Netview Rexx

[bitz2000]

Just wondering if anyone out there codes in Netview Rexx for OS/390. If so, I'd also like to know if you use SA/MVS.

If you are familiar with these, I have a question for you. Did you ever write a rexx clist to deal with changes to clist automation flags not being saved across IPL's and/or Netview recycles? I'm starting to work on the issue but I figured if anyone out there already has written it up, there's no sense in re-inventing the wheel.

Thanks.

I'm not experienced in the nuances of NetView, so I dont know if my RUNDATA on

might do the trick for you. If NetView can take advantage of ISPF Facilities, you're in...

Hi Rexxhead.
Thanks for the link. I checked it out but unfortunately it's not something I can use. Netview runs as a separate address space in the system and you logon to it to monitor all systems in your realm (instead of watching 14 console screens for 14 systems). So it can't use ISPF facilities.

Thanks anyway.

Are you trying to save away certain 'switches' so that you don't have to reset them again across recycles? The only way I can think that you could do this safely is to 'dump off' the settings into a repository every time you change one.

Where you dump it off to, and how, are the bigger questions. Personally I would load the values into memory and write them out only if someone changes one of them. If you have a lot of changes though, that would be a lot of I/O.
