CBT Software for MVS 3.8There is some really useful software contained on the CBT tape, but sometimes it requires a bit of manipulation to get it in a form that is usable on MVS 3.8 as most of the mainframe computing world is currently using some flavor of OS/390 while we are back in the past about thirty years on an operating system most people would refer to as obsolete. Some of the software that I get working and find that I use frequently I am going to include here on this page. On the page for the each module listed below I will include:
ALIST - TSO command - lists information about all allocated datasets CATLG - TSO commands - adds three IEHPROGM functions CONSAMS - execute IDCAMS commands from system console DD - TSO command - displays the attributes of datasets DDN - TSO command - shorthand version of ALLOC DISKMAP - Prints report of dataset allocation on selected DASD volumes DUDASD - TSO command - displays DASD unit information on TSO User's screen DUTAPES - TSO command - display TAPE unit information on TSO User's screen (also STC) DYNALLOC - subroutine allows COBOL main program to dynamically allocate datasets FILEATTR - subroutine allows COBOL main program to retrieve dataset attributes FIND - TSO command - searchs members of PDS for string (similar to 'check' function of PDSUPDTE) FINDFILE - TSO command - displays the catalog and DASD location of a specified dataset FREEALL - TSO command - frees all allocated datasets GDGCOPY - copies Generation Data Groups in correct order IEHMAP - analyze DASD, print listing of contents, recover bad VTOC entries INSTREAM - TSO command to copy statements embedded in CLIST to a dataset LISTPDS - list and/or punch source libraries or datasets LISTSPC - TSO command - displays dataset allocation and freespace information LISTVOL - TSO command - displays volume(s) on which dataset is allocated LM - TSO command - displays directory for Partitioned Datasets MEMBER - TSO command to display information about a member of PDS. MNEMAC - Extended mnemonic macros for IFOX assembler OFFLOAD - unload Partitioned Dataset contents to sequential dataset (see PDSLOAD) PDSBLKS - TSO command to display directory blocks allocated/used for a Partitioned Dataset PDSGEN - generate card images from one or more PDS libraries PDSLOAD - reload Partitioned Dataset contents from sequential dataset (see OFFLOAD) PDSPRINT - print/punch members of partitioned datasets PDSPROGM - provides the functions of IEHPROGM with simpler control statements PDSUPDTE - allows global modifications of contents of libraries PRINTOFF - TSO command - prints PDS or sequential dataset to SYSOUT PTFSEL - lists and optionally copies PTFs from an input PTF file REVIEW - TSO command - full screen viewer for sequential and PDS datasets RLSE - TSO command - releases unused space allocated to DASD resident datasets SETPFKEY - allows console Program Function Keys to be set at IPL time SHOWASM - TSO command - display aux storage, page/swap dataset information SHOWSMF - display information about SMF datasets (TSO command or STC) SLACLE - SLAC Modifications to the OS/VS Linkage Editor STACK - TSO command - capture output from PUTGET I/O of next TSO command SUPERGEN - like IEBGENER, but with many more options SYSREPRO - another IEBGENER clone, but with some useful features SYSTEM - TSO command - displays IPL information about MVS 3.8j TAPEMAP - analyze tapes and report on contents of datasets TAPESCAN - report (and copy) contents of datasets on tapes VOLS - TSO command to display online DASD volumes + available space VSAMLIST - VSAM Catalog List Utility VTOC - TSO command to display DASD VTOC information VTOCLIST - user-friendly formatted VTOC ZAPDSCB - batch program to change DSCB attributes of any DASD dataset ZDUMPTP - generalized dump of tape datasets in hex format ZZRELINK - builds JCL to re-link
