Re: Additional Help Files
开云体育Mark, ? As far as I can see MECAFF won’t let you have two FSLISTs active. The FSLIST list is not part of the ring. You can re-type an FSLIST command from the EE command line but when you re-enter EE you loose position in the list. That’s not the case with GCIC…. … I also believe that there are bugs in the file transfer module on MECAFF and you can’t do file transfers from FSLIST…. ? Dave ? ?

Re: Additional Help Files
开云体育Mark ? Firstly, I don’t think any one ever changes the passwords supplied. So I am pretty sure I can logon to most machines as “maint” and “cpcms” and be in total charge. You should, I would have thought, be able to copy the users file to your “A” disk and edit it so you have a unique password but that doesn’t seem to work… … also I assume you don’t pass port 3270 through your firewall.? I think it is what it is. Probably not worth spending time on, but possibly worth keeping. ? Dave ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mark A. Stevens via groups.io

For new users this would be the tricky part, if they have not used DIAL ("Don't you wish everybody did?") #CP, nor CP DISCONN, nor LOGOFF will get you out of the session.

Re: Unable to complete install of Z/VM 6.4 Disabled wait 0902
开云体育Hi Gary,
what you get looks like a HCP902W which
is an I/O error from your installation resource during ipl when
recovering a system.
So one of your dasds is probably
unreadable.
We had that on a real iron too and we
had to replace a dasd as it did not go away with another attempt
to IPL the system.
Turned out to be a damaged dasd.
Out of curiosity:
You are using Hyperion to emulate a
z/13 to install a z/VM system.
Where did you get the installation
resources?
Or are you running a real iron as well
and are using the installation resource to clone the z/13 on an
emulator?

HELP & FSHELP
开云体育Gentles, OK, having looked at this I can now see why things work the way they do and I am not sure how to fix things! So the format of the “EDIT” command is:- ? “HELP command <topic> (BRIEF|ALL|MORE” ? This allows there to be multiple help files with the same name for different environments. ?So for example “CHANGE” exists as both an EDIT and a CP command. ? HELP CHANGE ? Produces the CP help, ? HELP EDIT CHANGE ? Produces the help for the EDIT change command. ? FSHELP does not have the <topic> argument so whilst it lists the “CHANGE” command as an EDIT sub-topic when you do FSHELP, it cannot display this file. FSHELP CHANGE EDIT produces help for the CP CHANGE command, FSHELP EDIT CHANGE just gives the general EDIT help. ? I believe FSEDIT is set up this way so that the F2 navigate to another command works. It simply looks for “FSHELP <word> and a proper fix would need FSHELP to know which environment its working with. ? I guess a temporary fix is to my hack is to amend EDIT so when it calls FSEHLP it only passes the “<topic>” if two arguments are passed? Also add a (NOSCREEN option to allow the “hidden” topics to be displayed? ? Dave ? ?
