    Show information about 2G large pages in SDSF

    With more and more address spaces exploiting 2G large pages, the memory usage of ASIDs shown by SDSF in the DA panel (column REAL) loses relevance. We need a column showing the allocated 2G pages in the DA panel. It would be of additional value, i...

    IDCAMS PRINT to allow for codepage input

    The output of an IDCAMS PRINT job includes both the raw data in printed hexadecimal and also in a "translated" section that displays capital English and special characters from the EBCDIC code page. There are many international situations where al...

    Enhance active and status displays with acee userid

    Please add to these displays a column with the ACEE Userid - I'm not sure where owner is coming from but we have started tasks that are started by a server address space under the started task userid and then change to a specific userid which is r...

    SMF record to report for rolled off GDGs

    uss share memory needs to have flag to say 31/64 bit

    I wanted to connect to the Java Shared memory. When I used shmctl it came back with a length of 0. When I used shmat with address of 0, it came back with invalid parameter. I had to compile my program as 64 bit for it to work. We need a way of tel...

    Please modify SDSF RACF calls to class JESSPOOL to use the RACF group(not RACF userid) to validate if a user has access to view/modify output.

    This would be useful because users in a group should be able to view /modify all output created by userids in their group. Currently, SDSF only checks the userid of the output and many RACF groups contain many(5-50) userids so it would be very ben...
