ci enhancements

where 'A' is append access, 'L' is lock access, 'Td' is traverse directory entries permission,

'Rd' is read directory entries permission, 'Cd' is create directory entries permissions, 'Dd' is

delete directory entries permission, and 'I' is an ACD validity bit. POSIX read access is

granted if the 'R' or 'Rd' bits are set. POSIX write access is granted if the 'W', 'Cd', or 'Dd'

bits are set. POSIX execute access is granted if the 'X' or 'Td' bits are set.

fmtcpumillisec - returns the same formatted time as shown by :SHOWPROC. The initial

format is: MM:SS.milliseconds. Once this format overﬂows it is automatically converted to

HH:MM:SS. The same formatting applies to fmtwaitmillisec.

fmtpid - a process ID (PID) is unique for the life of the system. It consists of 32 bits of a

PIN and 32 bits of a reuse count. Since the CI does not yet support 64 bit numbers, the

formatted MPE PID is returned in a string. The string contains the ASCII PIN, followed by

a single space, followed by the ASCII reuse count. The pxpid is the POSIX PID and

consists of the 16 bit reuse count followed by the 16 bit PIN. This value is returned as a 32

bit CI integer, and is the same number seen in the shell’s ‘ps’ command output.

program - if the program ﬁlename can be representated in MPE syntax then it is

returned in the traditional MPE 'ﬁle.group.account' format. Otherwise, the program name

is returned in POSIX (HFS) syntax as an absolute pathname.

jinfo

Four new items have been added to the JINFO function:

Executing bool True if the target job exists and is in the

INTRO, EXEC* or EXEC states.

Scheduled bool True if the target job exists and is in the

SCHED state.

Suspended bool True if the target job exists and is in the

SUSP state.

Waiting bool True if the target job exists and is in the

WAIT state.

ipaddr, the IP address item, now requires the same capabilities as enforced by the

SHOWCONN utility and by the :LISTFILE,access command. Namely, one of: SM, OP, NA,

NM, or PM capbility is required in order to obtain the IP address of the target session.

The cipin and jsmainpin items no longer have special restrictions in place. Any user can

retrieve the CI PIN or the JSMAIN PIN for any job/session.

CPU time, in both seconds and milliseconds, is now accurate for all jobs and sessions.
