Change utilities as follows:
1) Move all utilities including
REPRO, SUPERZAP, and UNREF to linklib directory which is now on the default 390 execution path
for EZ390 command.
The util directory is being removed.
2) Change SUPERZAP to test if SYSIN command file defined and if not
default to PARM(CON) for console input.
3) Add the following new utility commands in z390 directory:
a) REPRO.BAT - INFILE=%1, OUTFILE=%2
b) SUPERZAP.BAT - SYSIN=%1.ZAP, SYSPRINT=%1.RPT
b) UNREF - PRNFILE=%1.PRN, URFFILE=%1.URF |

Add initial KSDS support.
1) See vsam\demo\KSF1RPO1.BAT which uses REPRO to load KSF1NAME
cluster and primary index from text file KSF1NAME.TF1 containing 6
records with name, address, etc. Then it uses REPRO to unload fKSDS
file to ascii text file KSF1NAME.TF2 and compares it to the original
input file.
2) See vsam\demo\KSF1DEMO.BAT which reads 6 records in KSF1NAME KSDS
file in reverse order via primary key access.
Run RTVSAM.BAT to run all VSAM regression tests and demos.
3) See vsam\demo\KSF1SKP1.MLC which does POINT for key MQ with RPL
option KGE and then reads and lists records sequentially to end of
file. |

Misc. VSAM corrections:
1) Correct POINT to set FDBK and return code correctly.
Note all VSAM files are limited to MAXSIZE(mb) option setting which
defaults to 50 MB. VSAM files using RBA vs XRBA are limited to 2 GB
(31 bits) regardless of MAXSIZE setting.
2) Store RBA or XRBA in RPLARG on sequential GET or PUT for ESDS and
check limit.
3) Check file size limit on all VES reads and writes.
4) Check RBA/XRBA for fixed ESDS for multiple of record length.
There are no other consistency checks of positive RBA/XRBA for
variable length ESDS or KSDS files currently. |

Change ESDS and RRDS support as follows:
1) Require use of POINT to set ESDS current RBA/XRBA position prior to
GET for SEQ FWD or BWD RPL's. Allow use of RBA/XRBA of high
values for POINT to indicate end of file. See updated
ESF1SKP1 and ESV1SKP1 regression test changes.
2) Require use of POINT to set current position prior to GET
for SEQ FWD or BWD. Support with LRD or high value record number
or RBA/XRBA to position to end of file. See new ESF1SKP1,
ESV1SKP1, RRF1SKP1 and RRV1SKP1
regression tests.
3) Change ACB and RPL option DIR to KEY for random access to RRDS and
VRDDS by record #. See all demo and test RRDS/VRRDS programs.
4) Change TRACE format for both VSAM and TCPIO svc's to show the name
of the specific operation being requested based on opcode in R0.
For example you can now search for "VSAM POINT" in trace.
5) Change positioning support to always store current VES or VX0
XRBA address in RPLCXRBA field. Store last record XRBA in
RPLLXRBA else store -1. Reset RPLLXRBA to -1 and RPLCXRBA to 0
when new or reopened ACB is detected for RPL.
6) For ESDS sequential access, return current RBA/XRBA for each record
in RPLARG. See updated ESF1SKP1 and ESV1SKP1 regression tests.
8) For RRDS and VRRDS sequential access skip null records created by
system and return relative record # in RPLARG. See updated
RRF1SKP1 and RRV1SKP1 regression tests. |

caused error MNOTE trying to change MACRF or OPTCD fields.
2) Correct REPRO to verify successfully loaded catalog file is a
VCDT catalog before assuming DDNAME is a VSAM catalog reference.
3) Add support for MODCB default option parms for RPL OPTCD -
FWD to turn bit off in RPL with BWD set. Note all the required OPTCD
option bits in ACB MACRF or RPL OPTCD must be specified since MODCB
replaces the entire field with new options specified. Add
support for RPL= and ACB= which means that the RPL fieldfor ACB
address is being updated. |

Correct QSAM\VSAM related I/O support as
follows:
1) Correct DCB variable GET and PUT to allow 5 byte variable length
records with 1 byte of data. Previously errors 28 and 35 were
issued for 1 byte variable length records in error.
2) Change REPRO to accept override of QSAM RECFM for fixed or variable
length from default of F or V to FT, FB, VT, or VB by specifying the
RECFM required in brackets after file name. For example:
SET INFILE=TESTVT.TF1[RECFM=VT]. See vsam\test\ESF4REPO.BAT and
ESV5REPO.BAT regression tests.
3) Correct feedback for ESDS invalid RBA to use reason code
x'32' versus x'c4' which is for RRDS only
4) Correct RPL processing init to always refresh ACB and VCLR fields.
Correct ACB. Correct ACB processing init to always refresh VCLR
fields as well.
4) If ESDS RPL has ADR and SKP, then set current position on
each RBA/XRBA get for possible following SEQ GET. For BWD be
sure both ADR and SEQ RPL's also have BWD set. See updated vsam\test\ESF1SKP1.MLC
and ESV1SKP1.MLC regression tests.
5) Add option TRACEQ to trace all QSAM GET/PUT file I/O similar to
TRACEV for VSAM file I/O.
6) Correct QSAM VT input support to handle ascii line with no
characters other than cr,lf and create 5 variable length input record
with single space since 5 is the minimum QSAM record length. See
regression test vsam\test\ESV5REPO.BAT.
7) Set R15=0 return code for SHOWCB, TESTCB, MODCB. |

Correct and enhance VSAM ESDS and RRDS
support as follows:
1) Correct ESDS and fixed length RRDS to read and write directly
to VES data file with no VX0 index required. RBA and XRBA
now point directly to VES records.
2) Add ESDS update
option UPD. Updates must be for same length record in place via PUT
after successful GET. See new regression tests vsam\test\ESF2TEST
and ESV3TEST tests.
3) Add ESDS option BWD for fixed and variable length sequential
read backwards. For variable length ESDS, this requires adding
redundant record length following each record in order to sequentially
traverse file backwards with no VX0 index. See regression tests
vsam\test\ESF3TEST and ESV4TEST.
4) RRDS variable length files (also known as VRRDS) will continue to use VX0 to map relative
record # into XRBA for VES data file access. Rewriting VRRDS
record with different length causes record to be written at
end of VES leaving prior record area as dead space until next
unload/reload. See regression test vsam\test\ESV3TEST.
5) Correct to always use RPL flags vs ACB flags to
determine which type of access to use. Correct RPL macro to
issue error for undefined options. Verify RPL vs ACB for
MOD,TEST,SHOW. |

Add new option ERRSUM to
list critical error summary on PRN, ERR and console. Missing
macros and copy files are listed if any. If none, then any
remaining undefined symbols are listed. This option highlights missing macros and copybooks
as first priority to correct. Once all macros and copybooks are
found option ERRSUM will list any remaining undefine symbols which
usually indicate a missing macro or copybook such as a DSECT. This option is automatically turned on by the macro
assembler when missing macros or copy files are detected.
To override this option, specify ERR(0) to force assembly regardless
of critical errors. This option
may need to be used several times to find and fix nested missing
macros and copybooks. Any remaining undefined symbols in an
assembly now appear in the symbol table with TYPE=UND. For an
example try assembling the REPRO VSAM utility with the command ASM
linklib\REPRO SYSMAC() SYSCPY() which suppresses the default libraries
and causes ERRSUM option to be turned on to show 2 missing copy files
and 24 missing macros causing 25 undefined symbols. |

Redefine VCDT from VSAM Cluster
Definition Table for single VSAM file to VSAM Catalog Definition Table (VCDT) which is
created using multiple DEFINE macros to define a catalog with multiple
base clusters, alternate indexes, and paths.
The DDNAME on ACB points to the VCDT catalog loadable file with
optional dot suffix defining name of entry to open.
Alternatively the ACB name field is used to find base cluster or path
entry in the catalog. This was
requested by Melvyn and provides more flexibility and compatibility
with existing VSAM application code. The new catalog supports UPGRADE
option on each alternate index and supports using PATH pointing
to base cluster with no updating of alternate indexes if desired.
See updates to VCDTD, ACBD, and RPLD for new entries (application
programs should use SHOWCB, TESTCB, and MODCB rather than these
internal control blocks). All bit flags in these DSECTS have
been changed to single byte values. See updates in vsam\demo
and vsam\test to use new DEMCAT catalog for all the demos and TESTCAT
for all the regression tests. Also see updates to vsam\test\ESV1TEST.MLC
to verify RBA and XRBA read records randomly. |

CLOSE, DEFINE, ERASE, GENCB, GET, MODCB, OPEN, POINT, PUT, RPL, RPLD,
SHOWCB, TESTCB, and VCDTD.
The DEFINE macro supports creation
of loadable VSAM Cluster Definition Table (VCDT) which serves as
equivalent of VSAM cluster catalog definition. The new ACBD, RPLD,
and VCDTD macros provide DSECT layout of ACB, RPL, and VCDT control blocks,
but for mainframe compatiblity only SHOWCB, MODCB, and TESTCB should
be used to access ACB and RPL fields.
A new utility linklib\REPRO supports loading or unloading VSAM file
from/to QSAM files or anther VSAM file. See the
z390 VSAM Support

Work-around for Windows Vista to allow running z390 using
default install directory in "C:\Program Files\....\z390" - Turn
off Vista UAC option via the Control Panel, User Accounts dialog.
This will allow spawned command line tasks to automatically obtain
administrator permission required to access the "C:\Program Files"
directory as of Vista updates applied between 07/08/07 and 07/15/07.
For more information about Vista
UAC visit the following web sites:
Microsoft Vista User Account Control Option
Turning Vista UAC option off is hopefully a temporary solution to
allow users to install z390 in the default directory on both XP and
Vista and be able to achieve compatible results. The only other
current work-around is to install z390 into a directory such as C:\z390 which is not protected like
"C:\Program Files\..." on Vista.
Although turning off Vista UAC may appear to be increasing
security risk, as long as security software such as Windows or
Symantec fire wall is active, the risk should not be any higher that
it was with Windows XP. |
