IBM Mainframe Forum

It seems like there is some confusion in terminology... you do not need a separate UNIX system. Unix System Services is part of z/OS. And it seems like you can issue OMVS command, so you should be able to issue the rexx SYSCALLS function as shown in the Redbook.

But the JOB for starting the server looks like:


I don't understand the lines PARM='sh /u/dario/my_srv 30010' and //STDOUT DD PATH='/u/dario/stdout' and
//STDERR DD PATH='/u/dario/stderr'

Unix System Services (USS) are part of z/OS. And you have OMVS authority (which says you can use USS). The DD statements refer to USS files. Not sure what the PARM= is... likely the name of the rexx program.

The "sh" says to execute a shell command script (which could be a REXX program) located in the /u/dario directory of Unix System Services and named my_srv; the 30010 is presumably a parameter used by the shell script. STDOUT and STDERR are standard output and error files used in Unix System Services (and Unix in general); both are located in the /u/dario directory and will contain the output (or errors) produced by whatever programs are executed by the shell script. Option 3.17 of ISPF will (generally) allow you to look in the /u/dario directory on your system. An executable program is invoked by using PARM='PGM xxx' where xxx is the name of the executable file. PARM='SH xxx' can be used to execute Unix System Services commands as well (PARM='sh ls -al' for example).

Thank you very much.

What I do wrong?
I go to the 3.17 (from the ISPF) and create:

Pathname: /u/moral
Permission: 777
Link: blank
File Type: 1. Directory

In the same way create: /u/moral/stdout and /u/moral/stderr
In directory /u/moral create:

Pathname: /u/moral/serv
Permission: 777
Link: blank
File Type: 2. Regular file

I can't edit file serv from 3.17 so I go to the 6 (Command) and issue ishell comand.
In UNIX System Services ISPF Shell i go to /u/moral and edit serv for example:

But when I submit the job:

System gives me an error:

In the Reason Codes from the UNIX System Services Messages and Codes i find:

003D
JRDirNotFound

A directory in the pathname was not found.

Action: One of the directories specified was not found.
Verify that the name specified is spelled correctly.

Why system gives me this error if the path is OK? Maybe I do something wrong when I create a serv file?

On Hercules I running z/OS.

and that is in conflict with IBM licensing agreement.

when You run pirated software You should at least have the skill to run it without asking around

If your job is going to execute something called my_srv, don't you think your edit session should be creating my_srv instead of serv?

my mistake when I write post. In each place is my_srv

Why are you so nervous? I tries learn something, that's all.
P.S.
In my work I have eal mainframe now I do it at work.

I am not nervous, why should I be anyway... ?
I just wanted to make You aware that what You are doing is illegal!
