It runs under OS/360 MVT that supports multiple application program interaction with operators of CRT (cathode ray tube) display stations and of .a teletype. Key. design features discussed include:1) an interface. allowing application programs to be coded in either PL/I or assembler language; 2) use of the teletype for:subsystem control and diagnostic purposes; and 3)a novel interregional conduit allowing an application program running under the Chapel Hill Alphanumeric Terminal (CHAT)_: monitor to interact--like a terminal operator--with a conversational language processor in another region of the OS/360 installation.

  • Paper SAS1715-2015 More Data, Less Chatter: Improving Performance on Z/OS Via IBM Zhpf Lewis King and Fred Forst, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC
    Paper SAS1715-2015 More Data, Less Chatter: Improving Performance on z/OS via IBM zHPF Lewis King and Fred Forst, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC ABSTRACT This paper describes how we reduced elapsed time for the third maintenance release for SAS® 9.4 by as much as 22% by using the High Performance FICON for IBM System z (zHPF) facility to perform I/O for SAS® files on IBM mainframe systems. The paper details the performance improvements, internal testing to quantify improvements, and the customer actions needed to enable zHPF on their system. The benefits of zHPF are discussed within the larger context of other techniques that a customer can use to accelerate processing of SAS files. INTRODUCTION To achieve optimum input/output (I/O) performance, the SAS product on the IBM mainframe operating system z/OS dynamically generates low-level I/O instructions (in the form of channel programs) to process SAS direct access bound libraries. For the types of I/O operations required by SAS processing, the channel programs generated by SAS provide a higher rate of throughput (amount of data per unit of elapsed time) than what is possible with standard IBM DFSMS access methods. In October 2008, IBM introduced High Performance FICON for System z (zHPF), which is a set of I/O architecture improvements that enable higher rates of I/O throughput (IBM 2015a). Over the next several years, zHPF capabilities were extended (IBM 2015a), and in October 2012, IBM announced functionality that enables programs like SAS to execute channel programs that take advantage of the zHPF feature (IBM 2015b).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Retrospective Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Iowa State University Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Introduction Control Blocks Are Used in Z/OS to Manage the Work and Resources of the System. They Are Represented Internally As
    #31 zNibbler (z/OS Control Blocks) zTidBits Series ______________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Control blocks are used in z/OS to manage the work and resources of the system. They are represented internally as real, virtual and hard storage areas containing specific information pertaining to events, activity and status occurring within the infrastructure’s operation. Control blocks in most situations are usually chain to one another and can span many areas of an operating system’s internal structure. Knowledge of control blocks are useful in finding out vital information about the system and its status when a failing component occurs. What are control blocks Control blocks are mostly segments of storage designated for a particular operating system component providing specific data about an artifact within the z/OS infrastructure. Each control block contains fields and offsets (displacements) that use used by the operating system during its processing. Control blocks are referenced like DSECTs (dummy sections) or copybook members containing multiple pieces of data relevant to the operational characteristics of a particular function. They may appear similar to a record layout although normally contain pointers to other control blocks that are related. Control Blocks are usually abbreviated by the nouns in their name. As an example, a Unit Control Block is used to define an I/O device to the z/OS System and is abbreviated as a UCB which contains almost all of the information necessary for the device to be used to perform I/O requests as well as providing status of the I/O. UCBs are used by tapes and disk devices.

In addition, some data set information may be specified on the DD statement. OPEN processing merges information from various sources to build a complete data set description. After OPEN processing the program is logically associated with the data set and the program can access the data records. The GET/PUT or READ/WRITE macro instructions are used to request the movement of data between the device and main storage. CLOSE processing breaks the logical connection between the data set and the program. CLOSE processing also does clean-up such as writing end-of-file marks.
