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: Possible bug in BREXX parse instruction
I had to build bREXX for bug chasing already .. I will look into this. I checked KEDIT/KEXX, Regina and ooRexx under Microsoft Windows and all these results are the same as with *REXX370 4.02*.

Hi Mark, 'That said, the definition for parsing using the PARSE ARG, or ARG commands does not appear to identify the right parenthesis as a special character, as it identifies the left parenthesis.'

Later CMS versions have some command where you can edit a file with all updates applied, and where you can create new update files. So I made something similar (much simpler, I expect). I called it
