bREXX does not even start and you can use a dummy file (only "/* inside) to get this bug.

I have identifiedthe same bug in CMS BREXX and it's parsing of command line arguments, and the problem is recorded here ...


I Hope This Helps

I have run into a bug that a CMS EXEC in REXX cannot have many blank-delimited arguments,
bREXX does not even start. The string "CvG" is arbitrary.

See .

You can use a dummy file (only "/*" inside) to get this bug.
See the examples below with 7, 8 and 9 arguments.

Is this designed to run on MS Windows?
Do I need ooRexx, Regina, or other distribution of Rexx?

It is one single REXX source file that detects its environment and acts accordingly.

It is stlil Work In Progress, but test results are very promising.

I have tested it successfully on following platforms:
? EBCDIC side
??? VM/370 CE - CMS with bREXX
? ASCII side
??? KEDIT for Windows (Windows 10 GUI)
?? THE (The Hessling Editor) (Windows 10 TUI)
?? REXX-Regina standalone (Windows 10 TUI)
?? REXX-ooRexx standalone (Windows 10 TUI)

Since a CMS version has shown to be feasable, it is not necessary any more to have REXX available on the ASCII side.

Actually i have run into a bug that a CMS EXEC in REXX cannot have many blank-delimited arguments,

i am still researching this before posting an issue on Github. The string "CvG" is arbitrary.

Mike,

Were you able to determine if the bug exists in the MVS version of BREXX? Did I miss that answer?

Bob,

You built a debugging version of BREXX for VM/370 CE, but I haven't figured out how to use it/turn it on, to see what is going on in the VM/370 version.

I can share some code for parsing the command line for filenames, if that would help.

?... Mark S.

Work In Progress: support for CMS, first successful tests. Generated tables are almost identical, files differ in minor things. This means it is not necessary any more to have REXX available on the ASCII side.

See Screenhot.

How to use it ?
?1) Make sure that Hercules "codepage 819/1047" is in effect
?2) Make sure that "DEFAULT IND$MAP A" is empty (comments only)
?3) Use IND$FILE to transfer "EBCDIC MEMO Y" from CMS to the ASCII side
?4) Transfer back to CMS this very file by reader or tape, set "codepage 819/1047" where needed
?5) Remove unwanted header lines (if any) and save file to "EBCDIC MEMO A1"
?6) Run "INDMAP EXEC", output is written to "EBCDIC IND$MAP A1"

This preliminary version does not process command line arguments yet, file names are fixed:
?input 1 = "EBCDIC MEMO Y"
?input 2 = "EBCDIC MEMO A"
?output = "EBCDIC IND$MAP A1"
No other code pages than 819/1047 are supported now.

Would you consider making it work with “Thomas Hessling Editor” (THE)?

Are some bytes mistranslated? Which 3270 emulator are you using??

I am using the ZOC terminal emulator (https://www.emtec.com/zoc/features.html) for TN3270, EBCDIC code page 1047 is selected.

Forgive me for the slight off-subject posting, but would like to remind people (in case anyone wasn't aware) that transferring files between a Hercules guest and host can also be accomplished via the Hercules "vmfplc2" utility, which supports using any of Hercules's pre-defined code pages ().

Use Herc's vmfplc2 utility to create your tape, attach it to Herc, and issue a few simple CMS commands and VOILA!

Going the other direction (guest --> host) is just as easy: attach tape to CMS user, DUMP, DETACH, and then on your host: vmfplc2.exe LOAD...

Oh sure, it might be *slightly* more complicated than IND$FILE, but it completely eliminates the code page issue.

AND, you can certainly "upload" or "download" (transfer) *huge* amounts of data very, VERY quickly, since you're just reading/writing [emulated] magnetic tape after all (which is *very* fast on Hercules).


Example:

From your host:

vmfplc2.exe DUMP -t -c 819/1047 C:\..(whatever)..\fishtest.ctl C:\..(whatever)..\fishtest.aws

(fishtest.ctl):

MYPROG ASSEMBLE A Fixed 80 Textual "C:\..(whatever)..\myprogram.asm"


From Hercules:

attach devnum 3420 fishtest.aws


From your CMS userid:

ATTACH devnum TO * AS 181
LOAD
DETACH 181
EDIT MYPROG ASSEMBLE A


VMFPLC2 usage instructions:




Just wanted to pass that along to anyone who wasn't familiar with it.


<shameless plug>

PLUS, on Windows, my HercGUI product, with its fill-in-the-blanks dialogs, makes using VMFPLC2 fast and easy too! :)
