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 .

Hello Fernando,
The RAKF messages regarding DIAG8CMD and SVC244 are triggered by BREXX.? BREXX is checking for these RAKF profiles.? Unfortunately RAKF has the default behavior to log such profile checks. We already changed the? BREXX to disable logging for racheck calls. We will do some further testing and will release a fixed version in the next days. ?

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:

This is great news Rob. Looking forward to be working?on this?project. The udate?and implementation?is clearly a big job so - well done to you Rob and all the participants.
TK 5 - MVS 3.8 z level accomplished!

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.

I would like to connect to TSO using ethernet from x3270 - how/where do I specify the IP address?
?
thanks

In your startup file;? I use Linux and I have a script to start Hercules that looks like this. ?
x3270 -geometry +1100+900 127.0.0.1:3271&
x3270 -geometry +1100+900 127.0.0.1:3271& ?

tl;dr? Warmest thanks, and some comments on defaults.
Thanks: this is brilliant, outstanding, with loads more than TK3 but keeping the turnkey ethos.
Comments: A minor detail, but for a long time turnkey has not made the best of TSO defaults, and I'm suggesting either a change, or just a note in the docs on how to make the changes.
Some TSO commands have helpful defaults that reduce typing.? Assuming PROFILE PREFIX(HERC03) is in effect:-
ASM T(HELLO) works as ASM 'HERC03.T.ASM(HELLO)'
CALL and TEST assume .LOAD so TEST T(HELLO) works as TEST 'HERC03.T.LOAD(HELLO)' and CALL likewise. From memory, the LO() option of LINK also works the same way.
TEST T(HELLO) OBJECT works as TEST 'HERC03.T.OBJ(HELLO)' OBJ and ASM T(HELLO) works as ASM 'HERC03.A.ASM(HELLO)'
So I'd recommend GROUP should be short, perhaps T rather than TEST, but more helpful is that user libraries work best when they are .COB, .ASM, .OBJ, .LOAD.?
To repeat, these might seem minor (except for habitual TSO command users and those with their own scripts, like me) and the overall impression is wonderful.
I still run my company accounts on MVS 3.8, thanks to TK4- (TK5 soon). Old habits die hard, and anyway the old code has the stability of a giant iceberg :-)

Hi Roops,
?
If you install TK5 for the first time, you need to install the complete system.
On this moment the complete system is on Update-3 level.
Please read the enclosed TK5 Migration and User's Manual.
In this system, the TSO user datasets (like HERC01.TEST.ASM) are on the TSOxxx volumes.
Once you migrated your datasets to the TK5 system, feel free to rename the datasets to e..g HERC01.T.xxxx
The updates on TK5 does not contain new TSOxxx volumes, so your datasets will not be touched in the
future updates.
?
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I did install the complete system. My comment was mainly aimed at improving usability for people who aren't as familiar and want to experiment and who want to have the same command line conveniences that I had back in the '80s :-)

A group of people in my radio club have become interested in Hercules/MVS as a tech learning challenge. Thanks Rob for MVS-TK5
?
Dave

Wow that is impressive!
The two radio clubs I belong to would never in a thousand years think of doing that.?
How can I join your group? ?

I belong to the Delaware Valley Radio Association in West Trenton, NJ. W2ZQ. We're a large club with a dedicated station building near the Mercer County Airport (our club house), including a full EME installation. We're just south of Princeton University so we have quite a few club members who were employed there, some as professors. Joe K1JT is a member. Right now my friend Bob K2KEM and I have been meeting on Tuesday afternoons to experiment with Hercules-MVS. Bob is a retired programmer from the university's business department and I retired from state government service. We're having a lot of fun figuring this out. We both dabble in amateur radio astronomy as well and have to admit that our newfound interest in Hercules/MVS is pulling at us pretty hard. I'm documenting our learning curve so that others in the club might become interested but I have to keep in mind that it's a radio club. If you're available on Tuesdays between 1:00PM and 4PM EDT we could Zoom you in, but we're not always sitting at the table. Sometimes we're deep in a QSO on 10. I might try to create an EchoLink group were we can focus on this as well and I would love to get the group's thought as yours as to how we can expand interest in this. Maybe a Zoom group or something? Does one exist?
Right now I have tk4- running on a Akamai/Linode VPS and tk5 on my laptop. When it comes to this, I feel like I'm back in my novice days.
