Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Hi, Mark, Here is another idea that may help to make your job easier in trying to get ASMG running under VM/CE CMS. You can create a small OS mini-disk DASD volume, just big enough to have a minimal

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Hi, David, You are correct to point out how often times, people used the CMS loader to combine one or more TEXT object decks (CSECTs) into a single CMS load MODULE that could then be loaded on

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Mark W., You are correct to point out the Transient Area as critical to understanding this issue. Mark S., some thoughts in case they are helpful. It's important to remember that?modules are imager

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Still struggling with U of Waterloo Assembler G. I need the OS to VM conversion program, RUNPARM/XRUNPARM/WMSASM/... but am struggling with figuring out how/where to load that module, and the ASMG*

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Mark, Are you building a compiler for VM? If so you might want to look at the two assembler routines on the Fortran 191 disk which provide the interface between CMS and the OS Fortran compiler. Dave

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Hi, Mark, For the archives and future folks reading these messages: The CMS "transient area" is defined and explained in several of the CMS manuals, such as:

For future reference. From GC20-1809-7_VM370_OLTSEP_and_Error_Reporting_Guide_Rel_6_PLC_1_Mar79.pdf Transient Program Area (X'0E000' to X'10000') Since it is not essential to keep all nucleus

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Had not considered that, since I don't know off hand how big the transient area is. I'm sure it's in a manual someplace :-D So, I'll add that to my list.? Thanks! However, since RUNPARM issues a

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
I wondered where XRUNPARM came from, and now I know! Thank you!! I do know where the source is, and have assembled it. The TEXT and LISTING files are somewhere around here. I had been looking at LOAD

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Hi, Bernd, See my reply to Mark Stevens regarding RUNPARMS and XRUNPARM... :-) Also, for VM/SP and above, you should be able to use the OSRUN command that is built-in to VM/SP and above to invoke your

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Hi, Mark, RUNPARMS and XRUNPARM are very small, so no reason they could not be compiled and loaded with "(ORIGIN TRANS" to run in the CMS transient area (only 8K), then that way they can load and run

Rene, Yes, I have, and it has a call to GETMAIN and FREEMAIN. ... Mark S.

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
One more remark, BTW: when I tested my Pascal compiler - including XRUNPARM - on modern z/VM, I found out that XRUNPARM with its current coding doesn't work there, because the layout of the module

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
I have written XRUNPARM some years ago (2016), based on a routine called RUNPARM, which IMO is or was part of the COBOL runtime or came with the COBOL compiler (which, AFAIK, is an MVS compiler, which
By Bernd Oppolzer · #5471 ·
Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Have you check the assembler code of RUNPARM? I can't say for sure but, looking at it, I feel RUNPARM does make a call to GETMAIN to obtain storage for the module beyond the end of itself. Cheers,

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Hello, When I was in college (Ohio University), I developed a technique to run multiple commands from one program. Basically, I created a dynamic loader to load the control program. Once the control

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
There is a modules called RUNPARM and XRUNPARM, which is on the Y-Disk. There is also WMSASM from the CBT. All three are supposed to be a 'front end' for programs that are by nature MVS code. They

Re: How Big/Long is a CMS Module
Mark, Not sure what you are planning, but if your program has issued any storage requests, the space at the end of the program will have been used to satisfy those requests so not available to load a

How Big/Long is a CMS Module
I've been trying find/figure this out. A CMS module is of a certain length/size. How do I find out what that size is? Why? because I want to call another module, and have it load above the first one,
