I have just installed your Python 2.7.6 under Z/os 2.1. So far so good. Do you have a couple of sample programs which show how to use the open() to read the three types of files available: 1) Z/os datasets, 2) USS files, 3) DDNAMEs? I am guessing that 3) can’t be done, but certainly 1) and 2) would be great! Thanks

We are installing PHP v.7.0.5 on zOS. The product files were received to USS and installation steps were performed. The bin PATH was setup pointing to 7.0.5 version, The problem is - when I tried to issue a command to check the version, it shows junk value. Any suggestions? $ export PATH=PATH:/usr/lpp/PHP/v7.0.5/bin export CGI_HEADER_ENCODING=EBCDIC export CGI_BODY_ENCODING=NONE php -v &ç&--------Ä%Ñ—ÂÍÑ%È–¢Í>---------------------+èë—ä?øÊÑÅÇÈ--Ä------------èÇ Á-&ç&-åÊ?Íø-!Á>À-á>ÅÑ>Á-Î-------ä?øÊÑÅÇÈ–Ä------------!Á>À-èÁÄÇ>?%?ÅÑÁË-$ Fyi… Same process was followed for v5.4 and it worked fine

Status: DeliveredDeliveredAs I wrote in the case this is not good enough.You can disable the build when save a component, but this will not make the build panel appear when the editor close.We need an option for "Launch Build after closing editor" so the Ctrl+S (Save) does not show the build panel.Users very often press Ctrl+S to save without wanting to build - it is just to be sure their work is saved. The "Launch Build after save" is OK to have too. With these two check- marks developers can make it work as they wish.In general my experience is that developers work differently and also depending of the project.This makes it essential that you do not decide how things should be done but make options in the product.

Has anyone had this issue where git diff does not show colors correctly? Clearly it’s trying to display the escape sequences but they aren’t coming out right. It works fine for git branch -v so just wondering if there is something I’m doing wrong.

Hi, How can I extract TextMark value using u2py? I got the values of a SVM with this sentence: total = s.args[0].extract(6,1,7).dcount(u2py.TM) But when I try to extract the info I got an error because the function only take 3 arguments: for x in range(1,total): print (s.args[0].extract(6,1,7,x)) ‘’’ Traceback (most recent call last): File “test.py”, line 46, in print (s.args[0].extract(6,1,7,1)) File “/dasm/bin/u2py.py”, line 163, in extract return DynArray(super().extract(*args, **kwargs)) TypeError: function takes at most 3 arguments (4 given) ‘’’ Does anyone knows how can I get the TM value in my for loop? I apreciate your comments. Regards, DASM

I am familiarizing myself with Rocket’s git port on z/OS and have a question relating to editing files that I have cloned. I am going to edit my cloned repo using ISPF option 3.17. However, every line in each of my files has a x’0D’ at the end of the line. This is a Line Feed character. The ISPF editor doesn’t really like embedded hex characters in source. You can’t insert code. When overtyping the cursor jumps over the hex character. There will be a number of other issues editing files using the ISPF editor that have embedded hex chars. Generally in ISPF Edit in 3.17 the editor treats files in a similar way to record based members in say 3.4. There are no x’0D’ appended. This may have an issue if the USS files are transferred somewhere else for processing but that is a different topic The only options I can see with my .gitattributes that relate to this area is to use *** text=auto eol=lf** to try and control the use of crlf. Now whilst I am also having problems with this not working

Hi, We would like to use a couple of tools (or are already using them). At the moment we’re discussing how and where to install the different tools. In the README.ZOS files I found the paths /rsusr/rocket and /rsusr/ported to be the main paths. We want to avoid to break dependencies between the various products. Is it important to have rocket and ported separated or is one of them some kind of legacy? Is there some way to remove a specific version/product from all the subfolders in the ported or rocket folder? Are there plans to provide other/additional ways for installation and maintenance (for example z/OSMF Workflows)? Thanks, Stephan

I was wondering if anyone had an example using Bzip2 in batch on Z, to compress an MVS data set(PS, VB)

Hi. Maybe a codepage issue but I suspect a tagging issue. VIM fires up fine and text is readable; autoconvert is on. However, I get hex interpreted data in the midst of it. Control codes like colon work. ~m50;83H0,0-19CAll20;42HVIM - Vi IMproved22;44Hversion 8.0.2223;39Hby Bram Moolenaar et al.24;29HVim is open source and freely distributable26;36HHelp poor children in Uganda!27; . . . I assume I buffaloed something along the way. Is it likely a mis-tagged file? Our system is running IBM-037; there’s some code in /etc/profile to set that up. Thanks.

Hey all - I’m wondering if I need to do some tweaking on this diffutils_checking.sh. I have installed my diffutils code under /u/ROCKET/diffutils and the checking.sh is under /u/ROCKET/diffutils/bin . I do a cd to that dir and try to execute ./diffutils_checking.sh but I get FSUM5371 not found. I go in and edit the shell, changing the TOTAL_PATH from /rsusr/rocket to /u/ROCKET/diffutils and still have the error. Be gentle…I’m still very new to this stuff! How do I get this working? Thanks! Deb

I’m trying to install bison on my z/os system. I only see one file bison-2.3_b0009.160825.tar.gz and no readme for z/os. What are the correct commands for installing bison? Thanks, Deb Cosentino

The README.ZOS has the comment Extra space savings arise if you download the combined release from the I would expect 3 downloads for python 2.7 & 3.6 & both I do not see a combined release

Regarding Universe for both Linux and Windows, what are the timelines for Python 3.7 and later? The current Personal Edition of Universe for Windows is using Python 3.4.1 which is rather long in the tooth.

I am having a hard time finding, uploading python to my z/OS. As a matter of fact, I need both python and nodejs for z/OS. Can someone please educate me how to get my problem resolved? I have spent a few days thrashing on this problem, so any assistance will be highly appreciated. Best regards

Hi there! Any way we could get the source for sudo? The default user is currently set as “ROOT”, which is not the name of our “UID 0” ID in RACF. It’s our understanding that a recompile with a specific compile option could fix this for us. Adding an id named “ROOT” into RACF is not going to be an option. Thanks!

Hi, I tried to install sudo (sudo-1.8.6p3_b009.170419) on z/OS 2.3. README.ZOS tells a alot about the installation process. But nothing about the customization of /ect/sudo.conf. When I run sudo with sample.conf delivered as sample an error occured that no sudoers.so was found. If I delete or comment the both lines in sudo.conf: Plugin sudoers_policy sudoers.so Plugin sudoers_io sudoers.so the execution of sudo fails with a message: unable to initialize policy plugin. How should sudo works with only the deliverd files in package sudo-1.8.6p3_b009.170419? Thanks for your help. Kind regards, Björn

I need to automatically connect to the Rocket z/OS session which is accessible through the customized website.How to do this in C# application? C# application (Web api) need to open the Bluezone session automatically from background.

Hello. After download the file “curl-7.52.1_b006.170926.tar.gz” on Windows I extracted it using Winrar. Then the extracted folder was copied to zOS Unix using IDz. I have exported the environment variables on zOS Unix console (PATH, LIBPATH, etc) When I run the command “curl” on console, this message is returned: curl: FSUM9209 cannot execute: reason code = 053b006c: EDC5129I No such file or directory. My zOS Unix version is 02.02.00 How to fix it? There are more configs to do? Thx

Hi, currently Python 3.6.1 comes with the package scikit-learn release 0.18.2. Unfortunately it does not support everything we need. At this point I am wondering if there are any plans to port newer release of scikit-learn - 0.19.2. Thank you, Jacob

Status: DeclinedThanks for the IDEA Johan. Unfortunately after doing more research, this will cause major rewrite and could introduce risk. Based on that, we'll have to decline this request.As compilers (COBOL and PL1) are now using integrated pre-compilers one can end up from 1 source with multiple DBRMs that will need to be bound in the same  physical DB2      We are migrating to COBOL 6.2 and Enterprise PL1 5.2 and our going to be using the integrated CICS and DB2 pre-compiler As in certain cases sources are compiled multiple times depending the addressing mode or type of execution environment one might end up with possible three different DBRMs origintaing from the same source. From and administrative level in Changeman one could create a logical environment in the physical DB2 (one for each type of DBRM) Unfortuantely ZMF doesn't support this. Right now this has been cicumvented through skeleton customisation, but this should be out of the box. Are there any othe customers

Rather than downloading the various z/OS Open Source Tools by manually clicking on the web site, is it possible or has anyone used a scripted routine to perform the downloads?

Hello, based on the routines for other Open Source z/OS software (see SMP/E installation for Open Source z/OS software ) we created procedures to make it possible to install ZOWE with SMP/E. Everyone who is interested in further details, please respond here. Kind regards Juergen Kehr
