It seems we do not have LABELDEF on VM/370 Rel 6, or the CE versions. So I'm going to guess it is not on earlier versions like 4-pack or 6-pack. Anyone have a clue if it was a PTF/enhancement or whatever? Thanks! ... Mark S.

Hi, I've been reading various manuals on the CPEREP command. I still have yet to figure out how to clear my EREP data (let alone figure out why my EREP area is full already). I guess I'm wondering: 1) How do I clear my EREP area? 2) How do I figure out what is causing my EREP area to fill up so quickly? 3) How do I expand the EREP area? As for the manuals, I find searching a nice feature, BUT I find the digital books are so SLOW in moving around. I remember physical books were so much faster in going to specific areas or speed reading to find the useful and/or good parts. Well just my opinion (of course digital books save trees and the environment). Bertram / WB8ERT

Pro Tip: Don't add a typewriter console to DMKRIO and then tell Hercules that device address is a card reader. The combination sent a VM SIXPACK system from 1% host CPU to 100% host CPU, and internally had CP LOAD IND showing 79% CPU utilization without CPWATCH showing any users busy. I was using the default DMKRIO for the SIXPACK systems and my default (included) configuration for for S/370 hosts. Hence the incompatibility. -ahd-

Why should we need to change DMKSYS depending on where we want the nucleus loaded and IPL'd?? The whole idea of "alternate nucleus" is to be able to test a new prod nucleus and be able to fall back if it fails. Another important concept is to be able to place exactly the same code in production that was previously tested WITHOUT ANY ALTERATIONS. IF you look at the code updates suggested in Melinda Varian's "What Mother Never Told You..." document, you will see that the idea is to simply separate the IPL volume as being different than the SYSRES volume... the nuc load deck would still be used to load onto the same cuu/cyl as specified in DMKSYS The latest version of "alt nuc" that I implemented in 199x? (HPO, SEPP??) also made the cyl location definable by volid. I think it not ok to have primary and alt nucs needing separate dmksys content cheers William

Maybe I am having a senior moment but I don't see a good way of running the DIRECT command from MAINT on VM370CE.. The active directory does not seem to have any full-pack minidisks to map the system owned volumes. Am I expected to just use the standalone IPL DIR from 1st level? Now that I think about it, I think this makes it not possible to load a new/updated CP nucleus as well Ideas? What did the CE designers have planned? cheers, William

Hello! Let us presuppose I have gotten a Hercules setup running the currently available release of the community edition of VM/370rle6. Not of course the two disk setup I normally run. What would be involved in having it reach out and connect to other similar systems, and even exchange messages, in the same way we send email to each other, and also files. And to do so on a routine basis. This is an interesting concept, but it will be a difficult one to properly grok. Now why is an unhappy Yeti doing outside a McDonalds in a corner of a town that's a suburb of Pittsburgh. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@... "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

It's been ages since I debugged a user program in CMS, and I'm stumbling over things I used to remember, so I have a few questions for anyone who's got something to offer. I have a program that has multiple SD entries, and the addresses start at X'020000' and go up. The programs were separately compiled so the displacements shown in the listings are for that particular routine->text deck->module. That is ... a module that loads at 275F0, and the instruction I want to look at is X'0A' (10 decimal) bytes in, I want to X 275FA 8, to see the code in memory, -OR- if I have defined the ORIGIN 02000, then I have to remember to really use X 075FA 8. I can DEFINE addresses to stop at, and use BREAK to stop execution to look at the GPR and X or DUMP memory, and GO from there. These I usually remember what I have set ORIGIN to, so the BREAKs stop at the right instruction. What I seem to keep tripping over is the use of ORIGIN. I know if it gets set to say, 020000, that value is added to the addresses I use in DEFINEs, or in X or DUMP commands. This is all well and good, until I forget, while looking at a listing to which I have written down the absolute address (the sum of the SD entry and the listing's displacement) to a command or data area. Then it becomes a game of addition and subtraction in hexadecimal, which isn't fun, yet. SO ... when you are debugging, do you actually make use of ORIGIN, or not? At X'000000' or X'020000' or ...? Do you change it as you work through your program, or leave it alone? If you change it, do you have it set to the SD value of the routine you are examining? Or should I bias my paper calculations, as I refer to my listings? Thanks for your help. ... Mark S.

Hello, I'm needing a manual for 5664-167, 'CP System Command Reference SC24-5402', - OR - a solution. I stumbled upon a process to rebuild CP and was successful in assembling DMKSYS and DMKRIO using 'VMFFASM DMKxxx 5664167E' followed by 'VMFBLD 5664167E' (CP). I added two modules to MAINT's 190 disk and now I'm getting the ''shared S-stat message' logging on to CMSUSER. If I issue 'VMFBLD 5664167E' (CMS) I get . . .

Hello, Several college and other friends are looking to bring back the glory (old men) days, when VM/370 R6 PLC 29 brought us together (and later VM/SP). To this end, I'm looking for those who have experience in bringing people across the world together using VM/CE and Hercules. The methods I can see are: Extend printers to their computer and local printers. Thought is the HercPRT program. Connect systems using CTCA (would the HercCTCI program work?). Isn't there a program to connect two systems for login purposes? Instead of using WC3270 (or similar)? Connect remote printers, punches, card reader, etc., via RSCS. How would this work today, though? When I was a SysAdmin, we used real devices, but now? Is there an auto tape mount feature? Method to access an AWS file on another system (e.g. in the UK) as a tape om the local system? Other things that goes into working remotely as a team using VM? Thank you, Bertram Moshier WB8ERT Kids today have no idea of all you can do with 50+ year old operating systems or software! Hopefully - some day - we can get TCP/IP with apps (OSI seven layers) on our VM. Also get it to 31-bit.

Hello, I am looking for a method (Rexx script in Hercules?) to start VM/CE in an unattended mode. Unfirtunately, Windows will restart on its own not respecting that Hercules and VM/CE are runnung. The situation is I am making my system available to friends around the world, They will be using WC3270 (or similar) to connect and log into their account(s) on my VM/CE system. The problem is Windows restarts without giving Hercules and its operating systems a chance to shutdown properly. I don't want to have my friends waiting till I come and type in the spool file disposition (e.g., CKPT, COLD, FORCE,etc.). I'm wondering is it possible to have REXX in Hercules handle this situation? (Look at VM's message and input a response till VM starts.) If yes, how? Thank you, Bertram Moshier WB8ERT

On VM/CE 1.2, why does the AUTOLOG1 191 disk have a PROFILE AUTOEXEC and a PROFILE EXEC. It looks like the former is a abbreviated one?

Hello everyone, Is it possible to determine the correct email address of a member from a message sent by the member? I'm wanting to email someone, but my attempts have all bounced back. He is active, as he posted recently. Thank you in advance, Bertram Moshier WB8ERT

I am doing back up & migration of the LCM+L VM/SP 5 image. To insure the image is clean, I have shutdown the machine for the weekend. -ahd- p.s. The usual disclaimer: I do not work for the LCM+L and do not speak for them.

I downloaded the ctcisample.zip. Tried to compile under VM and making a couple of corrections it compiled. Does anyone have sample code using ctci under VM370. This is a learning task for me. Thank you for any help. cheers /tom c

Hi folks. Under VM/ESA, is there a way to effectively do a "disable <addr>" at IPL time? I was thinking of putting it in OPERATOR's profile exec, but I have a feeling that there should be a cleaner way. I'm trying to disable a 3270-attached printer, if that matters, but I think it shouldn't. Also, I am trying to start RSCS from autolg exec. This seems simple enough, and the entry was already there in the distribution, just commented out, so it seems plausible to start it that way. But when I do, it refuses messages sent by smsg, saying "RSCS not receiving, SMSG off". But after that, if I "FORCE RSCS" and then "XAUTOLOG RSCS", it comes up fine. What gives? I hope someone can point me in the right direction; I think I'm missing something simple in both of these issues. Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

(specifically VM/ESA) Can anyone shed some light on what it takes to get VMS to be able to print to a 3270-connected printer, say a 3287? I failed around the help panels for a while today and I don't think I got very close. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Recently I joined this group, and read about SAA defunct, and OS/2 implementation, etc. (somewhat off-topic) I seem to remember that around 1994 I got involved in the then-new SAP R/3. It struck me that client/server communication errors were labeled CPICnnn, hinting at the Common Programming Interface for Commmunication, a part of SAA I knew from the late eighties. The user screen layout seemed very much to adhere tot CUA guidelines, another part of SAA. By 2005 these characteristics were still there in SAP, might even survive today. OS/2 was gone by 2005 ;-( To conclude: there was/is an SAA aplication: it's called SAP. As a software archaeotect I like to recover these things while being retired.
