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 :-

How to clear EREP using CPEREP and sometimes I wish for printed manual again
Hi, I've been reading various manuals on the CPEREP command. I still have yet to figure out how to clear my EREP data (let alone figure out why my EREP area is full already). I guess I'm wondering: 1)

Re: Adding disks found in DMKRIO and CPEREP error
Hi Bob, Thank you so very much for the FILEDEV command for CPEREP. CPEREP ran with only a RC of 4 (Warning as I remember). Bertram / WB8ERT

Re: Adding disks found in DMKRIO and CPEREP error

Re: virtual memory and overlays
And to elaborate a bit on why exactly - the reason is that it would be really cool if we could compile on the same platform by pulling this off. We are looking at cross-compilation, like you would

Just a wild question here with regard to the compiler we need to use for cREXX. The gcc compiler ported to VM/370 suffers address space size problems (so I have heard from reliable sources) and even

Re: Adding disks found in DMKRIO and CPEREP error
Hello Bob, Thank you for letting me know about the 3390 drives. I'll remove them from my vm370ce.conf file. I'll look through DMKRIO for other drives, I can add to the Hercules configuration. Bert /

Re: Adding disks found in DMKRIO and CPEREP error
For item 3, VM/370 does not support 3390 disks. Over the years, support for 3380s was added, by modifications present on the MAINT 094 disk. The 3390 disks in DMKRIO have the CLASS=DASD parameter

Re: Do I have a looping issue?
Hercules should not be in the business of reporting program checks. It should only report on a disabled wait condition, which it does. OSTAILOR is a useless option and should default to QUIET. If an

Is AP or MP support in VM/CE?

Re: Do I have a looping issue?
Have we actually determined WHY these protection exceptions are occurring, albeit apparently legitimately with VM/370? If so I missed understanding that. Yes, I got that CS is being used to test

VM/370 does not have EXEC2. I don't know if EE is reentrant, which is a requirement of a saved segment. Currently, EE resides in the user area at x'20000'. That restricts the CMS commands it can issue
