Hello Joe, Yes; but by CP (DMK) not aCMS program. I say this because diag 8 from a virtual system is for issuing CP command. Inside DMK/CP a diag 8 would go to Hercules. Bert

Joe & Bob DIAG is a privileged instruction. CMS machines always run in problem state, so when they try and execute a Diagnose instruction they don¡¯t¡ Dave Sent: 19 November 2022 17:45 To:

Re: Can a VM machine ...
Bob, Yes, it was my understanding a virtual machine can't talk to Hercules directly. What might be possible would be to add a new Diagnose instruction (say X'FFC' so as to not interfere with z/VM.

Re: Can a VM machine ...
Gentles, That is why we have Hercules cp mod 10, the HCP command which allows a user ask CP to issue a DIAG 8 on the hardware it thinks it is running on. For many on here this will be Hercules, but if

Re: Can a VM machine ...
CMS (and other virtual machines) use Diagnose 8 to pass CP commands to CP for execution. Would those start going to Hercules instead? If so, that could cause some delightful explosions!! Bo Bolch

Re: Can a VM machine ...
Hello Joe, I can see how VM, itself, can talk to Hercule via Diag 8, but how would a guest OS or CMS program? Wouldn't a Diag 8 in a virtual machine go to VM as a CP command instead of to Hercules.
