Is there a Windows function that gives similar information to the "ps" command in Unix, specifically: Processes, Process Id's and, most importantly, full command lines? I believe there are utilities such as CmdLine from DiamondCS (not tried it yet). Is there a Windows (undocumented?) feature to...

Firstly, many thanks for the responses. Just to clarify - I am looking for a dynamic mapping of ports and services. In response to "why am I closing a service" - IBM Websphere's HTTP server uses port 80 therefore when installing this on Windows Server 2000, the World Wide Web Publishing Service...

I am completely new to this so apologies in advance if it's a dumb question. I am writing an installation guide (for an IBM product on Windows) - part of which has the following - Check that the following ports are free: a) 80 (HTTP) b) 383 and 636 (LDAP) c) 9080 (Websphere) If I run...

Sounds right. I used to use this via a panel and did not get the *** prompt.

The Rexx at the end of this message asks the user to enter a number. If a particular dataset containing this number exists the dataset is displayed. The question is - When the code runs and the dataset does exist, instead of displaying it immediately, the *** prompt appears (I am not at the...

Can anyone point me to some useful sites for an absolute beginner in MVS Assembler. I found the books in Bookman too difficult. I'd like to learn to write Assembler routines which would be called from my Rexx code. Many thanks

Many thanks for your replies - much appreciated

1. How to count the number of records in a file ? a) EXECIO * DISKR etc falls over at about 250,000 whether it's put on the stack or in a stem. b) If it's a PDS (or I copy it to a PDS) the stats only show a maximum of 65536 even if there's more than that in the file. 2. How to wait a few seconds...

Thanks - I tried this but run into more problems. Does anyone know of any decent online documentation for this - outside of the official IBM stuff? The problems I encounter are 1) The panel ensures that only Y is a valid selection choice. If I try to select with, e.g. X, then, after the error...

I thought of that just after I posted this. So I did delete that line, and now all the selections have a Y in them instead of only those I actually selected.

Sample scrolling panel problem: Sel Dataset name _ level1.level2.a Y level1.level2.b Y level1.level2.c _ level1.level2.d I select .b and .c for some action. Situation 1 If there's no problem (i.e. no error message generated) then I should see: Sel Dataset name _...

Thanks for the replies - much appreciated.They guided me to an easy solution. Panel_a sets AFLAG to Y and VPUTs AFLAG Panel_b VGETs AFLAG. If it = Y, set it to N, VPUT it and clear out the field. So the field is only ever cleared if I come at it from Panel_a. Thanks again

I agree - this is what I would have done ordinarily except the selection panel is called from an earlier panel rather than a Rexx. If I code in )INIT - pref = ' ', it's always cleared out when I come back to the panel from the Rexx even if I try and put a condition in )REINIT e.g. to check for...

Apologies for the long winded question re ISPF panels - THE BACKGROUND TO THE PROBLEM: Part of a basic selection panel: )BODY + - - - - Handover Log - - - - } Option ===>_ZCMD +...

Spot on! Many thanks!
