Issue/Introduction

Introduction:

How can I tell which SVCs have been DISABLED from SVC screening in an active CA-IDMS Central Version?

Instructions:

In a given CA-IDMS Central Version, SVC screening can be disabled for a particular SVC with the SYSIDMS parameter DISABLE_SVC_SCREEN=nnn where nnn is the number of the SVC in decimal. There can be more than one such parameter specification in SYSIDMS because it is possible to disable screening for more than one SVC.

If ECHO=ON is specified in SYSIDMS, the SYSIDMS parameters are echoed to the CV’s joblog. For example:

07.14.35 JOB43225  SYSIDMS parms --> ECHO=ON
07.14.35 JOB43225  SYSIDMS parms --> DMCL=GLBLDMCL
07.14.35 JOB43225  SYSIDMS parms --> DISABLE_SVC_SCREEN=02

However, if ECHO=ON is not set, there is no way to see in an active CV if SVC screening has been disabled for any SVCs.

The CSA field CSASCRNA points to a 256-byte table. Each entry in the table refers to each sequential SVC. If an entry is x’80’ then screening for that SVC has been disabled. If it is x’00’ then it hasn’t.

In r18.0, r18.5 and r19.0, the offset of CSASCRNA with the CSA is x’56C’.

For example, issue DCMT DISPLAY MEMORY CSA+56C:-

      DISPLAY MEMORY CSA+56C
 <Addr>   <Offset>                 <Hex>                    <Character>
0002C31C  0000056C  0001D410 3AA04000 3A8010B0 0002ECF0  *..M... ........0*

Take the value at that offset, in this example it is 0001D410 and display 300 bytes of memory from that point with the command DCMT DISPLAY MEMORY 1D410 300:-

      DISPLAY MEMORY 1D410 300
 <Addr>   <Offset>                 <Hex>                    <Character>
0001D410  00000000  00008000 00000000 00000000 00000000  *................*

The byte at offset x’02’ from the start of this table is x’80’ indicating that SVC screening has been disabled in this CV for SVC 2.
