BOS/360 run test


 

Thanks Richard, and all for directions

I've see on files a BOS360.zip file uploaded by Ren¨¦ (thanks/mer?i) and I'm trying it
I'm using TeraTerm as telnet client, and Hercules 4.0?

I found some curious behavior
If I type? ADD X'00C'... up to SET DATE, I got 0I20I IPL COMPLETE message as expected
but
- if I paste the commands on teraterm window and press on keyboard last <ENTER> ... I got no message, just stuck there
- if I type on hercules console:?devinit 00c .\jobs\ipl.jcl ascii eof, then on TeraTerm <ENTER>; instead IPL COMPLETE I got 0I18A SET STATEMENT NOT GIVEN

Does Telnet needs a special setting? Do I miss any special key sequence for end of file ?

Best Regards
Roberto


 

Hi Roberto,

Not sure what commands you are looking for. BOS is basically a DOS
system without foreground jobs. Jobs are submitted via the card
reader, or whatever is declared as SYSIPT. There is some description
on console commands here:



The console commands are pretty simple, cancel jobs, continue job etc.

Could it be SET DATE=08/31/2021,CLOCK=12/47/00

I am not certain what the date and time delimiters would be.

Roberto,

I am not sure what you do with your TeraTerm console connection. I just tried it myself and it works perfectly fine.
I changed two settings: Enter will send CR+LF, and local echo is activated. The IPL sequence from the card reader is:
?
1) start Hercules;
2) connect your TeraTerm console;
3) in the Hercules console: ipl 280 (Enter)
4) in the Hercules console: devinit 00c jobs/ipl.jcl eof (Enter)
?
After that, you should (only) see the 1L02A message?on your TeraTerm console. The system is ready to run jobs.
?
Cheers,

Hi Ren¨¦

Solved!
I was doing two things wrong
1) Pressing <ENTER> on teraterm so input for IPL comands was set to master console. If you do not press <ENTER>, input is set to card reader on devinit 00c
2) I was typing on hercules ===> prompt "devinit 00c .\jobs\ipl.jcl eof" instead of "devinit 00c ./jobs/ipl.jcl eof". The backslash was confusing hercules

Now it is IPLing
Thanks
Roberto


 

It's not very chatty.
