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: Three questions about VM/CE (Left, middle, and right field question)
Isn't it (in a certain way) what the NICOF program of Hans Latz was doing? I remember there was a disconnected virtual machine TCPIPXY running on VM/370 and a Java machine on the host connecting to

Re: Three questions about VM/CE (Left, middle, and right field question)
"I'd be happy to join a future team looking at adding the OSI 7 layer (better known as TCP/I:) to VM/CE." TCP/IP only uses layers 3 and 4. Joe wrote:

Re: Three questions about VM/CE (Left, middle, and right field question)
Bertram, Whilst licencing is difficult, most any IBM OS works on Hercules. TCP/IP does not use the ISO 7-layer model. If you think it does please explain where the ¡°presentation¡± layer is

Re: Three questions about VM/CE (Left, middle, and right field question)
Harold, Support for TCP/IP would include the physical layer of the OSI model. Thus Hercules would need to support the myriad number of devices one can hook to the IBM iron. Now I see a large part of

Re: Three questions about VM/CE (Left, middle, and right field question)
Hello, I'm assuming the work necessary to get VM/CE to recognize the OSI 7 layer model is the same as on any hardware supporting the Internet, right? I mean Hercules needs to look like real iron. Thus

Well, that's the end of that, isn't it? :-) ... Mark S. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to code C.

Re: Possible bug in BREXX parse instruction
I also have some qualms about some of the macros on MVS.? I may have misread the documentation, but it is unclear - to me - how reading the VTOC works. All the best MA

Re: Possible bug in BREXX parse instruction
It doesn't work in VM370. Jason won't release the source so I can't fix. The library is full of OS macros which breaks many things we do on VM Dave

Re: Possible bug in BREXX parse instruction
Makes me wonder if the VM group should consider using JCC rather than GCC. Do you have? Pros/Cons for these two compilers someplace? ... Mark S. Just what we need. one more thing to do.

Re: Three questions about VM/CE (Left, middle, and right field question)
Bertram, I think it would be challenging to get any ¡°C¡± code similar the ¡°Pi¡± DMR code to run on zVM where you have a modern ¡°C¡± compiler. The ¡°C¡± compiler in VM/370 is rather old, and

This is how we did it when we were running VM/370. We had ASSEMBLE, OLD, NEW versions of DMKRIO and DMKSNT. For DMKSYS, we had ASSEMBLE, EST, EDT. We just copied the right (OLD/NEW) file into ASSEMBLE

Re: Possible bug in BREXX parse instruction
Hi Mike, I am not a bit mad, and I am sorry I gave that impression. I agree that the literals should be identified first, because they must be used to separate the string being parsed into smaller
