Whilst folks have written a screen mode editor and installed a portable REXX on VM//370 they don¡¯t interact in the same way that XEDIT and REXX do on VM/SP which means many things don¡¯t work.
A short VM/SP history summary: - VM/SP 1 (I think, I didn't show up until VM/SP 3).
- VM/SP 3
- VM/SP 4
- GCS
- DIAG x'8C' (querying your console display size)?
- VM/SP 5
- VM/SP 6
Thus, the LCM+L 4361 running VM/SP 5 has all of the above except SFS. I think the primary reason for GCS's existence was to support running VTAM natively on VM/SP; previously it had to be in a guest machine such as VS/1.
By VM/SP 4 IBM had a revised version of the RSCS Program Product running under GCS.? It also had TCP/IP (running on CMS). The 4361 doesn't have either installed (they do have the media) because of a lack of the associated hardware. -ahd- p.s. Insert my usual disclaimer: I do not work for and not speak for the LCM+L.
