This group is for all folks running the original IBM VM/370 Release 6 operating system (or later (e.g. VMTCE (Community Edition)) on Hercules. Like the other early IBM operating systems this version has always been in the public domain and so can be freely distributed. The base version as supplied by IBM is lacking in many facilities. IBM solved this by providing additional extension products which were licensed and so are not available. There are however many user enhancements available which can be installed. In addition, in order to get users up and running quickly updated "releases" of VM/370 included the most popular updates are available for download, so novices can start to learn VM without having to delve into the system internals. It is intended that this wiki will provide information on the base release and these updates.
The available versions are here :-

Re: Visual studio 2022
Yes, I have tried VS2022.? It works on Windows 10.? On Windows 11 I'm still working out why some of the tests fail. But you'll need to modify a couple of the files to build with it as the repo isn't

Re: What is ASMAHL?
I understand your concern, but I don't seriously think that a module *name* is going to be a legal issue with anyone if it shares the name of a licensed product. IBM is at this point well WELL aware

Re: EXECIO problem
Dave, Do not give up!! Worst case scenario is to delete your copy of vm370ce and download a fresh copy. That means reapplying anything that has changed. I have done that myself more than once :-) One

Re: EXECIO problem
Things have gone from bad to worse, much worse! CMS will no longer IPL. Looking at the Hercules log (luckily I redirected it to a file), the 6A1 disk has lots of errors: 17:39:02 HHCCU601W 06A1

Re: EXECIO problem
I followed the github steps successfully until the last bit - the COPYFILE. MAINT doesn't seem to have a 593. The rebuilt EXECIO MODULE is on MAINT's S disk - CMSDISK 190 (readonly). There's also a

Re: What is ASMAHL?
Hi Olaf, That technique will not work when called from the original EXEC language. The calls to ASMAHL in GCC expect it to be a MODULE. Bob Bolch

Re: What is ASMAHL?
Another solution might be possible: replace it with an EXEC of the name that's used, which in turn calls the existing assembler with all arguments passed through. Then anyone who looks at it will see
