ESA is a newer architecture than VM/370 was designed to handle -
it uses 31-bit addressing where VM/370 is from the older 24-bit
addressing era.
I believe the matching OS of the 370 era would have been DOS/VS
and there is support in place for running that under CE.

I would like to congratulate with the group because of the
great work around the VM/370 CE 1.2. I was in the 70-80s a
system programmer in VSE but never approached VM seriously.
The 6 pack run smoothly with last version of Hercules, I
struggled because I shut down VM abruptly and didn't understand
at first glance that it needed a manual CKPT in the next run,
after that I was able to use EE, a great FSE using all the IBM
standards I'm used to. I read some manual but the posts on the
group helped very much to overcome the troubles.?
I was able to write, compile and run an asm program from
VM/370 Quick guide for users,? which is an excellent manual to
start from scratch like me. Great, I'm thrilled!
Some questions now:
1. is there in VM/370 an assembler macro to equate registers?
If not where may I create my own one?
2. Is it possible to run VSE/ESA under VM/370? I guess the
answer is no because the first come out many years after the
second one
Thank you for the effort and help.?
Lucio Fassio.
