In relation to VSAM and loading a dummy record, it is related to VSAM OPEN behaviour with an empty file. For a newly DEFINEd CLUSTER the file will open in LOAD mode. If you add, and optionally delete, a dummy record, then the OPEN will be in INSERT mode. LOAD mode was designed for fast loading of sequential data sort in ascending key order. INSERT mode is RANDOM access which is what you want for normal VSAM record processing. ( I believe I have the terminology correct, it has been a while since I read the dox).

Also ... when doing the "devinit 10c [path-file.xmi]", make sure to use the correct "/", not "\". Spent a good amount of time figuring that out. Happy KICKS development :-)

Hello Moshix, I noticed that only a user with the HERC01 logon can bring up KICKS. I assume that for security purposes, the presence of the HLQ on so many datasets prevents other logons from using the application. Is there a way to allow other logons {i.e. on the same system} to execute the CLIST?

It worked in a clean TK4- install .... the RECEIVE file JCL failed like hell in my oldest install. The one that I had done Compiler Pack (CPACK) in. CPACK stuff keeps cropping into everything. I think I need restore all my files to a new TK4- install ... Anyway I was able to avoid your debugger problem by turning that off earlier than you did. I wonder if there is a way to configure that off by default? Anyway fun stuff.

Thanks a lot for this Moshix! I tried myself with the help of this video and it worked like a charm! I’m still new to RFE and couldn’t find an answer googling but what is the difference using E or S when editing? I saw that you used E for editing LOADMUR and S when editing LOADTAC. Are they interchangeable? Thanks again for a great channel.

I was about to go through LOT of trouble to rebuilt my OLD TK4- on a New Install. But I had a thought to just disconnect (delete the SYSCPK_3390.cckd file) the SYSCPK DASD device. It works!!!!!! So now I can do CICS and probably ASSIST ASSEMBLER? and I don't have to rebuild my TK4- long time running system.

I have the same CICS (same job name sequence/apps) running every night at roughly the same time, and due to the load on the systems it usually ends up in input (usually 100+ positions), we end up manually starting those jobs, is there a command we could use in SysView to back force those jobs in inputs.

When you first ran kicks you ran KSSF ... signed off. Ran it again and did KEDF. Initially KEDF (Top line) was OFF. (Time 28:58) It looks like you hit F4 by mistake and toggled it ON. All you had to do is get out the other transaction and run KEDF again and hit F4 again. Or you could run "KEDF OFF". Of course I have this beauty in HINDSIGHT .... not while LIVE making a Video on something kind of new.

Found this on the web: "COPICS was indeed the Communications Oriented Production Information and Control System. It originated as a concept by IBM in the 1960s as a systematic way to organize manufacturing planning. The concept first appeared in a series of books on various aspects of manufacturing planning known as the ‘black books’ because of the covers. The concepts were later turned into a series of software products (COPICS was announced in 1979 and replaced with COPICS II in 1981)that allowed manufacturers to purchase a prewritten set of programs to handle order entry, bills of material, inventory control, material requirements planning, purchasing, etc. COPICS used a hierarchical data base known as DL/1, which was later replaced with IBM’s DB2 product. IBM sold the rights to COPICS in the 1990s." There was also a system called MAPICS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPICS

Hello Moshix! Great video, as always. I am coming from over here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bp2aoKSfl83Ono0.html&ab_channel=moshix (CTC-Mainframe-API by Matthew Wilson). I am trying to create a mainframe system with REST API:s, and figured it out thanks to your video above of Matthew's interesting API. My idea is to essentially submit jobs with the rest api that calls KICKS somehow, that then process data. Is there a more appropriate way of doing this, is it even possible? I am looking at KICKS because of its performance enhancing capabilities, and it would be a shame to not harness its full potential. This is gold and I can not believe this is free. Thank you!

The mirror (from Vince Coen) is not an official mirror. His copy is on his bbs web page but you can find the link to it only if you are am member of the KICKS yahoo group. The group is a "closed" group and you have to ask for access before you can find these information. The best place for the KICKS documentation (and other important information about it) would be the CBT Tape collection. You mentioned in one of your videos, that you know some of these people. Isn't there already a Tape. I will have a look what is already there. I asked for a copy of some information from Mike's page in your github repository because people will watch your video after Mike's page has gone and it would be nice to have the backgroun information of KICKS also in the repository. But maybe you know a better way to "remember" the KICKS documentation. Just remove the link to the page, when it's gone and add a notice where interested users still can find . It's really hard to work with KICKS if you don't have at least the manuals.
