    SPF / ISPF / PDF / SPF365 / etc. ALL about editing on mainframe and PC with mainframe look-alike

    Hi everybody, If you are familiar with ISPF mainframe editing, I like to give anyone my ISPF mainframe quick-ref for ISPF editing. The line commands are similar on the PC. One of the advantages of the PC mainframe-look-alike version - for example - is that the command-line is much longer and...

    Can anybody chis correct google search with its nonsense like below? In 1981 I started with Realia COBOL 2.0 and it was already able to do dynamic memory allocation. It had a machine level interface so one was for example able to read the status of the keyboard. I had a program that opened a...

    Hi, nowadays people can use a Texas Instruments calculator working with Python when they do a mathematics exam. So now I am wondering. Is buying such a calculator and working through the manual a good way to become very familiar with Python? 😊

    COBFD was a very usefull program. Perhaps we can create one ourself in GNU COBOL? 😁

    Hi Team, I am missing the good old COBFD program that worked fine, calculating offsets of record definitions in the past and is still working using DOS BOX. But it would be nice if we would have a program of our own, working in GNU COBOL. Just wondering if we have to start from scratch or that...

    report writer in MicroFocus

    Hi, I am not experienced in using the report writer of COBOL. I worked most of the time in an IBM environment which does not work with that. I maintain some programs. After a change with all kinds of direct PCL5 commands for HP Laserjet, suddenly the system creates a new-page character on a...

    Hi, I am not a great PaintShopPro u

    Hi, I am not a great PaintShopPro user, just a bit. When I started using Windows 10, I wanted to install my good-old-PhotoX2 but that did not work. Later on, I started to install again, using compatibility-options on the install program. That worked. I was able to re-install the program on the...

    how to configure CON (display) with windows 10 because it is suddenly extremely slow.....

    Hi, If you are using DISPLAY with windows 10, 64 bits, the old COBOL running in a DOS/CMD box, is suddenly extremely slow without reason except that it seems to be sabotaged by Microsoft because when I redirect the output to a file, suddenly it is as fast as before.... So perhaps anyone knows...

    https://www.zmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=74 Dear everybody, I just found out that Gilbert Saint-Flour is not alive anymore. He was a great COBOL programmer with very interesting solutions. On the mainframe, he was able to read in COBOL the MVS data of a job. So you are able to read the...

    performance tuning on the PC || better throughput using threads on multi processor systems ??

    Hi, I was asked by a tester if it was possible to get a higher throughput on a multi-processor system. In a single thread on his system, the cpu% was never higher than 30%. He says multi thread programs are able to get near 100%. What can I do to create multi-threading programs? Also if I can...

    is onshore outsourcing always legal? What are the rules?

    Hi, I think in the Netherlands it started perhaps even more than 15 years ago that people in India took over lots of our work. Nowadays they even come here while better collegues are without work at home. I don't understand that. See also...

    IBM's enterprise cobol v5.1 is available: it adresses 2Gb

    Hi, I had some troubles moving a BLOB of 1Gb to a CICS container because my compiler on the mainframe was limited to 128Mb. Now I know there is a new compiler that can handle 2Gb. I like that very much. Regards, Crox
