RXSYSFN for VM/370

Ross Patterson All Messages By This Member #6317 I've just updated ?with the results of my work to create a Rexx system-level function package for the various VM/370 R6s.? I have specifically tested it with both bREXX 1.0.1 (as shipped in VM/370 CE 1.1) and the first beta of bREXX 1.1.0 (as I announced last month).? In combination with a small change to the bREXX DATE() function (to add BASEDATE), this brings bREXX fully up to the Rexx 3.40 level (with considerable additional function from higher levels). This package provides the DIAG() and DIAGRC() functions that VM/SP (and later) had, with the exception of C8 and CC (because VM/370 CP doesn't have those DIAGnoses). I intend to package this for inclusion in the next release of VM/370 CE, but it should work on any VM/370 system that can already run bREXX 1.0.1.? If you want to use it before that, or with another VM/370 system, you can download the ZIPped VMARC file from the GitHub issue.? It contains the full source and MODULE, including a few CMS macro changes that were necessary (and which are teed up for the next VM/370 CE release). Ross

We lost the person who built the last version, so there is a bit of a void, but I think we are getting to the stage where there is enough new stuff for another release. I was waiting for EE to get to a stable state before plugging ahead....

We lost the person who built the last version, so there is a bit of a void It might help future releases if the person who leads this one puts together a checklist of the tasks that go into releasing VM/370.? As a newcomer to retrocomputing, I know I lost quite a bit of time to the fact that the GCCLIB DCSS hadn't been saved in VM/370 CE 1.2. ?(I'm not complaining, just noting it as something even long-time VMers like me wouldn't know to do.) but I think we are getting to the stage where there is enough new stuff for another release. I'm going to sign out a bunch of CMS update numbers, and package the fixes I've posted to the GitHub issue tracker, so they can get into the next release.? And for my RXSYSFN as well. I was waiting for EE to get to a stable state before plugging ahead.... I'll be off the grid for the next few weeks, but I expect to release a second beta of bREXX 1.1.0 before EOY, or possibly even Christmas.? There has been one reported bug against the first beta, and in fixing it, I found another related to it - both side effects of supporting the FAILURE condition, but only affecting the TRACE facility.? Absent complex bugs, bREXX will be ready before the end of January. Ross
