This group is for all folks running the original IBM VM/370 Release 6 operating system (or later (e.g. VMTCE (Community Edition)) on Hercules. Like the other early IBM operating systems this version has always been in the public domain and so can be freely distributed. The base version as supplied by IBM is lacking in many facilities. IBM solved this by providing additional extension products which were licensed and so are not available. There are however many user enhancements available which can be installed. In addition, in order to get users up and running quickly updated "releases" of VM/370 included the most popular updates are available for download, so novices can start to learn VM without having to delve into the system internals. It is intended that this wiki will provide information on the base release and these updates.
The available versions are here :-

Today is not my day to be programming REXX, it seems. Another REXX question. If I quote a label, it fails. If I don't use quotes, it works, regardless of whether the label is lowercase, or uppercase.

It is a lot of legwork to implement all the XEDIT subcommands and EXTRACT options. You can help me a lot by playing with the beast and tell me which XEDIT subcommands and EXTRACT options are needed

Well later on we did it with the AEA option in a 3174. I have no idea of how it would've been done back then. I'd sure like to know. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
