An automatic restart in the case of an ABEND can only take place if an ABEND is actually detected; it must therefore be forced. This is the role of PLIREST. 15.10 Overlay Structures Overlay structures defined in DOS PL/I optimizer programs can remain valid in MVS PL/I optimizer programs. However, the CALL PLIOVLY statements[...]

large enough ISA to reduce subsequent GETMAINs and FREEMAINs to zero (or some very small number). This is one of the most important things a user can do to improve the performance of a PL/I program. 15.12 PL/I and CICS 15.12.1 File Support The only PL/I file supported by PL/I under CICS is SYSPRINT, and its usage must be limited. The functions LINE[...]

DB2 Guest Sharing With DB2, VM, VSE and OS/390 users can now share a DB2 database among several VSE and/or OS/390 guests. For most customers, consolidating several guest databases into one DB2 database reduces administrative work, si[...]

26.3.3.5 OS/390 Guest Considerations The considerations for defining OS/390 guests are no different from those associated with defining VSE guests. From the VM/ESA point of view, the actions taken to maximize the performance of a VSE guest, would be the same as those taken to maximize an OS/390 guest. For example, specifying resource goals is done [...]

26.5.1 OS/390 Maintenance Environment Early in the project a test SMP/E environment needs to be designed and built. This process involves ″ cloning ″ the OS/390 system libraries to provide a new target to apply OS/390 maintenance without compromising the OS/390 production environment. Since OS/390 was installed at the beginning of the project, [...]

26.6 Shared DASD vs. Cloned DASD The issue of whether to share DASD volumes and data sets between systems is decided on the basis of DASD space availability, need for multiple versions of a file, and the ability to manage updates between the two systems. 26.6.1 Shared DASD between OS/390 Test Systems (vs. Cloned DASD) The decision to share data set[...]

26.6.2 Shared DASD between VSE and OS/390 (vs. Cloned DASD) As mentioned in the previous section, it is risky to share DASD between VSE and OS/390 because there is no mechanism such as GRS to guarantee serialization between the two systems. If you decide to share, you must strictly control updates from the two systems, or be prepared to restore vol[...]

Chapter 28. Orientation to OS/390 Console Operation 28.1 Introduction There are enough differences between VSE and OS/390 operations to warrant each operator and systems programmer attending a class on the subject. This chapter is intended only to provide the reader with an overview of OS/390 console operations on a single system. (Multi-system or [...]

• NetView Consoles • TSCF Consoles • Programmed Operator Subsystems This chapter will only deal with MCS and SDSF consoles. 28.2.1 Controlling Consoles There is more to operating an OS/390 system than just entering commands and reading the messages. You should also be familiar with various console configuration options. See Chapters 2 and 3 i[...]

28.2.2.2 Display Areas These may be handy for operating a console with a lot of traffic, when you want to see a multi-line display without having it roll off the screen. However, operators need to be able to manipulate these display areas for efficient operation. Enter ″ K A,NONE ″ to get rid of display areas, or ″ K A,nn ″ to create an are[...]

28.3 Controlling the OS/390 System The OS/390 System commands are only a subset of the commands necessary to operate the system. JES2, VTAM, and many other OS/390 components also have a command language which is used to operate their subsystems. We recommend that systems programmers and operators attend a class on basic OS/390 (MVS) and JES2 facili[...]

28.3.3 Stopping the System There are several ways to stop or halt the system, and important subsystems. Here is a simple example of commands to stop the system: $Pxxx Drain all active JES2 printers, initiators and so on P TSO Stop Time-sharing Z NET,QUICK Stop VTAM C APPC Stop APPC (if active) D A,L Display active jobs to see what else needs to be [...]

28.4.3 JES2 Devices Devices such as printers, punches, TP lines, and spool offload tapes can be allocated by JES2 dynamically.

Chapter 30. Systems Management Philosophy and Methodology Many VSE installations have small staff and have mature systems which are changed relatively infrequently. As a user migrates from VSE to OS/390, their entire system -- hardware, software, and connections -- will be subject to more frequent changes. The workloads supported by their system wi[...]

In many smaller computer installations, where at most a few people are involved in system changes, ad-hoc and informal techniques have often proved adequate. All or us have seen a case where the complaint is lodged: ″ It doesn ′ t work right. ″ Oh, what seems to be the problem? ″ Payroll doesn ′ t work right. ″ ″ What did you change? [...]

Chapter 31. Diagnosing System Problems 31.1 Problem Determination Tools Several tools are available under OS/390 to help the system programmer diagnose problems. The majority of these tools are intended for system problems rather than application problems and are often activated under the guidance of the IBM or ISV support center. 31.2 Dumps There [...]

• Reduce the size of a stand-alone dump. You can reduce the size of a stand-alone dump as you transfer it from tape to a direct access storage device (DASD) for IPCS processing. 31.3.2 Traces There are a number of traces available in the OS/390 environment: • OS/390 System Trace. A low overhead trace that uses a System 390 architected instructi[...]

31.4 JES2 Diagnosis There are some JES2 mechanisms that can be used for problem determination. • $TRACE: JES2 internal tracing can be activated via $S TRACE; $T TRACEDEF; $P TRACE commands. These are typically requested by IBM service personnel. • SYMREC: Symptom records are recorded in the LOGREC file for some JES2 internally discovered proble[...]

addition, IPCS can be used to format the in-storage LOGREC buffers while analyzing a dump. 31.8 SYSLOG All system and job related messages along with all operator commands are written to the SYSLOG JES spool data set. SDSF (under TSO) can be used to view the SYSLOG to aid in problem determination. 31.9 DFSMS/MVS Diagnosis DFSMS/MVS provides many to[...]

No matter what utility is used to perform the backup and recovery of a catalog, the process isn ′ t complete until the catalog is resynchronized with the data sets as they currently exist.

32.1.2 Prerequisites There are two key requirements that need to be satisfied before embarking on a migration: 1 . T h e source code must be available for your applications. I f the source code does not exist then it must be rebuilt. 2 . A method t o transfer the source code to the OS/390 system. 32.1.3 Recommendations The following are recommendat[...]

32.1.3.5 Migrate the SNA Network Early If the migration plan includes converting an SNA communications network, then consider migrating ownership of the network from VSE to OS/390 within the two months that precede operating system switchover. At this time, switchover minus two months, the OS/390 system should be positioned for and nearly productio[...]

32.1.3.7 Two Phase Approach The migration project can be broken into a few logical pieces that may help its execution. One method that has been successful is to begin with a mini project, phase 1, to identify and resolve your inventory. Proceeding with a known inventory will allow more precise cost analysis (time, people resources and so on). The c[...]

32.2.2 Mass Conversion Overview / Benefits Mass conversion is the major distinction of the CORTEX-MS process. It results in a single switchover of the entire VSE application portfolio to OS/390 over a weekend. Until the switchover weekend, all converted applications run in production under VSE. By the end of the switchover weekend, all converted ap[...]

32.2.2.1 Automated Conversion There are several ways to automate some or all of the conversion. The automation that Cortex-MS provides is unique in that it is a mass conversion. After an extensive period of analysis, which includes running both pilot conversions and dummy conversions, you can, in a final mass conversion, convert all of your VSE app[...]

OS/390. Therefore, it is not required to freeze or follow up development, enhancement, or maintenance of applications during the conversion. 32.2.2.3 Mass Conversion (Switchover) The actual mass conversion, called the switchover, often takes place over a single weekend. Before switchover, the production workload runs under VSE. After switchover, th[...]

34.5 Duration Due to the data sharing requirements, the availability requirements, and, in general, the dynamic environment of the business, it was decided the mass conversion method was the way to migrate to MVS. In the past years of rapid growth not much time was spent defining and enforcing systems management disciplines which resulted in uncert[...]

about the same after switchover, with MVS showing a couple of percentage points higher. Since the workload at this installation is not the typical online on prime shift and batch on second and third, it was not as easy to make comparisons on a batch window length. Overall it appeared that throughput was much better. There were other performance ben[...]

Appendix A. Education Information The task of providing the right training, to the right people, at the right time, at the right location is a small project of its own. There are many variables to consider, including costs, not the smallest of which is simply determining if a particular course is available. A good training plan will be the right ba[...]

It is recommended that a class on TSO and ISPF, to help navigate through panels, be taken prior to the MVS Installation and SMPE class. The IBM SMPE class is a good and necessary prerequisite to the MVS install class. SMPE is similar to VSE MSHP. It provides key information on installing products and applying PTFs and is good for VSE systems progra[...]

A.3 Who will Provide the Training? Hiring a skilled MVS person for the migration, whether temporary or permanent, helps with the skill level of that one person. Don ′ t assume that the person is a skilled educator or will have time to teach a curriculum to other team members in his/her spare time. It is likely that this person will have a list of[...]

Appendix B. Mapping ISV Products and Functions This is a frequent topic of discussion with customers considering migrating. How a customer ′ s ISV products map to those contained in base OS/390 is always discussed. It is a common migration task to ensure there is equality. This equivalent function mapping will grow in importance as coexistence is[...]

There are two basic pieces of information that one should be able to obtain from the data set name: 1 . W h o owns i t ? 2. What i s i t? The following section will highlight all of the basic components that could potentially be used in a data set naming standard. C.2 Components of a Data Set Name Not all of the following levels of qualification ar[...]

individuals keep a standard LOGON ID, and change the set of filters instead of the IDs. As an example of this set of conventions, consider a common problem of constantly shifting workloads. If the Storage Administrator was always faced with getting the data for a given application and moving it to another system, then it would make good sense to ha[...]

− E3380D − E3380S − E3990M3 − E3990M2 The above example would allow various filtering techniques the flexibility of recognizing different sets of data easily. Some examples of this follow: • HLQ = E* -- All of the Engineering Data • HLQ = E3090* -- All of the 3090 CPU Family of Designs • HLQ = E3380* -- All of the 3380 DASD Family of [...]

readable, such as, a file called MASTER.PAYROLL.WEEKLY . This might be just too tempting to your average system hacker. A better choice might be MR.PY.WK. C.2.4 User Name This qualifier should allow the end creator to assign their own unique name to identify the particular set of a certain type of data; for example, with a master circuit file, ther[...]

C.3.2 Application Location If this application ever got moved to another site, then all of the data sets would have to be renamed. In some cases, it could be important to name the data by a location name, for example, CHICAGO. This could be perfectly acceptable in certain cases. Suppose there were two telephone directory files, ″ TELPHDIR.CHICAGO[...]

C.3.6 Access Method At one point in time, many installations adopted a policy of distinguishing VSAM data from non-VSAM data. The reality behind this standard was that there were many functions that were not supported for VSAM and this was an easy way to recognize that data. The main reason for this distinction was because of old VSAM catalogs and [...]

usability of the system and the need to manage it differently based on what set of data this actually is. C.4.2 VSAM Data Set Naming Conventions Many companies have decided that it is a good idea to associate all of the VSAM components with the base cluster by some recognition pattern. Some of the reasons behind this have to do with billing, and al[...]

within the data set name so that ACS Routines can easily ascertain one piece of data from another. The only alternative to this is to place a very restrictive convention on the qualifiers that can be specified. For example, you could break down the table space name by having positional characters represent different levels of qualification for the [...]
