Sorry to ask another, probably stupid question and take up space but – I am at a loss to understand this and assume others have not had this issue. Jay Mosley’s instuctions homebuilt MVS3.8j system – working perfectly. Master Catalog – ‘sys1.vsam.master.catalog’ has as part of the build process a updatepw set to the value of SYSPROG – I understand the value of doing this. Any Batch jobs making a modification, console prompts me for the password – a reply to the message like R12, SYSPROG works perfectly, the job is successful, obvious the password is working perfectly. Have written several JCL jobs that allocate a dataset or whatever that requires an update and they work fine. Here’s the issue ---- In TSO, either with a ALLOC or where I first found this and thought I was stupid, in RPF 4.2 Allocate a dataset – set what I want, enter A – Get a clear screen, prompt for the Catalog password – I enter it, letter by letter carefully – get a response of *** and allocation failed. Try it in uppercase, lowercase, won’t work. Same at the TSO command prompt using ALLOC – it will not accept the password. Thought it was just me being stupid – but I conducted the following test, I wrote/ran a IDCAMS job, ALTER to NULLIFY the password, submitted it as a batch job, console notified me, entered the pw, success RC=0 - Now no password Tried using RPF 3.2 again - works like a charm – same with ALLOC. Is there some secret to entering the password interactively? Is something wrong with my build of MVS? And I just insane? I would like to put the password back but I also need for things like ind$file to be able to enter it at a TSO prompt and have it accepted. I assume most of you all use a Master Catalog password but no hits googling this issue, so that means I am doing something wrong, but what? Thanks, Dave – N8ZFM

Hello Right now I am using the below statement to define one OSA devices 0400.3 OSA CHPID F0 iface 192.168.1.2 ipaddr 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 If i want second OSA devices defined then how do I code ? Can I just repeat this line with another IP address for secondary OSA ? What the best way to get second osa device defined for the hercules ? Jake

Hello Is it possible to run ICSF in hercules ? What changes need to be made in CNF to support running ICSF ? Jake.

Hello. Java applications are VERY VERY slow on "Hercules / z/OS". The same application takes 1 second on Linux but minutes on "Hercules / z/OS"... Causing timeouts... I know that Hercules is an Emulator... But, is-there a way to improve Java performances when used under Hercules / z/OS ? Thanks for your help. Patrick

I would like to obtain a copy for my home usage, of Wally’s ISPF clone, I tried a direct e-mail to Wally but possibly I have his address wrong, I have not heard back so am trying here. My reading of the archive of email here indicates he would like to be the only one that distributes the software and I wish to respect his wishes. Maybe this message will reach him, or someone here can direct me to a better way to reach out. As quite a few of us here are more advanced in the journey of life, I hope he is doing well. I am using a Jay Mosley designed MVS 3.8j system, because I enjoyed the learning of doing it myself (well – with his expect guidance and instructions) and then installing all of the applications, myself, rather than using a pre-generated system like TK4 or 5, which of course has all of this already. Sense of accomplishment and all – as well as educational. And it has been very educational. RPF and RFE from Rob is excellent and I appreciate his contribution. Thanks, David Trainor – dave@...

Hi Rob, Then you should be able to make that 51.5 at that time. :) Review 51.5 includes enhancements to the previously undocumented HI COBOL. Cheers, Greg

Hi, Just to announce that the subject release is now available from https://www.prycroft6.com.au/REVIEW/index.html and https://www.prycroft6.com.au/vs2sw/index.html#review Main changes pertain to formatting improvements for binary integers and hexadecimal floating point in FORMAT ON (which uses the REVFMTS DD) and ZOOM displays.

when running ./mvs with or without sudo I get the following error. mvs_ipl: line 57: 5577 Illegal instruction (core dumped) $force_arch hercules $DAEMON -f conf/tk5.cnf > log/3033.log log contains no data, this could very well be something I'm doing wrong, but I'm not sure what as I'm following the only installation instructions I can find.

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: https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/tk5 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

Dear all, I'm trying to unzip some of the .ZIP files on the TK5 system but with no success. Does somebody have a working sample how this can be done successfully. Many thanks in advance. Silvio

I've been playing with a SORT job to stress test my system. It sorts 99,999,999 random 80 byte records. The job works just fine if I am running with 1 CPU. Run MVS with 2 CPUs and it typically locks up, clocks, and sometimes I have to clear SYS1.LOGREC after an IPL. As far as I have read, MVS 3.8j ought to work fine with 2 CPUs but I've verified this enough to know that I can reliably reproduce the issue. If anyone has any ideas and would like me to produce some debug data to sift through, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll run MVS with 1 CPU.

How do the values of REGION JCL paramater and the SORT parameter MAIN relate to one another. I suspect that REGION might need to be a bit larger than MAIN, but I cannot find any specific explanation. I'm playing around with a SORT of 99,999,999 randomly generated records. To get things work, I set the REGION to 2048K and MAIN to 1984K. The SORT works, but I'd like to be able to come up with the required values more scientifically. Running TK5/Update 3
