GVBSTAT—Display Current Status of CA Hyper-Buf

This program displays the current status of CA Hyper-Buf, and displays assembly date/times for key CA Hyper-Buf modules.

If CA Hyper-Buf is active when GVBSTAT runs, the address of the OPEN intercept routine, the time that CA Hyper-Buf was initialized, the time of the last (most recent) refresh, and other key information is displayed. The assembly date and time for GVBDYNBF is taken from the copy that is currently loaded in the CSA, if CA Hyper-Buf is already active. All other modules are loaded from the JOBLIB/STEPLIB/LINKLIST to determine the assembly date and times, and the results are displayed.

If CA Hyper-Buf is not active when GVBSTAT runs, all modules are loaded to determine the assembly date and time.

Sample JCL member GVBSTAT is provided in the CAISAMP library.

Note: No input control statements are required for GVBSTAT. You can test the release levels of multiple copies of CA Hyper-Buf by adding a JOBLIB/STEPLIB that points to the library to be tested. If you do not supply JOBLIB/STEPLIB, or if the modules do not reside in the JOBLIB/STEPLIB libraries, the first copy of each module in LINKLST is tested/displayed.

Output is displayed on the SYSPRINT DD. GVBSTAT sets the return code to 8 if CA Hyper-Buf is not active. This value can be tested by the COND= parameter on subsequent job steps.
