Thank you Rob at al.
Complete clueless newbie here. Just followed the update from 2 to
3 in the webpage. Everything worked like a charm.
Other than the messages about DIAG8CMD and SVC244 at the console,
there was no problem so far.
Once again, thank you all for the fantastic product.
Cheers!
Hi Folks,
Today on the 57th birthday of our Dutch king I am pleased to announce
the third update of MVS 3.8J Turnkey 5. This update contains many new
components and a huge amount of changes.
*The summary of updates are:*
Larry Belmontes has developed a Tutorial for ISPF. This tutorial,
LBTUTOR, can be accessed via ISPF option T. The installed REVIEW
panels have been converted to ISPF 2.2 format. ISPF option 3.6 now
provides a Hardcopy function (CPRT36). The TSO command TSOEXEC is now
available. TSOEXEC was introduced with the TSO/E Program Product not
available for TK5 users. To provide the same functionality for TK5
users Rob Prins has developed the TSOEXEC command. The purpose of
TSOEXEC is to execute authorized TSO command processors in a
non-authorized environment. The only restriction is that the TSO user
should have access to resource SVC244 in the FACILITY class. If no
security product is installed, then access is always granted. Usermod
RP00003 has been applied to SVC 24 so that the device information
returned by DEVTYPE now provides the correct number of cylinders for
the various models of 3380 and 3390 DASD devices. See the document:
“TK5 Usermod Directory”. Hercules has been upgraded from 4.6 to 4.7.
Only the Windows 64 and Linux 64 binaries are upgraded. The bug in
LOGON (,)APPLID=xxxxxxxx in ETHLOGVM has been resolved with a rework
of usermod ZBP0002. SYS1.TK5.INSTALL.CNTL has been moved from TK5RES
to TK5001 and renamed to TK5.INSTALL.CNTL to better reflect its
purpose in providing the installation JCL used to install the
packages on the TK5001 and TK5002 volumes. ISPF option 3.7.V package
DVTOC updated to V1R0M03 to fix an ABEND0C4 when running authorized.
Ed Liss has upgraded his MAP3270 package from 3.1.0 to 3.2.1. Bob
Polmanter has upgraded NJE38 from 242 to 250. The most significant
update is the MEMBERS keyword in the TRANSMIT command. With RECEIVE
you can replace members in an existing partitioned dataset. Package
BREXX/370 has been updated from V2R5M2 to V2R5M3L01. Rob Prins has
updated RPF from V1R9M6 to V1R9M7. See RPF option 7.5 for a summary
of the changes. Greg Price has updated Review 50.4 to 51.2. SPY full
screen display of 3270 system console screens has been upgraded to
support all terminal sizes. TK5 Introduction and User Manual page 5
PDS command package upgraded from 8.6.20.0 to 8.6.22.0. An I/O device
system generation has been performed to include the following :- o 16
CTCs at unit addresses 700-708 and 710-717 o 16 CTCs at unit
addresses 800-808 and 810-817 o 32 non shared 3380 DASD at unit
addresses 1E0-1EF and 2E0-2EF o 32 non shared 3390 DASD at unit
addresses 1F0-1FF and 2F0-2FF The 3390 DASD WORKnn volumes now have a
use attribute of PUBLIC instead of STORAGE for standardized
allocation of permanent data sets. ZP60009, a usermod essential for
the successful operation of full screen TSO/VTAM applications, and
with a long history of rework, has again been reworked by Greg Price.
Some issues were found with 3270 data stream processing for large
3270 screens. Greg stated: “It's taken 21 years, but this time for
sure!” From a suggestion by Volker Bandke, the initial CLIST ISPLOGON
is updated and the (B)REXX exec $CONCAT is added. OS/360 Sort/Merge
for MVS 3.8 updated to Version 1.03 to increase the seven digit
record count fields in information messages to eleven digits. HTTPD
server is upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0.0
Please download MVS-TK5 Update-3 or the complete MVS-TK5 system with
Update-3 included from:
To install the system, please read page 22 of the Introduction and
user manual (
). Please read also the Announcement Letter. (

Have a lot of fun with this "new" version of MVS 3.8J
Cheers,
Rob
