Shedlock DOS/VS: Changing POWER/VS autostart deck?


 

Looking at Professor Ferland's supervisor build from the Moshix M92 video, I see that there are additional unit record devices defined.

I have a sockdev reader defined in my hercules config at x'02c', running the $$a$sup1 supervisor in the Shedlock 5 pack. Submitting a job to that reader does not seem to do anything, until I did a PSTART RDR,02C.

If I IPL the Beaulieu system (using the $$a$supt supervisor), I can submit jobs to the reader at x'02c' just fine without manually issuing a PSTART.

Looking at GC33-5403-1 DOS/VS Power/VS Installation and Operations (Sept 74), there are probably a PSTART for the reader at 02C in the autostart deck on the Beaulieu system. How does a novice change the AUTOSTART deck?

The AUTOSTART deck install job is on minidisk 191 of the DOSVS virtual machine, file POWER SYSIN. So to update it, I suggest you punch it to your host, update it on the host and then submit it to DOS/VS via the card reader of VM/370. I am not sure if running the job will scratch and replace the existing one.

I've been resisting running this under VM/370, may have to change that.

The VM I have installed is either the 1.2 or 1.3B3 six pack. New enough, or do I need to grab VM/CE?

VM Sixpack 1.2 is fine. If you run DOS/VS native under Hercules, I see no problem using Michel Beaulieu system; use his disks and supervisor $$A$SUPT at IPL instead of $$A$SUP1, and you should be okay. :-)

Well, not really... $$A$SUPT is a modified version of $$A$SUP1 made by Michel for all I know. I think $$A$SUP1 still exists on Michel system, but it is not its proper supervisor.

1=T....

Well my last "real" DOS/VSE IPL was 1990..... (As a VM/VSE systems programmer) ...
The devil was in indeed in the detail..... .. And my memory very big (so details are easily lost!)

I was running Hyperion 4+ with VM370CE with DOSR34.. Only ... that delivered no success...
So I skipped VM370CE .. and .. SUC6...?

To speak with Spock... There must be a logical explanation......

And

I have to thinker with the VM370CE version to include the real console definitions etc etc...

Thx for the support!

I hope to deliver - in the near future -? a DOS/VSE/Hyperion/VM370 package!

But for now...... Happy New Year for all!

Regards,?
Marcel


 

Marcel -
Happy new year to you as well!

I hope to deliver - in the near future - a DOS/VSE/Hyperion/VM370 package!

I am most interested in your efforts and look forward to your delivery. I too, come from that era.

Best regards,
Jim
