Re: VM/370 CE - Editing an APL function
Yes, by entering BEGIN you return to the APL session but the line to be deleted is sitll here.

Re: VM/370 CE - Editing an APL function
Marco, I suspect the book was written before 3270 terminals existed, so not sure how to delete a line. Whenever you get a CP read “BEGIN” will try to restart your program. Dave ?

I have these problems:
1) is carrier return some 2741 key that PCOMM 3270 emulator doesn't have, or is carrier return to be intended as carriage return?

Re: Have a working storage under VM/370
Done the TK5 update 3 under VM/370 (and also via the help here : /g/h390-vm/topic/mvs_under_vm_370_and_3390/102804041?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,20,2,0,102804041,previd%3D1701232831135968515,nextid%3D1683996992282281024&previd=1701232831135968515&nextid=1683996992282281024)
It is a bit slow cf with the native version, but given more memory 12M instead of 8M, it is workable.? Just not easy to find things e.g. where is the syslog etc.? Time to learn more.
For the docker issue I raised, rvjansen approach via the image way is a good way like snapshot.? ?
Before I further attempt there, I note that seems to have another strategy to the issue :??i.e. somehow use permanent files redirection (I guess; need more knowledge about Docker).? I will investigate both of these but my priority now is trying now to bring up VSE, given so far VM/CMS, MVS 3.8 TK5 update 3 all good.? Very nice week; never thought I will or can run VM.?
And thanks for forcing me to look back to run the "real" non-docker VM370 first.??

Re: Have a working storage under VM/370
Apology for troubling you all guys.
Finally getting my real (non-docker) vm 370 to work.? It saved the file.
I did try to install vm370 for a while but only successful last few days using Docker and enjoy very much the CMS process (compared with my old ISPF ...).? (But once you master a bit and learn a bit of VM/370 it seems it helped a lot.).?
I think you are right to point out that it is very likely the commit issue.? Spending me a few days totally forget this need to commit.? That meant a few changes to the throw as once quit it will auto logout of the docker ...?I will test it later.?
Currently have a bigger mountain to climb I guess - runnning VSE and MVS on the newly minted VM 370.? I supported these two starting from 1989 June 5, not a nice day to start may I say.??
Apology once again.? Sorry.

Re: Have a working storage under VM/370
well, we can try to support running in Docker (a bit).
So please tell me you are persisting the container after you stop it, to a new image. Otherwise, you will start a new container from the old image, and that will contain the unchanged disk images.
You need to do something like (showing you with my netrexx s/390x image):
? ?test git:(master) ? docker run -it rvjansen/netrexx WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/s390x) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested root@6ffb982a8a2d:~# ls root@6ffb982a8a2d:~# nrc Usage: /bin/NetRexxC.sh [-run] [other options] filename
*** WARNING *** Ambiguous z/Architecture detection! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? oldest detected generation is system-z, g6-ec12, ldisp_fast, extimm, pcrel_load/store, cmpb, cond_load/store, interlocked_update, txm NetRexx portable processor 4.05-alpha build 196-20221110-1459 Copyright (c) RexxLA, 2011,2022. ? All rights reserved. Parts Copyright (c) IBM Corporation, 1995,2008.
Arguments are: in_file_specification... [-option]...
Use "--help" to show all options root@6ffb982a8a2d:~# exit exit
Never mind the warnings, did not see them before but that is not the point here.
What is the point, is that after you exit, you need to persist the container image with 'docker commit'
? ?test git:(master) ? docker commit 6ffb982a8a2d sha256:929e7bcda67826e4011cbf3c636c612eb8339205327f14072ed7d3cb14051c89
And the, you can rename the persisted container image for use the next time:
? ?test git:(master) ? docker tag 929e7bcda67826e4011cbf3c636c612eb8339205327f14072ed7d3cb14051c89 rvjansen/netrexx
The greater good here is that if you messed up something, you can just choose not to persist the image and restart with an unchanged one - no real need for shadow files in a container.
Let us know if that was the problem!
best regards,
René Jansen.

More a MVS/VSE/DB2 guy and have been doing some COBOL/Assemble/FORTRAN over MVS 3.8j.
3 days ago now I discovered I can run VM/370 easily under Docker (never able to install one under Macos/Windows/Linux), both sixpack and CE version.
Last 2 days I can run the wikipedia HERON (based on the source code here) plus some advise about the library etc. All goods, and even can add some EXEC file etc. except ...
everytime I shutdown the CP and then quit the hercules, all goes into smoke, both cmsuser and maint USER.??
I looked at the docker internal and find this vm370ce.conf (and are those disk ro meant read-only)

Re: How do I report a bug in VMCE?
Bertram, ? OK so I have looked further at this. There are two things that influence how the terminal behaves. There is the System Operator which is defined in DMKSYS and the system console which is defined in DMKRIO. On a quick checking the base VM/370 behaves in a similar way to VM/CE, so its working as IBM supplied it. I need to do more checking but even if I do find its different, it is not something I would rush to fix. Its low impact, and in a tricky area of code. No one is paid to fix it, we rely on someone wanting to fix it. ? Dave ?

What is the issue exactly? Because, on VM/370 CE, I can use cp define storage fine on the OPERATOR virtual machine: CP executes the command and the virtual storage is changed accordingly. Just remember that OPERATOR has the same privilege classes? as MAINT so, on OPERATOR, query storage will show the real storage defined in DMKSYS, while query virtual storage will show the virtual storage set by cp define storage.

I followed the steps you indicated and I do observe the same behaviour as you. But that seems to come from the fact that the virtual machine is in TERM MODE VM (because of a command to that effect in PROFILE EXEC). If you set TERM MOD CP just before the define storage, you will be able to ipl CMS fine just afterwards. Now, should the virtual machine behave like that in TERM MODE VM or not, I don't know.
