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 :-

Re: Let's Talk About RSCS
Here's an update.? After extensive testing and numerous suggestions from others in the community, I think I have found an answer.
On the VM/RSCS side, you need to start the line with a buffer size

Re: Losing virt-real setup upon rebuilding the nucleus...can't it be prevented?
Aha ... that makes sense!
So... Would that mean that, whenever I run VMFLOAD VRLOAD DMKLCL , there should no longer need to re-run VRSIZE, as long as I moved the resulting DMKSLC TEXT A filo onto the

Re: Losing virt-real setup upon rebuilding the nucleus...can't it be prevented?
So... here's the deal
VMFLOAD is an EXEC that creates a "nucleus load deck". It takes its input from another EXEC that is a list of files to be concatenated into a single "punch" file. .

Re: Losing virt-real setup upon rebuilding the nucleus...can't it be prevented?
Hi, thank you for your help.
The fun thing is that, while I got it to work by switching from what I learn from documents to do:
VMFLOAD VRLOAD DMKHRC
to
VMFLOAD VRLOAD DMKLCL

when rebuilding the nucleus replace this:
?? vmfload *_cp_*load dmklcl
with this to maintain v=r:
?? vmfload _*vr*_load dmklcl

Hi folks.
After yet another adventure messing with DMK*** stuff (now I've been playing with DMKBOX out of curiosity from the last threads), I have realized that, always, whenever I rebuild the

I still can't punch jobs to MVS from VM for some reason but, in tests today, output routed from MVS to VM transfers with no I/O errors.? So far, I have routed jobs with various amounts of output,

Re: Let's Talk About RSCS
Hi Jeff:

I can send a short command or a short JCL from RSCS to JES. ?No problem
there. ?But when I send a larger job, maybe 20 lines, the IO

Re: Let's Talk About RSCS
Thanks for that pointer Mark...it is at least enlightening. ?Perhaps
someone else can better interpret the message, but to me it looks like
a read error on the JES2 side.

Re: Let's Talk About RSCS
The /*ROUTE RPINT RMT1 is intentional, to not crash the connection back
to the VM/RSCS side. Otherwise, we see the IO errors (which is what
I'm trying to resolve).

Re: Let's Talk About RSCS
IIRC when you submit from a remote station (VM, or RJE) and you want the output back to that station, you need the /*ROUTE as you specified, otherwise it will attempt to print on the "local" MVS

On the MVS side we have:

Re: Let's Talk About RSCS
If you'd like to save some of us from losing more hair ;-) would you share your hercules configuration lines for VM and for MVS?
I wasn't sure if I needed TCPNJE for both, either, or neither.
