Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product, the method comprising: opening a storage volume associated with a mainframe computer executing z/OS operating system; obtaining access to a required area of the storage volume; receiving a call from a program programmed in a high level programming language and executed on the mainframe computer, to execute a user channel program, wherein the user channel program may refer to any location within the required area of the storage volume; and processing the user channel program to obtain channel command words and provide the channel command words to Execute Channel Program (EXCP).
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- opening a storage volume associated with a mainframe computer executing z/OS operating system;
- obtaining access to a required area of the storage volume;
- receiving a call from a program programmed in a high level programming language and executed on the mainframe computer, to execute a user channel program, wherein the user channel program may refer to any location within the required area of the storage volume;
- and
- processing the user channel program to obtain channel command words and provide the channel command words to Execute Channel Program (EXCP).
A computerized apparatus having a processor, the processor being adapted to perform the steps of:
- opening a storage volume associated with a mainframe computer executing z/OS operating system;
- obtaining access to a required area of the storage volume;
- receiving a call from a program programmed in a high level programming language and executed on the mainframe computer, to execute a user channel program, wherein the user channel program may refer to any location within the required area of the storage volume;
- and
- processing the user channel program to obtain channel command words and provide the channel command words to Execute Channel Program (EXCP).
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium retaining program instructions, which program instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- opening a storage volume associated with a mainframe computer executing z/OS operating system;
- obtaining access to a required area of the storage volume;
- receiving a call from a program programmed in a high level programming language and executed on the mainframe computer, to execute a user channel program, wherein the user channel program may refer to any location within the required area of the storage volume;
- and
- processing the user channel program to obtain channel command words and provide the channel command words to Execute Channel Program (EXCP).
