1.1 Who Should Use It

This guide is intended for users who do research or development on COBOL applications

that are developed using TSO. It is even more beneficial if using CICS or DB2.

It is excellent for contractors to take from site to site to allow easy navigation though an

unknown system and to access that system readily. RRT will remember JCL, PROCS,

programs, members, DB2 tables and migration paths. RRT will do immediate searches,

compares, mapping, assemblies, DB2 accesses and compiles to allow for a complete and

rapid perusal.

For those whose desire rapid access to programs, copybooks, JCL, PROCS, data sets, DB2

tables from the command line, or to cursor select (member name, a data set with symbolic

or GDG, a DB2 table) from any program, from any screen, in any mode, and from any place

on that screen. Edit mode, browse mode, from the JES queue, from endeavor, from file aid,

from XPED, from most any screen. All the above using only a single stroke of a PF key.

The consolidation of the mainframe projects has often necessitated that one programmer

render support to several applications. For those who do support multiple applications or

who want to easily peruse another company application, RRT can be quite useful. Shift from

one product to another and from one migration path to another in seconds; gain immediate,

compare, access, search, and compile capabilities.

For those who are learning COBOL or wish to unit test and re-test a routine in seconds

without using a source manager. Gain the ability to compile, link and execute immediately.

See your results in seconds. Execute a small test program right out of the edit buffet

without submitting a job.

For those who do not wish to disclose how many compiles it took to get a clean compile. No

jobs are submitted. With RRT never move a program/copybook into a source manager until

it is free of syntax errors and has had the DB2 SQL unit tested. Do an immediate compile;

then execute the DB2 SQL directly from the program. For those who are new to the job, this

can make an impression.

RRT User Guide © Copyright Rexware Solutions 2009 Page 6

For those who do not wish to type in the same dataset names over and over and over and

over . . . now, just type in the member. Or type in a DB2 table for immediate access.

For those migrating away from COBOL to another platform, and wish to easily navigate

through legacy COBOL to assess its functionality and processes.

RRT is designed to enhance the integrity of development and research. It ensures user

settings, in an environment, to do correct compares, searches, reports and compiles.

This guide assumes that the user have some knowledge MVS data sets, TSO, JCL, JES,

PDS libraries, CICS and DB2.

2 Introduction

The rapid research tool (RRT) was developed to utilize a typical research environment. Each

environment would have compilers, pre-compilers, production libraries and maintenance libraries

or staging libraries or quality assurance libraries or emergency libraries, for various types of

testing and implementation. The environment would also have various migration paths to the

production libraries via several project paths. All this information can be stored in RRT to allow

rapid access, quick development, intelligent search and compare, and to foster research and

development synergy.

RRT was originally designed to support a single product line, but later enhanced later to allow up

to 30 major product lines. Now, RRT can store this information for an entire company. For

example: for an insurance company, it can store all the projects, versions and related migration

paths for life insurance, health insurance, auto insurance (for each state), and property and

casualty insurance. The high level feature will switch to the major product line in seconds.

Those employees who switch from major product to major product several times a day can do so

in seconds. No need to remember the data sets, projects, migration paths, etc for each product.

Let RRT remember it. Switch to the product line, then cursor select, with a PF key, a

copybook, program, DB2 data base, or data set, from wherever it appears on a screen. Or type

a component name on the command line and hit the same PF key.

RRT can be especially helpful to those who support several different versions of the same

product. Each version can be either a simple project under the same product or a higher level

product with several supporting projects. RRT remembers the configurations.

RRT never submits a job, its mappings, layouts, compiles; pre-compiles, navigation, and

reporting are done in TSO foreground.

RRT was designed, from the start, with performance, productivity and integrity in mind.

It has saved hours and hours of time.

RRT is easily configured, ported and installed at each customer site. It primary forte is a

productivity aid to be used to facilitate maintenance, debugging, development and research.

2.2 Compatibility Test

From our website, download and execute the RRT compatibility test. Use it at each new

customer site to determine which features are available to you there.

1) TEST SUPPORT ON THE CURRENT TSO VERSION

2) TEST TSO DSN ALLOCATION and DE-ALLOCATION for SYSEXEC

3) TEST REXX TO DB2 CONNECTIVITY

4) TEST FILE CREATION/READ

5) LOCATION OF COBOL COMPILER

6) LOCATION OF ASSEMBLER COMPILER

7) LOCATION OF CICS PRE-COMPILER

8) LOCATION OF DB2 PRECOPILE

9) LOCATION OF LINKAGE EDITOR OR BINDER

10) TEST PANEL ACCESS

Item 1 is required.

Item 2 is required

Item 3 is required for RRT to execute DB2 SQL.

Item 4 is needed for all features except data set, member, JCL, and PROC

navigation.

Items 5 thru 9 are aids to help the user build the configuration file.

Item 10 lists results in a panel.

If unable to locate to a COBOL compiler like IGYCRCTL, then locate the JCL that does

compiles and check the STEPLIB concatenations for member IGYCRCTL. If not able to do

that, then from TSO option =3.4 enter **.SIGYCOMP to scan all catalogs in the system

(slow). Verify that the resulting data set(s) still exists and that it contains member

IGYCRCTL. Choose the latest version.

For assembler enter **. SASMMOD1 and locate member ASMA90.

Note: Other compatible compilers, pre-compilers and assemblers may be used.

RRT does not have the ability to change access permissions to data sets, tables,

DB2, APF libraries or to anything whatsoever. So some features of RRT may be

limited by your personal access privileges at the current site. IF REXX to DB2 access

is not available then request that the DBA administrator to set it up.

4 Installation Instructions

4.1 Define RRT to TSO

Installation Steps

1. Allocate a PDS having 5 primary and 2 secondary cylinders of space and

an LREC of 80. TSO option 3.2 is able to do this. Use PDS as the data

set type. Do not use LIBRARY because significant performance

degradation can occur on some MVS systems. (See below)

2. Transfer RRT components from PC to that PDS. Use binary mode to

accomplish the transfer. ( FTP or IND$FILE-- any transfer protocol should

work fine)

3. Enter TSO "EX 'XXX.XXX.XXX($INSTALL)' EX " on the TSO command

line, but first replace XXX.XXX.XXX with the new PDS name. This will

attach the PDS to the TSO session, and create and populate a panel

library based upon the PDS name.

4. First modify the supplied member, STRRT, to contain the new PDS

name and then copy STRRT into your unshared personal CLIST. One

that is yours only and is attached during TSO logon. Afterwards execute

TSO STRRT to start RRT after each logon. (If you do not have a personal

CLIST, then find someone that can create one for you)

5. If step 4 cannot be done then, using TSO option =6, save the command

TSO "EX 'XXX.XXX.XXX($INITENV)' EX " . And execute it after each

TSO logon. (replace XXX.XXX.XXX)

6. TSO STPRRT will detach RRT. First replace PDS name, move to your

personal CLIST, and then remove it from the RRT PDS!!! To re-start

RRT again enter TSO STRRT. Note: before executing TSO STRRT close

all edit and browse sessions else it will fail.

RRT User Guide © Copyright Rexware Solutions 2009 Page 14

Using TSO option 3.2, create a PDS for RRT members

FTP or IND$FILE to move RRT components to this PDS

(. . . any transfer protocol will do fine)

Note: A few companies define the SYSEXEC DD to use variable blocked VB data

sets with an LRECL 255. Enter TSO ISRDDN, next scan for SYSEXEC. PF11 will

toggle to reveal the LRECL and RECFM. Nearly all sites are 80 and FB but a few

are 255 and VB. If that is true, then create another PDS with those attributes and

copy RRT members into that PDS for RRT usage. Delete the first PDS.

Note: Dot not FTP from the PC to a VB file!

Using TSO option 3.2, create an executable LOADLIB.

This LOADLIB is used to execute a small tester COBOL program directly from edit mode

NOTE: LIBRARY can be selected instead of PDS but it will severely degrade performance

on older systems. Do not change a PDS to LIBRARY unless using the latest version of

MVS. It will severely degrade performance.

4.2 Division Access Control

Enter: TSO QACCESS

If unable to create RRT default data sets, then enter TSO QACCESS (PARM) where PARM is

the high level nodes you are authorized to create. For example: TSO QACCESS

TSOUSER.SPF If you do need high level nodes see QACCESS PARM

First use function “C” to create a work PDS. Enter a work PDS name and a required description.

This will define the USER to RRT and populate a work PDS with two templates.

The first template is @@CONFIG. That is where all libraries, compilers, projects,

concatenations, search paths, and migration paths are defined. The second template,

@DB2TBLS, is the list of the DB2 tables that RRT will be allowed to access. Bypass this if

REXX to DB2 access is not available at the current site.

Enter a PDS name and a description

„<<‟ indicates which work PDS is in effect.

For users who switch divisions frequently, to bypass the above screen

Enter:

TSO QACCESS (row number above) (search path)

For example: TSO QACCESS 2 MT will set the MT path for the PAYROLL division

Do not alter the RRT work PDS from a PDS to a LIBRARY, unless using the latest version of MVS. Severe

performance degradation can result.

High level support may be needed to access more than one major department or handle

several product releases. With QACCESS this is accomplished by defining each major

product environment in a separate work PDS. Then use QACCESS to switch to a product.

Some users have several major products lines in a packed into single PDS (not

recommended), others have one product distributed across many PDS libraries. RRT

configuration is designed to accommodate the needs and creativity of the user. So the

configuration design(s) is left up to the user. The configurations shown in this guide are the

ones that are most commonly used.

Functions – A row must be selected with one of the following functions.

S = Select

This will assign a work PDS name. It does not verify the existence of the PDS.

D = Detach

This will detach a work PDS from RRT. It will not delete the work PDS.

C = Create

This will create and populate a work PDS.

L = List

This will list the members in the work PDS. Editing these members from QACCESS will

cause the RRT environment to be rebuilt

Z = Compress

This will compress work PDS.

Note: A work PDS can be created outside of TSO QACCESS and then tied to RRT using

TSO QACCESS at a later time. But be careful if specifying LIBRARY or PDS-E as this can

severely degrade performance on some of the older systems. RRT creates PDS for

performance reasons only.

4.3 Set up RRT navigation interface

Set up a PF key to access RRT navigation features. Edit panels use @ERW. From an edit

screen, enter KEYS on the command line. Set up a PF key, preferably PF4, to %@ERW

Do not use an alias else error trapping would be problematic.

All non-edit panels can have their own KEYLIST and each will need to be set up for RRT

access as required. If a panel does not access RRT, then type in KEYS. Set up PF key,

preferably PF4, to TSO %@RW or to your alias. Do this for every panel where RRT access

is desired.

Notes:. It is very helpful to use RRT navigation from ENDEVOR, JES, FILEAID, SDSF and

many other applications where quick access to a member is needed without navigating

away or losing data on the current panels.

@NAME - A DESCRIPTIVE NAME FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

NOTE: A directive value does not carry forward to the next environment. It must be

repeated for every RRTID that uses it.

@RRTID

This is the most important value in RRT. All other directives can be in any order, but this

one must be the first directive for each environment defined. Every RRT function is driven

by this directive. It is followed by a two byte id that will be referred to as the RRTID.

Example:

@RRTID MT

@PATH

This directive is followed by one or more two byte RRTID values. It defines the migration

path or search path. Each RRTID referenced by @PATH must also be defined as a

@RRTID for RRT to function properly. Searches and compares are done in the order that

these values are entered. At least one RRTID must be entered. Usually it is the @RRTID

value.

Example:

@PATH MT PR

(Note: This path includes both production (PR) and maintenance (MT) libraries)

RRT User Guide © Copyright Rexware Soluitions 2009 Page 21

@JCL

This directive must be on a line by itself. The JCL data sets will follow afterwards. One data

set per line until the next RRT directive is read.

Example:

@JCL

PROD.HEWN.MT.JCLLIB

PROD.HEWN.MT.JCLLIB2

@PROC

This directive must be on a line by itself. The JCL PROCLIB data sets will follow afterwards.

One data set per line until the next RRT directive is read.

Example:

@PROC

PROD.HEWN.MT.PROCLIB

@COPY

This directive is for copybooks. It must be on a line by itself. The copybook libraries will

follow afterwards. This directive must be used for COBOL copybooks libraries only!

Other directives allow some creativity but not this one. One copybook library per line

until the next RRT directive is read.

Example:

@COPY

PROD.HEWN.MT.SOURCE.COPY

@PROG

This directive is for program source. It must be on a line by itself. The source libraries follow

afterwards. One source library per line until the next RRT directive is read.

Example:

@PROG

PROD.HEWN.MT.SOURCE1

PROD.HEWN.MT.SOURCE2

@CNTL

This directive is for miscellaneous members. Sort cards, VSAM cards, IDCAMS cards, DB2

plans, and even load libraries. It must be on a line by itself. Miscellaneous libraries follow

afterwards. One library per line until the next RRT directive is read.

Example:

@PROG

PROD.HEWN.MT.CNTL

PROD.HEWN.MT.DB2.CNTL

@PANL

This directive is used to point to another library for RRT panels.

It is rarely used. The directive and the single override panel library are on the same line

Example:

@PANL PROD.TSO.ISPPLIB.RRT

@OWNR

This directive is used define the DB2 owner. It is needed for a default when the DB2 owner

is not supplied, as is the case in many COBOL programs. The directive and the DB2 owner

are on the same line.

Example:

@OWNR HPTAXPYR

@DB2O

This directive is used to specify a DB2 SDSNLOAD library. It is used to point to DB2

systems that are not in the LPA, are partially built, or to a previous version for testing. Each

RRTID can have its own designated DB2 version. The directive and the SDSNLOAD library

are on the same line. Here an older version is specified for the RRTID environment. This

directive is usually not needed.

Example:

@DB2O UTIL.DB2.V81.SDSNLOAD

@DB2P

This directive is used convey the location of the DB2 pre-compiler. The directive and the

pre-compiler library are on the same line. Note: There may be a pre-compiler location for

each LPAR.

Example:

@DB2P SYS1.DB2.SY2.SDSNLOAD(DSNHPC)

@UPDT

This directive is used to permit DB2 update functions for the RRTID. “Y” is the only value

that will activate update capabilities. “DELETE, UPDATE, INSERT, and MERGE are

supported. The directive and its value are on same the same line.

@UPDT Y

@MACL

This directive is used define the location of the Assembler MACLIB concatenations. The

directive is on a line by itself. The MACLIB concatenation follows at one library per line.

The MACLIB concatenation is not considered by RRT navigation, QCMPR, QFIND or any

other RRT interface. If search features are desired then include the MACLIB libraries in the

MISC libraries also.

Example:

@MACL

SYS1.MACLIB

Complete Definition for the “PR” production environment

Note: Maintenance libraries are not included here. But will be included when the maintenance

RRTID, “MT”, is defined. They should not be included in RRTID PR, but tied to production using

the @PATH MT PR directive as part of RRTID MT environment migration/search path. Then setting

4.5 Configuration – DB2 Tables

To add DB2 tables to be accessed by RRT enter TSO QRRT and choose “T” for “EDIT

CONFIG FILE”. .

A DB2 table entered with no owner will use the owner defined in the configuration file for the

current RRTID, if there is no synonym. Almost all table entries will be of this type.

A DB2 owner followed by the table allows access only to that „owner.table‟ combination

unless the high-level owner is in effect (owner.********). It also functions as a synonym to

supply that owner to that table when none exists. In COBOL, when the owner is omitted,

RRT checks for a synonym before using the RRTID default owner. Check

SYSIBM.SYSSYNONYMS when building this table.

The last entry, SYSIBM.********, instructs RRT to access DB2 tables with owner “SYSIBM.”

“SYSIBM.” is an owner usually used by DB2 for internal tables. Any DB2 owner can be

specified in this way to instruct RRT access at the owner level. Place these high-level

owners last in the table.

NOTE: RRT uses several methods to distinguish a request to access a DB2 table from a

request to retrieve a member or a data set. However DB2 table names of 8 bytes or less

will trigger RRT to ask the user if the access is intended for DB2. For example, AGENCY

can be both a member and, a DB2 table.

***************************************************************************************

* *

* PLACE DB2 TABLES AND/OR VIEWS HERE TO ALLOW DB2 ACCESS VIA RRT *

* IF THE DB2 OWNER IS MISSING IT WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE RRTID. *

* COMMENT LINES START WITH AN ASTERISK *

* *

***************************************************************************************

TBLEMPLOYEE OWNER WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE CURRENT RRTID

CWBR.EMPLOYEE_DATA CWBR OWNER IS PROVIDED AND IS A SYNONYM

SYSIBM.******** 8 ASTERISKS MEANS ACCESS TABLES WITH THAT OWNER

5.1 RRT Navigation Features

The seamless navigation from program, to copybook, to flat file, to JCL, to control member, to

DB2 table, without losing the current session is one of the most helpful features of RRT. Much

of the tedious ISPF navigation is replaced by the single stroke of a PF key.

Any of these components can be directly accessed, from most any screen, by entering one of

them on the command line, or by selecting one of them via a cursor, and then pressing PF4.

Cursor selection is valid from any screen where a PF key is set up to interface with RRT. That

includes ISPF or SDSF screens, menu screens, most any vendor product, like ENDEVOR,

FILEAID, SPUFI, XPEDITER and many more.

RRT navigation honors wild cards. Member names that contain an asterisk will display a

matching directory list from every library in the concatenation. Data sets that have an asterisk

will display the first 400 matches. Wild cards are not supported when using an extra parm. The

extra parm is ignored. PF4 with no parm at all will display the current RRT settings.

Access time is fast but some shortcuts are provided to be used at the user‟s discretion. Follow a

member name with a single byte library reference to restrict the search to a certain type of

library. S = source, C= Copy, J=JCL, P=PROC, N=Control/Misc. For example, on the command

line enter FLHK001 S and hit PF4. Now RRT will to search only the Source libraries to locate

member FLHK001 using the current RRTID concatenations.

For those who like shortcuts, further command line shortcuts are available to PF4:

1. A two-byte parm signals RRT to look in a different environment (or default to production

if the parm is invalid). For example: FLHK001 MT would tell RRT to look in the MT

environment for that member.

2. A three-byte parm adds the library type. For example FLHK001 MTS would tell RRT to

look only in the in the MT environment Source concatenations.

3. FLHK001 A would signal RRT to return all hits along the current RRTID migration path.

A=ALL HITS.

4. FLHK001 D would signal RRT to access the member as a DB2 table. But only if it is

defined in @DB2TBLS. This can be useful because a search item may be a DB2 table

as well as a PDS member.

5.2.3 TSO QFIND – Intelligent Search

QFIND Usage:

Enter a RRTID, Case Sensitive: Y/N

Select each library type to search with a “Y”.

Enter up to four search strings

Note: A beginning ampersand instructs QFIND to return only those lines where that

string is on the same line as the previous string.

Search complete migration paths: Concatenate all libraries in the local environment

plus all the libraries in the environments of the search path. Use with caution as

this feature may be quite slow. See the next pages for a further explanation. Note:

An RRTID that has no local libraries of its own will, by default, use a complete

migration path search. The maximum number of libraries that will be searched is set

to 20. Split into multiple jobs if over 20 are selected.

Columns: Set the beginning and ending search column separated by a colon. Or use

keywords COBOL or ASM. Default is 01:80

Preview inferred libraries: Display the libraries that will be searched according

to the library selections entered, and if a complete migration path is selected.

De-select libraries, Enter to Search, PF3 will bypass search.

Library Override: Search using a specified library. GDG supported, VSAM supported

for ISPF 4.8 or later. A „/‟ in the first position will bypass the library over-

ride.

Bypass panel interface:

FORMAT2:>>-TSO QFIND -+- RRPJSCN S1 S2 S3 S4 (no panel will display)

RRPJSCN is a compressed first parameter that is needed to conserve space on

the command line. The first two bytes is the RRTID. Each next byte is a single

character library concatenation reference. S1 thru S4 represent four search

strings.

RR = RRTID

P = PROC Libs

J = JCL Libs

S = Source/Program Libs

C = Copy Libs

N = Control/Misc Libs

The single character library references can be specified in any order. Any of

them can be omitted.

To search RRTID “PR” Source & Copy for strings „SB501‟ and “SB502”, enter the

following on the command line: TSO QFIND PRSC SB501 SB502 This will call SUPERC

to search for these strings and return a full report to the TSO session.

When the SUPERC report pops up, all RRT searches are restricted to that report!

PF4 can be used only to cursor select the members in that report.

RRT will use only the concatenations searched by SUPERC to return the member.

Note: If a search string is not entered then QFIND will use the word value

at the cursor position

TSO QFIND PRS DFHCOMMAREA &MOVE &INTERRUPT

The above command will search the production source libraries looking for

DFHCOMMAREA, MOVE, and INTERRUPT on the same line. The beginning ampersand

instructs QFIND to return only those lines where that string is on the same line

as the previous string.

Interaction with TSO QRRT

In the @@CONFIG file there are two directives that start each environment.

@RRTID and @PATH. For this example, let‟s set @RRTID to BT and the

@PATH to BT Q3 Q2 Q1 PR

The “SEARCH ALL” feature of TSO QRRT will effect what libraries TSO QFIND will

search. If it is set to “N” only the libraries of “BT” will be considered, if it

is set to “Y”, then all the libraries defined by BT, Q3, Q2, Q1, PR will be

considered. This can be VERY costly but is useful at times. So keep that use

to a minimum. Note: Twenty-four libraries is the maximum number that SUPERC can

handle, so RRT will select no more than that.

Note: If an RRTID has no libraries defined. Then QFIND will use all the

libraries inferred by the @PATH directive of that RRTID.

QFIND will work from a DSLIST also (=3.4)

Enter QFIND from a DSLIST, and search the data set for the string „COLOR‟

Final lines of the SUPERC output

Up to four strings are allowed. But to search for strings on the same line TSO

DSLIST requires a double ampersand instead of the normal single ampersand.

For example: QFIND / COLOR &&BLUE

Returns only those lines where “COLOR” and “BLUE” are on the same line.

5.3.1 QCOMPILE – Compile a COBOL program

QCOMPILE – Compile edit buffer contents

No JCL is needed, no need to submit a compile job, no need to wait for the job to be run.

Immediate compile. Discover syntax errors before moving a component to a source manager.

Note: The full COBOL source must be in edit mode as QCOMPILE reads the edit buffer.

FORMAT: QCOMPILE RRTID LPTY

Note: No member name is needed as QCOMPILE uses the contents of the edit buffer- whether it

has been saved or not.

RRTID - Optional. A two byte RRTID as defined in the configuration files. It is

needed to select a COBOL copybook concatenation for the compile process.

If omitted, the RRTID will default to the current setting. It is required

if the “LPTY” parameter is used.

LPT - Represents three letters in any combination

L – Produce a PMAP

P – Bypass the DB2 pre-compiler step

T – Bypass the CICS translator step

Y - 'Y' Special second parameter used to view only the CICS translator

output. This can be useful as many translator warnings are really severe

errors. Cannot be specified with “T”.

User SYSLIB

To add a work copybook library to the top of the copybook concatenations selected

by the RRTID, create a PDS, populate it, and add it to the top of @COPY in the

config file, for the respective RRTID. Any copybooks located in that PDS will be

picked up first when executing QCOMPILE, QCOMPGO and QCCOPY. For a more

global approach, see Appendix A.

To compile data in the edit buffer enter QCOMPILE on the command line.

To compile using production copybooks enter QCOMPILE followed by the

production RRTID. To bypass DB2 and CICS steps enter QCOMPILE PR PT

Note: If the configuration file does not have the DB2 pre-compiler or

CICS translator defined for the RRTID being used, then QCOMPILE will

bypass those steps. Usually no parameters are needed.

5.3.2 QCCOPY – Compile a copybook, selected working storage

QCCOPY is used to get the total copybook length, and the individual lengths and displacements

of each field within a copybook.

A portion of COBOL working storage can be compiled for the same information. Other

copybooks within the selected working storage will be resolved using the current RRTID setting.

FORMAT: >>----- QCCOPY RRTID

RRTID - Optional. A two byte RRTID as defined in the configuration files. It is needed to select a

COBOL copybook concatenation for the compile process. If omitted, the RRTID will default to

the current setting.

Edit a copybook and enter QCCOPY, or place prefix command "CC" around a section of

working storage and enter QCCOPY

QCCOPY uses the current RRTID setting to expand copybooks within copybooks or working

storage. If required, first issue TSO QRRT (new RRTID) to change to a new RRTID environment

To instruct QCCOPY to pick up new/modified copybooks from a work library, see Appendix A

Quickly find syntax errors, verify the length of print lines, picture causes, LRECL changes.

Dump the lengths and displacements of a copybook or a working storage section

Results are returned in seconds

RRT User Guide © Copyright Rexware Solutions 2009 Page 50

Compile a copybook

Note: QCCOPY will insert a „01‟ level if the copy book does not start with one. Multiple “01”

levels are supported but remember that slacks bytes will be calculated for the field displacement

values. The same is true if SYNC is coded.

MEMB – A copybook name that reflects the file (optional)

RRTID – A two byte reference for an RRT environment defined in the RRT configuration file

It is used to locate the copybook. If omitted, the current RRTID will be used. (optional)

Cursor positioning is needed for mapping. The flat file must be in edit mode.

Usage:

QMAP with no parameters will display the column number at the cursor position

QMAP MEMB with no cursor positioning inside the flat file will produce a complete length and

offset report of the copybook (MEMB).

QMAP MEMB with cursor positioning inside the flat file will display field names the touch upon

that cursor position

QMAP MEMB RRTID will use the libraries defined by the RRTID to locate the MEMB

For example:

Let‟s say “PR” is he RRTID for the production libraries.

QMAP GAMRIT PR would be entered for the production version of copybook GAMRIT.

Following example:

The flat file below reflects copybook GAMRIT. The current RRTID,”AA”, and the column

number at the cursor position will be passed to QMAP. “GAMRIT AA 50” will be sent

QSQL – Execute SQL directly from the source code

Execute the SQL statements directly from the source code.

FORMAT: >>----- QSQL ASM

ASM – use ASM to include code in columns 1 thru 71 when parsing the SQL statement. The

default is COBOL columns 7 thru 72.

Notes:

QMF type comments like (- -) are supported. QMF semicolons are supported i.e.,

QSQL will not read past an unquoted semicolon. QSQL will not read past an “END-EXEC”

statement. COBOL commented lines are bypassed. Lines hidden using TSO Line commands

“X” or “XX” are bypassed. QSQL is case sensitive.

Supported verbs are: SELECT, WITH, MERGE, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.

The DECLARE portion is not sent to DB2 for syntax checking. Data types CLOB, BLOB and

DBCLOB and not supported. Field lengths greater the 500 bytes are truncated to 500 bytes.

TSO line commands “CC” are used to select the SQL to be executed

Note: CC, CC with PF4 defaults to COBOL

6 Appendix A

Ad hoc user copybook library- When executing QCOMPILE, QCOMPGO or QCCOPY it is

often helpful to pick up any copybooks that are being developed first. Place those copybooks in

a separate PDS and place that PDS at the top of @COPY in the config file for the respective

RRTID. Or, for a more global approach, add that PDS name to member ZSYSLIB in the work

PDS that was created by TSO QACCESS. If ZSYSLIB does not exist then add it as follows:

Check to see if the member exists. Enter TSO QACCESS and select option “L” next to your

work PDS. A member list will appear.

If ZSYSLIB is not there then select any component with an “S” on the prefix line

When that component pops up enter EDIT ZSYSLIB on the command line

Add your personal copybook library(s) to member ZSYSLIB

Add your development copybook member(s) to your personal copybook library.
