Does Google offer an "untranslate" service? [tongue] Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means post your code! Razalas

I needed to identify all the child processes belonging to a given process id. From a search here, I found this post [thread822-721794], which suggested ptree (from the Solaris world). However, ptree is not available on the RedHat installation that I work on, but instead provides "pstree". I...

Generally speaking different records defined in the same FD all share the same storage (i.e. are different views of the same area of memory). So writing all three records at one time will generate three separate records on the file but all with the exact same data. Regarding the READ...

Tom, many thanks! Those changes solved my issue. Now to see if I can apply the same concept to larger examples. Don't know how you find time to watch all these forums, but thank you, thank you, thank you. Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means post your code! Razalas

From what I read on the internet, this ought to be a simple task to accomplish, but I can't seem to get XSLT to do what I need... Am receiving an XML message and I need to create an identical output XML message except with some of the element names replaced. In the input message below, I would...

When we do this sort of operation at my installation, we generally rename each file as we process it (e.g. rename whatever.send to whatever.sent). You don't have to do that, but for us, it makes it obvious which files were processed. Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means...

Santa Mufasa, so if DJJ's nephew had an online dictionary available, he might want to be a chief instead. But I don't see how that would have helped him to get to be an astronaut. Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means post your code! Razalas

PHV, another excellent suggestion! Thanks! Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means post your code! Razalas

Great point! I knew there was a good a reason for checking here. thanks, Olded. Have a star! Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means post your code! Razalas

On our system we generate a large number of temporary files every day, and at the end of the day, we remove them. Except lately, the number of files has grown to be quite long, so the remove command we are executing is failing, as shown below: $ rm RECPT-ZONE* -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too...

It sounds like what you are saying is that you expected the ON EXCEPTION clause to be executed but was not. But you are not clear about what evidence there is to show that the ON EXCEPTION clause statements were not executed. It sounds to me like they were executed, they simply did not do what...

Back when I used to work in the MVS (z/OS) world (over 12 years ago), the last application I worked on included several large WS tables that needed to be initialized "for each policy" and Strobe analysis also indicated that a disproportionately large percentage of time was being spent...

Just in case anybody is interested, it seems like my problem was due to trying to append data using multiple --data-binary parameters. According to the man page, multiples of --data-binary should append data. I actually had three: one for everything up to the "binary data", one for the "binary...

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this, but hopefully somebody here might be able to point me in the right direction. I am trying to POST an HTTP request to a business partner's web site using the Linux curl command, but I am having trouble sending all my content. They want the message...

Wow! I've been off of MVS for nearly 12 years, but I would have given my left arm for this utility back then. Nice bit of research. Have to file this one away in my "treasure" chest. Catch a star from me! Thanks Marc! Code what you mean, and mean what you code! But by all means post your...
