    Background: We are upgrading the 31-bit implementation of our product to a 64-bit version. As with the 31-bit implementation, the objective is to run the 64-bit version under an Enclave SRB so it can be zIIP enabled. Historically, we have relied o...

    COBOL 6.4 and equivalent LE: Provide LE functions to convert BASE64 to binary and vice versa

    BASE64 is widely used in web applications, email attachments, embedding binary data in a text file, imbedding a PDF in an HTML page, etc. Providing LE functions so that COBOL 6.4 (and future compilers) can translate binary strings to BASE64 and vi...

    Split 31/64 Bit environments create 2 enclaves both think they own //SYSOUT and over-write each other when writing //SYSOUT to Disk DataSet. //SYSOUT needs to be owned by the initiating Enclave only.

    With the need to go to the 64-bit Java JNI for storage reasons, three of our customers all write //SYSOUT from some jobs to Disk. From Discussions with IBM both with Tickets: TS019872641 (COBOL) – closed - Low Severity, Question on JCL/JES //SYSOU...

    Make it easier to format a dormant CEEPIPI enclave in a dump

    LE library routines stack storage should not be initializzed

    We are using LE runtime option: STORAGE(00,NONE,00,0) We are not able to change this. This imposes a huge overhead in the LE library routines like the jsonGetValue(). As these routines do not rely on LE initialization of stack storage option, we w...

    Relax single TCB restriction on fopen(), freopen(), flocate(), etc. against MVS files

    There is currently a documented limitation when using threads to access MVS files: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=brizua-using-threads-mvs-files . Specifically, fopen(), freopen() and rewind() must be performed on the owning thread th...

    Better control of STACK and HEAP allocation in CICS.

    We want better control of the AUTODST parameter behaviour in CICS. We want to be able to control the maximum initial and incremental sizes. We also want to be able to control the percentage of the expected total sizes that goes to initial and incr...

    C fopen() SMS attributes to create a file

    We use Zfile class to access Z/OS file using Java. Zfile use fopen to manage Z/OS files. Unfortunatelly fopen() C primitive doesn't have MGMTCLAS, DATACLAS, STORCLAS SMS JCL attributes. So with Zfile, i can use SMS attributes to allocate an SMS fi...
