Morris) Newsgroups: comp.lang.asm370 Subject: Re: (request for info on channel programming) Summary: Go to SHARE Message-ID: <72719@linus.UUCP> Date: 2 Oct 89 21:34:02 GMT References: <8909281416.AA02454@phoenix.Princeton.EDU> Sender: news@linus.UUCP Reply-To: jcmorris@mbunix (Morris) Organization: The MITRE Corporation, McLean, VA. Lines: 20 Several recent netnotes have asked for pointers to information on how to write channel programs for IBM mainframes. I can't point anyone to a textbook on the subject, but I would strongly recommend that people interested in the subject attend the related sessions at SHARE (the IBM mainframe user group). The primary force behind these tutorials is Dr. Robert Rannie of Northern Illinois University; he routinely teaches channel programming to his Computer Science students there. Robert gave the sessions at each of the two recent major meetings (Los Angeles and Orlando); I don't know if he intends to do so again at the next one in Anaheim next winter. If your installation is a SHARE member you might see if your installation representative to SHARE has a copy of the handout. I think that NIU is on BITNET; you might try to reach him there through the postmaster. Joe Morris
