'SYS1.SCEELKEX and SYS1.SCEELKED with C370 remark

Postby h0ppel » Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:17 pm

Hello,

Sorry in advance for this unqualified question.

In SCLM there are these two DataSets ('SYS1.SCEELKEX'  / 'SYS1.SCEELKED') with the remark "C370".
Could anybody say if there is any connection to the IBM C/370 Library (https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-b ... NUS291-050)
or what does the "C370" means in this case?

best regards

CEE is the module prefix IBM uses for Language Environment, which is a common run-time interface for programs written in C/C++, COBOL, PL/1, and assembler. LE has been available for quite a while, so the C370 probably refers to C/370, one of the C compilers IBM has supported over the years. The current compiler is z/OS XL C/C++.

C370 was the very first IBM mainframe C compiler. As Mr. Sample says, C370 has been replace by z/OS XL C/C++. If you can find SYS1.SCEELKEX or SYS1.SCEELKED, try looking for CEE.SCEELKEX and CEE.SCEELKED. I think you'll find they're the same.
