Re: X3270 size
开云体育Hi Betram,
I am not using Windows, but the x3270
standard client under Linux to access our z/system as well as the
Hercules TK4 and all it takes is to use options and selection of
the 3270 model to get a specific size of the terminal and the
window of the client can be resized the usual way, thought the
lines x columns will stay the same,? in my system.
The x3270 client used in CentOS should
be available for Windows as well.
Maybe this is just your choice of
client.

Re: X3270 size
开云体育Bertram, Not sure which 3270 client you are using on Windows. I have been using the WC3270 in the CE edition. If I start terminals from a CMD window they seem to inherit the font size from that session. Dave ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bertram Moshier

Re: MONITOR Files
Hi Ralf, These can be read by various utilities that use DIAGNOSE X'14' to read spool files. One I came across somewhere is called RRMONDSK. This was designed for VM/SP I think but needed only a small tweak to make it work on VM/370. It was probably on the Waterloo mods tape or one of the VM Workshop tools tapes. Regards, Peter Coghlan. |

MONITOR Files
Hi all,
I'm new to VM/370 and wonder how the output of the CP MONITOR command, which is spooled to MAINT's reader, can be accessed. I found no way to READ, RECEIVE or SFBROWSE these specific files, getting error messages like "READER EMPTY OR NOT READY"? or? "SPOOL FILE xx DOES NOT EXIST OR HIS HELD" but "Q RDR" shows these files and they are definitely not in HOLD state. In z/VM seem to exist utilities like MONWRITE and? MONSCAN but how can this output be browsed? in VM/370?? Thanks for any hint Cheers Ralf? |

Re: REXX package in VM/370 Community Edition V1R1.2
Bob,
So far.... B2C fails B2D fails B2X works (Also native in brexx) CLOSE works Note that doc shows that close can't be called as a function. I was able to call close as a function, rc = CLOSE(infile) and received 0 as RETURN CODE. C2B fails D2B fails FSCLEAR works infile = 'FILETEST TEXT A' CALL OPEN infile Receives,,,, ???? 3 *-* CALL OPEN infile Error 40 running ft2, line 3: Incorrect call to routine FILETEST TEXT A is an existing file. I am very sick at the moment, but I hope to spend more time with this soon. Larry S |

Re: REXX package in VM/370 Community Edition V1R1.2
All the functions documented in the HELP REXXFUNC?MENU screen are implemented in the? RXUSERFN?MODULE or the RXLOCFN?MODULE with the source code on the MAINT 5E7 disk. When these functions?are used in your REXX program, REXX knows to look?in the function manager modules for these routines. The MODULEs are on the Y-disk, so there is nothing else to do to have them available.? Which of the functions return error 43? I would be glad to check into them.

Some of the documented functions work and some kick out an Error 43 Routine not found. Is there a process needed to load these functions? Any help or insight would be appreciated. Warmest Regards to all, Larry |

Re: Managing Host ID on VM370CE
The RSCS IDs on VMCE are there for future use. There is no code on the current VMCE release which uses them. Bob Bolch On Fri, Aug 25, 2023, 6:55 AM Matthew T. Kromer <zerohero0h@...> wrote:

Re: Managing Host ID on VM370CE
开云体育Matthew, You are correct the CPU serial isn’t critical, and is only used in couple of places in VM/CMS. In fact in the base VM/370R6 I don’t believe anything uses it. There are modifications in VM370CE which use it. One adds a SYSID macro to DMKSYS which allows you to specify multiple CPU serial numbers and system name pairs. There are then further modifications to examine this data and include it in banner pages and the bottom right of 3270 sessions. The SYSTEM NETID file does a similar job for CMS. The IDENTIFY command uses the CPU ID? to identify which line in this file applies and then reports system name and the ID of the RSCS virtual machine. ? On VM/SP its used by SENDFILE but I don’t think we have SENDFILE on CE. I assume its in two places because CP does not have access to, or even know, which disk CMS is going to use as the S-Disk. ?

Re: Managing Host ID on VM370CE
Thanks to all! :-)
- By one side, just in case someone google for this later, I confirm, that as pointed above, the following procedure does the trick! DEF STOR 16M IPL 190 SAVESYS CMS - And in the other side, I just noticed the point on the CPU serial number on hercules config... so I changed it (never did before) and noticed the Q CPUID command yelds the number now. I matched that number in DMKSYS ASSEMBLE but I'm not sure on the eventual consequences on such change in other parts of the system (I've learnt to not asume anything based on my experince on 'normal' computers), and/or conversly what could go wrong if someone just changes the CPU serial in hercules config but not DMKSYS ASSEMBLE (apparently, it all just works). I have still to figure out what NetID/NodeID refer to with absolute certainty... my understanding (which I know I can't trust under Mainframe environment) suggests me that, given an scenario where multiple insntances of RSCS Virtual machines (I see we've RSCS, RSCS1 and RSCSTST on USER DIRECT) are simultaneously running on this system, NetID could be a way to provide a distinct NodeID for each network this host is connected to... but not really sure. |

Re: Managing Host ID on VM370CE
开云体育I think you have missed one thing. The whole point of the CPUID? in the SYSTEM NETID is that you can have the same VM IPLd on multiple different hardware systems.

Re: Managing Host ID on VM370CE
Hi again.
OK... Thanks Bob, I managed to tweak SYSID :-) ... I recall the MAINT MEMO since I learn how to tweak DMKRIO, so it turned out to be exactly the same procedure. I still have not found the documentation on that particular macro, but just by trial error I fugured that it's limited to 8 chars (but surprisingly accepts chars such as '/' and '-') ... but I'll like to learn more about what DEFAULT= means there and overall whats beyond all that. OTOH, For NetID, which at first glance appeared to be the easy one to have it tweaked, it turns out that I quickly managed to get the system screwed (it wasn't that hard! :-P). I tried accesing the S disk in write mode on another letter, edit SYSTEM NETID, and then re-ipl 190... but a message appeared about virtual machine size beig too small for a non-shared cms (or something like that) and the VM wen to CP. From that point, CMS fails to IPL any more, going back to CP telling 'program interrupt loop'... So clearly there must be some kind of procedure to achieve this.? What is the right wat to apply changes to that file at disk S? or where could I read about how to handle the need for such changes? Cheers! |
