The correct URLs are country-specific. The IBMLink folks tell me that the
US link is
http://www.ibm.com/ibmlink/link2/ttpu/displayTTPUPage.wss?lc=en&cc=US

If you come in the "old front door" at http://www.ibm.com/ibmlink, you
will be directed to the right URLs. When you get there, bookmark *those*.

As a guess, the direct ../link2 only works after you have authenticated
via some other path.

Alan,

The new US link you mentioned below fails the same way as the others
fail...

We are having some success with the link the following way:

First, go to your normal link and try to log in. When you get the Sorry message, cut and paste the link below into your browser, hit enter, and you will be in. At least a most of our people are getting in that way.

:-( A previous post mentioned a Sev 1 problem. Hopefully these are all
just facets of the same problem.

Unfortunately IBMers cannot access IBMLink without incurring departmental
charges. We get to the back-end systems using other paths and so can't
readily test or verify problems you find in the front-end applications.
Sorry. (sigh)

Very confusing. If I follow the link http://www.ibm.com/ibmlink and
select Unitied States>SIS>login, then I get my normal IBMLink page. But,
if I take that link directly to the login screen, I get the *apology*.

I just did it and it redirected me back to the bad link.

Thanks.

The ISPF User's Guide states that if you enter View or Edit from 3.1 or 3.4, the system assumes you want mixed mode. This precludes highlighting (at least in the Japanese version of IBM's PCOMM). Does anyone know of a way to change or disable the assumption?

If you open a PDS and get a member list, I think you should be able to select a member for Edit and enter a forward slash in the PROMPT column and set mixed mode off? (I can't try this myself because I don't use a Japanese emulator). However, that wouldn't help you for sequential data sets. Another option would be to use SimpList, as that has its own edit/view entry options that are separate from those used by ISPF and they're always applied to every edit/view session launched by SimpList, no matter how they're launched. If you have any questions about that let me know.

Dave Salt

SimpList(tm) - try it; you'll get it!

On z/OS 1.11, we are noticing that passwords are being changed during logon when the user accidentally enters data in the new password field but then declines to confirm it. Specifically:

1 - The user enters "logon <userid>".
2 - The usual password panel appears.
3 - The user enters the correct password and some extraneous data in the new password field.
4 - The password panel reappears with a message to re-enter the new password.
5 - The users presses ENTER.
6 - The password panel appears again with a message that the two inputs do not match.
7 - The user presses ENTER again.
8 - The user is logged on but the password is changed to the extraneous data entered on the first panel in step 3.

If, in step 5, the user enters a second set of characters that does not match the those entered in step 3, the password is still changed, but this time to the data entered in step 5, not step 3.

Surely this cannot be WAD, otherwise there would be no point in asking for confirmation. Is there a PTF to fix this?

It doesn't do that on my 1.10 system. Have you opened a PMR?
