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: WAKEUP - does a emulation of this module exist
This is going back a long way, but when DOE started putting information on the internet, we got a program called GOPHER, written in Rexx and used either WAKEUP or a replacement YWAKEUP. Since we

Re: WAKEUP - does a emulation of this module exist
The IBM WAKEUP facility was part of the copyrighted IPF Program Product. I believe it became available in the VM/SP timeframe. The source for the DMSLFN program is in the VMSETUP CMS search order on

Re: WAKEUP - does a emulation of this module exist
Hi Bob, Yeah I am aware of the server. It runs with just sleep though, and I was wondering about the WAKEUP MODULE that could be at the heart of this server. I know that WAKEUP MODULE is a SP(?) or

Re: WAKEUP - does a emulation of this module exist
The VM/370 Community Edition supplies a WAKEUP server that uses a control file to drive REXX routines at specific times. Event handlers can be driven: - at specific intervals from "Now" - on specific

WAKEUP - does a emulation of this module exist
Hi, interested to move some old Rexx stuff onto CE and WAKEUP function is missing (I think). Has anyone stood up an emulation or close alternative. If not, I guess I break out the assembler.....
