I meant: can I use VTP 3.8 to create a member of a private source library, which will contain a complete job, and then submit this job to POWER (with a submit command of some kind inside VTP) and check the output in the LST queue (from VTP)? In other words, is VTP 3.8 a reasonable substitute for ICCF?
?Understood.? Having never seen VTP, I can't comment.? However, being an avid ICCF user, I can only hope VTP can be a reasonable substitute. Now my task is to find VTP 3.7!? Any idea where?

Re: VTP Assistance Needed
Hello Jim and Rene
I still had the directory on my PC containing the DOS/VS system I was playing around with back in 2022 so I thought I would have a look and see if I could bring it up again and try running VTP as I had left it back then.
I said previously that I had been running the original DOS/VS 5 pack system and the DOS/VS 5 pack v1r0m1 system at various times so I can't remember what state the disks I have are in.? What I did discover is that VTP seems to work with supervisor $$A$SUPT.
This probably came from the v1r0m1 system.
The open errors for FILE02 - FILE14 can be ignored as only FILE00 and FILE01 exist.
As I said before, I am a DOS/VS novice so I can't be of much help.? My background was MVS etc.
Best regards, Alex.

For sure, it is easier to install, and it runs with DOS/VS as a guest under VM/370 (despite the opposite claim in the readme.txt).

Mark, ? To be honest, I was fascinated by PS/44.? I only recently learned about it when I was preparing for a presentation, I’m going to be giving at the VM Workshop later this week.? Part of my talk will cover the development of FORTRAN and COBOL.? I was fascinated to realize that IBM built a machine that was missing instructions in order to operate faster, and had a special operating system that could only compile FORTRAN.? ? John ? John, So, what is your interest?in PS/44?? Did you ever work with the model 44, back in the day?
When I attended Clarkson College of Technology (now Clarkson U.) in Potsdam, NY from 1971 through 1975, they ran 44-MFT, a locally modified variant of PS/44.? It was very similar to the 44-MPS described elsewhere and made available via SHARE Program Library Agency (SPLA).? I was a student operator and ran batch jobs on 44-MFT on week-ends.? Fun times!
I have uploaded the files for 44-MPS to a new "PS44-MPS" folder in the "Files" area of this group.
You can find almost all of the relevant manuals for the IBM PS/44 (aka. 44/PS) here: See also the attached document and source code (recovered from some old SHARE SPLA Tapes.) This is probably as close as we can ever get to finding a copy of PS/44. What is missing are the tools to format disk packs, to put the system on the SYSRES volume, etc. -- the tools described?in the System Programming manual of PS/44.? ?But I believe we can substitute equivalent tools and utilities from DOS/360 and OS/360.? ?Use either 2311 or 2314.? ?The other disk drive, 1311 or whatever it was, was a very strange device -- very non-standard, not very much like other IBM DASD of that time period.? ? This site can "point the way" to how to bootstrap MPS/44, for example, how to write an IPL program, put it on the disk, etc. -- starts from the very basics and builds up. I think the closest we can get to a running PS/44 look-alike would be to use this approach to resurrect MPS, substituting and using various utilities from OS/360 or DOS/360 as needed. For example, PS/44 (and 44-MPS) had "directoried data sets" that are similar to but not identical with an OS PDS.? We can just create and use a PDS.? This may require a few small changes to some of the channel programs used in MPS.? The TXXOS web site shows how to do these tasks, for example, how to read data from a PDS to load a program member into memory, etc. Look this all over and let me know what you think.

Re: VTP Assistance Needed
Greetings Professor,
It is so nice to hear from you again.?
Jim, you are exactly where I was yesterday after spending an entire afternoon trying to make this VTP 3.8 work.
I was assuming you were successful in your installation of VTP but now realize you were running version 3.7. I am moderately glad to see you are experiencing the same results. ;-)
Perhaps I should downgrade and run version 3.7.?
Before my changes, I was able to initiate VTP in F3. It was only after I DIALed that the abends occurred. Now I can’t even start VTP.?
The big question for me is whether or not it is possible to create/edit/submit jobs to POWER with VTP 3.8.
I’m not sure I understand what this means.?
Thank you for spending time with this! ?

Jim, you are exactly where I was yesterday after spending an entire afternoon trying to make this VTP 3.8 work. I don't know why it behaves like that. However I noticed that the system storage map given in the README does not correspond to the default one of the 5-pack. Also, according to the map, F1 runs a program named POWERV. So I assume the creator of VTP uses a different supervisor and version of POWER on his system. Maybe that plays a role. As a matter of fact, the private library of the previous version, VTP 3.7, contains both the two phases $$A$SUPV and POWERV. I did not tried to restore and use them for this version however.
The big question for me is whether or not it is possible to create/edit/submit jobs to POWER with VTP 3.8. The warning "Also be advised, [that version] does not support cross part communications!" seems to suggest the answer is no. If so, the program can be used to explore DOS/VS with an interactive interface, but not really to work with it. It was certainly the case of the previous version.
In any case, I feel this "corrected" VTP 3.8 needs more corrections :-) or at least a more complete README (no offense intended).
Cheers,

Re: VTP Assistance Needed
OK! What an interesting trip down memory lane. . .
1. I reassembled the POWER module changing 'ACCOUNT=NO' to 'ACCOUNT=YES' and called it POWERA.
2. I copied POWER SYSIN to POWERA SYSIN and changed '// EXEC POWER' to '// EXEC POWERA' and 'FORMAT=N' to 'FORMAT=A'.
3. I reformatted the input records for ' U000.SECURITY.FILE' and rebuilt the two files? 'U000.SECURITY.FILE' and 'U000.CONTROL.FILE' using?
OSS99 and VTPUTIL respectively.
4. Finally, I issued 'R RDR,VTP' and got the following results.

According to the Functional Characteristics the 2315 drive had 200 cylinders + 3 spare. Each cylinder consisted of 16 sectors of 366 bytes each.
It supported '0001011' + 1 byte for seek cylinder.
???????????? 'hsss1010' for read. Read begins at h(Head), sss(Sector) and continues to end of track
???????????? 'hsss1001' for write. It began at given sector until end of track, if there was not enough data the rest of the track was written as 0.
??????????? '00000010' Read IPL, '00000011' NOP, '00000100' Sense.
The 44 supported most of the RR, RX, RS, and SI instructions. According to docs it did not support LM/STM, BXH, BXLE but they are used in MPS/44.
The 44 also allowed for instructions do be placed in bump storage and on illegal opcode it could transfer to bump storage to be executed.

Stronger than that - I don't think FBA (in the IBM mainframe context) overlapped the 360/44 or 44PS at all. Whether any IBM
FBA disk device could be attached to any S/360 (or at least was
supported by IBM in such a configuration) is doubtful, but I don't know
for sure that it was impossible.?

Is the format of the disk known?? Is the content on the disk also
known?? I have a lot of tools for building emulated disks.? So
might help.??
I am assuming running the code would use an emulator of some
kind.? The SATK assembler, ASMA, has support to assemble code for
PS/44 with all of its "weirdness".? The resulting code has not
ever been tested.? In fact I never thought it might be possible.?
But with an emulator, it could be and of some use depending upon
why the original programs are being sought.
