VM/370 new thrilling experience
#VMCE
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.?

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýESA 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.

Yes: REGEQU.? You can instruct the assembler how to find it by the GLOBAL MACLIB CMSLIB command.
No.? VSE/ESA will not run in an S/370 machine, and VM/370 will not create any other kind of virtual machine. Ross |
Actually, VSE/ESA version 1, like VM/ESA 370 Feature, had an ESA name but ran on 370. Even that probably wouldn't run on VM/CE, and wouldn't be licensed anyway. On Sat, Nov 9, 2024 at 5:25?PM Ross Patterson via <ross.patterson=[email protected]> wrote:

Thank you Ross! REGEQU worked like a charm, i didn't need to do anything, being logged in as CMSUSER, to get the macro compiled correctly. Now i'm looking at some video that promise to be interesting: VSAM on VM/370 KICKS! CICS for VM/370 I've a simple CICS application written in assembler command level and VSAM, it would be fun to have it run under VM/370. If anyone knows about samples or direct experience I'd be interested to listen to. Lucio, ? Il giorno dom 10 nov 2024 alle ore 00:25 Ross Patterson via <ross.patterson=[email protected]> ha scritto:
