zSecure - Allow function e.g. SUM for User-Defined Variables

zSecure gives us the ability to define our own file structures using e.g. DEVTYPE TYPE=$txt, but then doesn't allow us to use any of the fields we define in DEFINE statements, such as in SUM(xxx). It's a case of, "giving with one hand and taking a...

CKFCOLL should use CSF-API Calls to collect ICSF key label information and not read ICSF Key Data Sets

We remarked that the CSF STC was blocked for some minutes by the CKFCOLL jobreading the Key Data Sets. With growing importance of encription that mightget more and more a problem. So we think it might be better to use the CSF-APIs (e.g. CSFKDSL (K...

zSecure - XML Creation and eMailing (CSSIDs other than IBM-1047)

When creating an XML file for emailing via our z/OS SMTP server, the CSSID translation table it uses is IBM-1141, and not the usual IBM-1047. We then get unrecognised characters in the .xml file, which doesn't display on our Windows browsers. We'd...
