Re: Another Time Zone Question (Sorta)
Jim,
SYSID was added to Sixpack 1.2 via a patch (HRC108DK) and of course is carried forward into VM/CE.? The internals of the change are documented in HRC108DK MEMO.?? Thus, you won't see it in any VM/370 documentation published by IBM.?? Later, SYSID appeared in VM/SP.
If you need to know how to use it or need examples, please ask.? I am not the author of this modification but I do use it and it works perfectly.
Regards,
Bob

Re: Another Time Zone Question (Sorta)
Bob, You certainly verified my thinking as that¡¯s the way I did it many years ago. I noticed there were a lot of changes to DMKSYS that were not made via AUX files so I was a little confused. There is no ¡°original¡± IBM files so that not an issue. In fact, the manual I¡¯m using doesn¡¯t even have the SYSID macro defined.?
As for keeping track of any changes, I always did that manually as well. Thanks for your input.?

Re: Where can I learn how CMS is different ...
Matthew, Like many other enhancements DIAG58 arrived in the VM/370 extensions packages, SEPP and/or BSEPP as confirmed by ?
? which lists it as a feature included from BSEPP.? So it was available prior to VM/SP but only as a paid-for addition. There was also the EDGAR full screen editor which again was a separate product and which made use of DIAG58. I don¡¯t think it survives. I see VM/SP1 ?and SP2 had EDGAR compatibility code in XEDIT which was removed in SP3¡ ?

#VMCE #rexx EE goes XEDIT - compiling a wish list
#VMCE
#rexx
I am using XEDIT and its clones since VM/SP Release 1 up to today ... and counting. EE is great work by Dr. Hans-Walter Latz, but I miss a lot of features that XEDIT and KEDIT have. I have done massive extensions to EE to make it more XEDIT-compatible. A common infrastructure already exists for the SET / QUERY / EXTRACT / MODIFY / TRANSFER subcommands. Actually I am researching how EE could integrate with bREXX.
Having a macro capability powered by REXX is my first wish. The ingredients for the ALL macro will follow (SET SELECT, SET DISPLAY ...).
Do you think it is desirable and feasable to have a decent subset of XEDIT as part of VM/370 CE ?

Re: Another Time Zone Question (Sorta)
I have vague memories of needing to regen CP twice a year under VM/SP HPO 5 because you couldn't dynamically change the timezone.? We'd go in to IPL at 2 or 3 AM with the new nucleus just to change the timezone.? Fun.? Actually, since I was in college at the time, it *WAS* fun.?
I definitely remember writing a CP command to change the *virtual machine* timezone under VM/ESA in the early 90s.? I suspect if you wanted to roll up your sleeves you could rather easily implement a CP SET TIMEZONE command under VM/370 because the data should be easy to overwrite in the nucleus.? However, I don't have a good feel for what that would do to a timer that spans the reset boundary -- if the system clock is in universal time and any timer deadlines are also in universal time it should be fairly safe (which is how I *think* it works).

It also appears I need to create a file named 'LCLnnnDK MEMO E' which contains a lengthier description of the modification.? Finally, I assume another file is to be created named 'DMKSYS LCLnnnDK E' that contains:
,/ R 00220000 $ 00220000 1? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?mm/dd/yy? hh:mm:ss
? ? ? ? ?SYSTIME ZONE=5,LOC=WEST,ID=EDT? ? ? ? ?LCLnnnDK
I'm guessing on the replace statement, I'm sure there's an IBM manual that describes how to code these update statements.?
After all is done I simply - VMFASM DMKSYS DMKLCL
- CP SPOOL PUN *
- CP SPOOL PRT *
- VMFLOAD CPLOAD DMKLCL
- ORDER READER nnnn (for IPL deck)
- IPL 00C CLEAR
- CLOSE RDR
- ORDER RDR nnnn (for print file)
- READCARD CPLOAD MAP?
- LOGOFF
- Re-IPL.
So, that's where I am.? I hope somebody can correct my assumptions and put me on the path to righteousness. (LOL)
PS - Can I have two SYSTIME statements, one for EST and one for EDT?? Is the alternative to rebuild CP each time change?

Re: Another Time Zone Question (Sorta)
Jim, ? As the intention is that the ¡°E¡± disk is for user mods you can use what you like for ¡°nnn¡± and ¡°xxx¡± and you only need a memo in case you forget. Depending on which CE you are using HELP UPDATE or FSHELP UPDATE should get help on the statements. I think your commands are right, I couldn¡¯t sleep, so it¡¯s the middle of the night. You only get one time zone. ? Dave ? ? ?

The earliest manual I could find is this one:

I made the mistake to alter the subject of this topic, but then groups.io made a new topic of this.
I recreated my post and deleted the unwanted, but of course I could not recall mail.
