Dave and Mark, VMFPLC2 sounds?like a good method.

I have the files on a minidisk on my VM, and can create a "tape" using VMFPLC2, and then commit that. The Hercules/Fish vmfplc2 command will process it.

Does that work?? If so, then I will also tidy Dave's latest files, upload those as commits to GitHub vm370, and places them on the "tape."

I can tidy those up. A couple of days to do so.

I see Dave's and my help files. If we are the only submitters, then you have them all.
If you got files from someone else, somewhere else, then those need to be added.

Yes, they can, but need to be done in reverse order.

The assembler code requires macros from SCHMAC MACLIB, which I have added to WAKEUP VMARC, so if you don't see the MACLIB with VMARC LIST, then ensure you have? the most recent copy of the file.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Absolument magnifique! Absolutely wonderful!

That did the trick.

Drew,

Thank you for the suggestion. That occurred to me as well. I have been logged on to the VM/SP 5 system as a guest a couple of times to test my memory, as well as some code. I use x3270 all the time on my Linux system to connect to my MVS and VM/370 systems.

The problem I have at the moment, is the file has an LRECL 1024, RECFM F does not work with IND$FILE, as it only supports a max LRECL of 255. Therefore, I can not download the file from my VM/370 system. So I am working on using the Hercules version of vmfplc2, to extract the file from "tape" and then I can see if the VM/SP 5 version of IND$FILE allows an LRECL 1024.

Ah, the wonders of technology ... I wonder why I am trying to use this technology :-D
