Re: Slightly off-topic: development machine for z/OS wanted

Hi, Paul,
 

 I'm aware of the differences between several operating systems. What is still missing in C18 i.e. is strings and Unicode. With the latter I'm including encoding and normalization. In pEp engine we have this problem solved by implementing platform dependent adapters. Also there is no network I/O at all in C18. And while threads were be added there is no async I/O abstraction nor any concept of abstract concurrency or scheduling. POSIX API partly is helping here – i.e. it's bringing in async I/O. But because some other things are still missing there is a lack of standards remaining, too.
 

 Is the required patch to run MVS/380 already in Hercules 4 ? If not, I don't have a Windows machine. Where can I find the patch, and on which version of Hercules am I required to apply this patch?

 

 Yours,
 VB.
