Hello! I’m new in the mainframe world and I’m trying to create a file in USS (z/OS Unix System Services) using a REXX script. The script should prompt the user for input and then write that input into the file. I’ve tried using chatGPT but it doesn’t give me good answers submitted by /u/Specialist_Bunch_945[link][comments]

We need to keep most users out of our i5 system during this year’s End Of Year closing processing, but we need to allow several users to log in. For better or worse, our policy for terminating users has been to disable their profiles. For the few users who return to work, it is easier to re-enable their profiles. So we need a way to disable several groups of users (who are not already disabled) and then be able to re-enable their profiles without re-enabling those users that were previously disabled (terminated.) I’m looking at handling this for about 100-150 active users. –> Or, is there a better way? Thanks! submitted by /u/jbarr107[link][comments]

I’m periodically getting a GPF crash in a Java application that’s called via COBOL in a job. I believe this is happening because something is corrupting the memory of the JVM.
