Anyone know what I am doing incorrect? Everything works fine, if I perform the commands manually on USS and it works fine off z/OS. It doesn’t appear to be a security issue. It appears when the git clone command runs, it is not in the correct directory for the .git repo.

Hello, I am trying to install the 5.24 version for our developers and since this is a first for me, as Perl was always apart on IBM Ported tools… I have followed the doc and added PATH, LIBPATH and PERL5LIB. But everytime they goto execute PERL. As soon as they hit the first perl statement, they get an error like strict for example. for example: make>perl ./makeall.pl -Nut Tue Aug 14 08:40:45 2018 Building makefiles… use: /public/dev/b24/users/jkxxxx/acwa/jk21/make/bldmakefile.pl 107: FSUM7351 n ot found use: /public/dev/b24/users/jkxxxx/acwa/jk21/make/bldmakefile.pl 109: FSUM7351 n ot found use: /public/dev/b24/users/jkxxxx/acwa/jk21/make/bldmakefile.pl 111: FSUM7351 n ot found /public/dev/b24/users/jkxxxx/acwa/jk21/make/bldmakefile.pl 112: FSUM7332 syntax error: got (, expecting Newline makeall.pl: Error building makefiles I can only assume I did something wrong along the way?

Hi, I am using CURL on z/OS including in my CPI the Userid and PSW. I want to use digital certificates, How can I do it? I am using CURL to access to z/OSMF as my REST Server. Thanks,

Hello I am a new user of R and I am stuck. I want to execute a Rscript that will allow me to compute some indices for many stations once. Here is what the manual says to do: "5.2 Calculating the indices on multiple station files The script that provides this functionality is climpact2.batch.stations.r. This script requires command line arguments to be passed to it at run time. Execution of this script takes the following form, from the Linux command line: Rscript climpact2.batch.stations.r /full/path/to/station/files/ /full/path/to/metadata.txt base_period_begin base_period_end cores_to_use The 5 command line arguments above are defined in the following table. Table 2. Command line arguments to pass to climpact2.batch.stations.r /full/path/to/station/files/ Directory where individual station files are kept. An example can be found in sample_data/XXXX /full/path/to/metadata.txt Text file that contains information about ea

Just upgraded a 4 system sypslex from curl 7.16.1 to curl 7.52.1. My systems share binaries and BPXPRM members so all is the same - we have AUTOCVT=NO On 1 system in the sysplex when I either use putty or omvs the curl responses are gibberish and seem to be in ASCII. However … on the other 3 systems the response is readable and in EBCDIC. Keep in mind this problem is also seen when just doing curl --help. If I issue export _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON … then the issue is resolved and text response is readable. I know the documentation says all sessions should have the env variables set … but does anyone know why 1 of my 4 systems in the sysplex is defaulting differently? I opened an SR with IBM but they said to reach out to ROCKET.

Hello: Just downloaded cURL and when I try my first test I get a S0C1 abend. Is there a machine level dependency? We are running a Z10. Thanks

Hi, I’m trying to use “git bisect” on z/OS, but it crashes with a segmentation fault: $ git version git version 2.3.5_os390_b013 $ git bisect start HEAD 4471995 -- CEE5203S The signal SIGSEGV was received. error: git-bisect died of signal 11 Is anybody using “git bisect” successfully? Is this a known problem?

Hello! I couldn’t find any similar questions on this in the forum so I’ve posted my own. I recently installed perl 5.24 on zOS. When we use the perldoc command, for example ‘perldoc perlbot’, the command returns garbage characters along with valid text, like so: ^[1mNAME^[m perlbot - Links to information on object-oriented programming in Perl ^[1mDESCRIPTION^[m For information on OO programming with Perl, please see perlootut and perlobj. (The above documents supersede the collection of tricks that was formerly here in perlbot.) /tmp/D2m_sMWEA1 I found what I think are the source files for these pages in /share/man/cat1. They look OK there. The output looks mostly ok but not perfect if I’m in the OMVS shell (called from TSO). It looks worse in putty, which is what I was using in the example above. I’m wondering what I did wrong on the install/configuration. I do have a file not

Hello, I am hoping to find a port of Xvfb for z/OS 2.3 that I can download and install. I didn’t find it on the current Rocket OPENSOURCE downloads list. Regards Bruce Hewson

When I try to look at a manpage from openssl, e.g. man sha256 I get: FSUMF061 Cannot format /usr/local/ssl/man/man1/sha256.1 Using the file command: file /usr/local/ssl/man/man1/sha256.1 I get: /usr/local/ssl/man/man1/sha256.1: nroff, eqn, or tbl text input text When scanning the rocket ported tools for files which are nroff, eqn, or tbl text input text I see that most if not all man pages from php, openssl, libssh2 are not usable. A possible fix from my side is to dowload the man page to my laptop (using ascii conversion) and run something like: mv openssl.1 openssl.1.bad groff -mandoc -Tascii openssl.1.bad > openssl.1 and then upload to the z/OS host.

I’m installing Perl under USS on z/OS 2.2 to support Python for a RedHat Ansible PoC. Everything was going swimmingly until I tried to run ./change_pwd_perl.sh, during which I received a fail for the file …/lib/perl5/5.24.0/os390/perllocal.pod (output from the script is attached). I looked in the directory and the perllocal.pod file wasn’t there. Is this normal, or am I missing something?change_pwd_perl_sh_output.docx (12.2 KB)

IMPORTANT NOTICE for users of the Rocket port of git for z/OS The most recent versions of git (versions 2.18 and later) available from the official git repository on github and other locations contain support for the working-tree-encoding git attribute. This support is not conditionalized for the platform on which git is being run. The result is that git repository created on z/OS containing a .gitattributes file similar to this: # Default to EBCDIC unless otherwise specified * working-tree-encoding=ibm-1047 git-encoding=iso8859-1 # The git attributes and ignore files MUST be ASCII *.gitattributes working-tree-encoding=iso8859-1 git-encoding=iso8859-1 *.gitignore working-tree-encoding=iso8859-1 git-encoding=iso8859-1 will have problems when cloned to a non-z/OS platform (such as Windows or Linux), as git will attempt to con

I have written a REXX exec to inface to GIT. Specifically I use BPXWUNIX to issue my commands. The issue I have is the output from the command is always in ASCII (ISO-8859-1). Forcing me the perform a conversion before I can read the results. This doesn’t happen if I issue the command in OMVS. I’ve tried using BPXWUNIX using redirection eg x=BPXWUNIX('git status >output.txt',,,,,1) and coding the stdout in the function call eg x=BPXWUNIX('git status',,'output.',,,1) I have my profile setup with export _CEE_RUNOPTS="FILETAG(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG) POSIX(ON)" export _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON export _TAG_REDIR_ERR=TXT export _TAG_REDIR_IN=TXT export _TAG_REDIR_OUT=TXT Does anyone know how I can get the system/git to perform the conversion to EBCDIC before I get the output ? Regards, Gary

Hi, Is there any way that I can call bluezone emulator via Python. did anybody tried connecting bluzone mainframe session with python? appreciate help on this.

Hi. Running Rocket curl 7.52.1 on z/OS 2.2. Calling curl from a REXX running in TSO via the BPXWUNIX program as in the following example: /rexx/ cmd=’/rocket/bin/curl’, ‘http://www.yahoo.com -i’ stdin.0=0 stdout.0=0 stderr.0=0 env.1=’_BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON’ env.2=’_CEE_RUNOPTS=FILETAG(AUTOCVT,AUTOTAG) POSIX(ON)‘ env.3=’_TAG_REDIR_ERR=txt’ env.4=’_TAG_REDIR_IN=txt’ env.5=’_TAG_REDIR_OUT=txt’ env.0=5 call bpxwunix cmd,“stdin.”,“stdout.”,“stderr.”,"env." say "BPXWUNIX RC="result; say;say “STDOUT >”;say do i=1 to stdout.0;say stdout.i;end say;say “STDERR >”;say do i=1 to stderr.0;say stderr.i;end Depending on the URL passed to curl the output looks something like the following: BPXWUNIX RC=0 STDOUT > :::&:::::::::|.:::/::::(?>::::::::::::::::::::::::(::::::::::::(?>::::::::::::::::::: :::>:::

Hi, Can I have the link to see the steps on how to install python on ZOS, please…

Hello All, I have read the page listed below and tried a few things. Any ideas? SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with ‘\\x89’ in file test1.py on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

Are there any (not very obvious) dependencies for curl to run successfully ? I have a z/OS 2.1 system that gets curl: (35) SSL connect error and a z/OS 2.2 system that works fine. P.S. I’m not the Systems Programmer so I’m not aware of any build differences between the two OMVS systems.

Hello! Just wondering if there is a bundle that includes all the ported tools? Thanks!

I am just taking my first steps in using USS as a dev environment and am trying to set it up like the Linux systems I am used to. I am connecting to USS via Putty using telnet. I installed mc and it starts up OK but when I try to navigate around the panels the cursor and backspace keys just produce text. Function keys work OK. OTOH, I installed vim and bash and the cursor keys work normally. I have declare -x TERM=“xterm” declare -x TERMINFO="./share/mc" set as advised. What have I missed? Thanks Robin

Hi, We want to use PHP to access DB2 tables with VARCHAR columns longer than 255 characters. When a SELECT query is executed, the value of a VARCHAR column of more than 255 characters is not returned … By enabling a trace in the DSNAOINI configuration (APPLTRACE = 1 and APPLTRACEFILENAME = path), we find that the SQLGetData statement returns an SQL_ERROR when accessing this column. Is this a limitation of the ODBC driver? Of PDO? Is there a way to circumvent this limitation? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, Denis

You ever bang you head against several issues that a simple solution seems too fuzzy to figure out? Well, that’s where I think I am. I’m dealing with a couple of issues like php mail, sendmail, and the sendmail to cssmtp bridge. Thought I take baby steps to figure out what I may be doing wrong. I’m running zos2.2 and just trying to use sendmail for now. This is the first time I’ve ever played with php. I’ve gotten a helloworld.php program to work. So I grabbed a simple php to mail comments to myself. (of course there is more to it than this line). mail( $webmaster_email,“Feedback Form Results”,$msg ) but I get this error. NOQUEUE: SYSERR(userid): EZZ9892I unable to setreuid from 1 to 0: EDC5121I Invalid argument This is where the fuzzy comes in. I’ve tried so many things to fix the first part, I’m not sure what might work. I believe it’s my configuration but not sure where. The second part I’m not sure about. Any help would be much appreciated.
