LE __heaprpt() that doesn't freeze all threads

We use the LE callable service __heaprpt() from C++ but it causes all threads to be frozen. Can we have a version that doesn't freeze threads (i.e from volatile fields in control blocks)? We don't mind if it's closely approximate.

C fopen() fails with errno 41 for VSAM VRRDS files; EDC5041I An error was detected at the system level when opening a file.

We have products that use the VSAM VRRDS file type. We would like to use Java and the JZOS Toolkit to open and read these files while remaining zIIP eligable. The JZOS Toolkit uses the C fopen() to open VSAM files and this fails for the VRRDS file...

CEL4RO31 supports multiple threads

Currently when to use CEL4RO31 to do convertion from 64 bits to 31 bit, CELQGIPB just supports one single thread, but can not support multiple threads. For some applications, especially for web application, one request is one thread, so CEL4RO31 c...

64-bit version of CEE3ERP required

CICS TS 4.2 and above provide support for Java by running a JVM within a 64-bit PIPI enclave (CELQPIPI). Every thread within the enclave begins life as an LE pthread and so has the LE ESTAE active for error handling. CICS enabled threads will addi...

Unexpected CEELAA_STACKFLOOR64 address when storage initialization is used

During testing of IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS, we encountered a problem with the CEELAA_STACKFLOOR64 field. Fault Analyzer uses this value to determine the valid address range of the stack storage when checking a possible DSA address. Basically, i...

strnlen.c support

strnlen.c is a widely available function in open systems/open source. Currently we have to code our way around this not being natively available in z/OS c/c++. strlen.c is available on z/OS and it would be a great enhancement for us if strnlen.c w...

Enhance APIs, such as __login_applid() and __pthread_security_np() to support obtaining messgaes from the underlying RACROUTE

RACROUTE VERIFY ENVIR=CREATE provides the ability to return messages back from RACF to the caller of RACROUTE. With the introduction of Multi-Factor Authentication in 2016, these messages provide useful and in some cases essential information back...
