DOS/VS: where to start?

 

I'm wanting to get a DOS360 or DOS/VS (preferably) running. I'm looking for something that I can just do compile and run for PL/I, Cobol, and (hopefully) FORTRAN.

I grabbed the dosvs5pack-v1r0m1*.zip files from the yahoo groups archives, and got it running (had to adjust the configuration for case-sensitivity, I host on Linux). Apparently it was put together by Michel Beaulieu.

I see references to a 5-pack by Shedlock.

Are they the same? If not, which is preferable for my load-and-go scenarios? (and where do I find the latter?).

Hello Doug,
?
Yes they are (slightly) different. I suggest you work with the original 5-pack of George Shedlock, available here: http://www.vm370.org/dos, just to make it easier to help you eventually.

Are you running DOS/VS as a guest under VM/370 CE?

I am NOT running under VM/370; I am (just now) using the configuration from Beaulieu, but with the Shedlock DASD. I am working through the M91 video right now, POWER/VS just came up. Let me get through the (your) videos, and we'll see where I land.
 

Hello Rene,

I'm trying to run the DOSVE under VM/370CE..
It's telling me (after the set command) It can't? go on.. missing PUB

I don't have a listing of the superviser generation and don't know what I'm doing wrong (it was 1990 the last time I generated VSE and VM... so rusty allright)

Hope you can shine some light on it :-)

That's because you are trying to use the DOS/VS virtual machine logon console as a system console. DOS/VS expects its system console to be on 01F while the logon console is on 009. What you need to do is the following:
?
1. Logon normally on DOSVS with a 3270 connection.
?
2. Purge all spool files from the virtual card reader:
?
? ?purge rdr all
?
3. Run the DOSIPL EXEC:
?
? ?dosipl
?
4. When you get the message IPL 360 on the logon console and
? ?the word RUNNING at the right bottom, minimize that window
? ?and don't touch it for the moment.?
?
5. Start a new 3270 connection, press Enter to erase the VM/370
? ? logo, dial the DOSVS virtual machine on 01F
?
? ?dial dosvs 01f
?
? ?and press Enter twice.
?
You should see message 0I04I at the top of the screen and be able to continue with the IPL process.

I watched the Moshix M91 and M92 videos, understand what they are doing, and everything is working so far (I have gotten PL/I and FFORTRAN programs successfully compiled). So thank you very much!!!

I'll have some more questions I will start new topics for, but this is pretty cool. Alien (I have an MVT/MVS background), but cool.
