As an exercise for the reader, write a generic HYPER (Hypervisor) command which issued a Diag x'08' from CP to Hercules.? Make it class C or B.? You then need to enable the appropriate Hercules options as others have noted.
Bonus points if you get it added to the six pack distribution.? ;-)?

p.s. I actually did this ¡ for my second level development system ¡ contracting at Kingston in 1988 ¡ on VM/XA.? That was long ago and far away; the building (025) doesn't even exist any more.??
