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: DMKCNS modifications
Yes, they are present normally in CP, but they need to be removed from DMKCNS TXTHRC if one wants the 2703 connection to UTS to work properly. I am wondering if that "removal" will affect the

Re: DMKCNS modifications
PUT tapes are accumulative in VM, so if you have a PLC 629 tape for example, the fixes that Rene mentioned will be on that tape as well and on any tape 625 or later.? The fixes will also be listed in

Hello everyone, I have a question for those of you who know VM/370 "internals". There has been some activity recently on the Moshix Discord channel regarding UTS (Amdahl Unix), and to make it possible

Re: "Waterloo Tapes" in H390-VM group's Files area
I agree as far as "general interest" stuff is concerned. Looking at the abstract of the tape, I recognize indeed many items present on VM/370 CE. But there might be items of more "personal interest"

Re: "Waterloo Tapes" in H390-VM group's Files area
Mark, I think we have extracted everything usable and beneficial using from that tape. So the command recall code, EDIT modifications, several compilers, EXEC utilities all came from that tape.

Re: "Waterloo Tapes" in H390-VM group's Files area
Probably me, and I probably had it coming. ;-) In any case, a followup question. Bob Abele had a tape, waterloo.aws, which also had a number of files, on it. Does that tape/file have anything we need?

Hi Bert, Do you understand that the REXX function package you want does not and has never existed on any version of VM? The manuals you need to understand what does work are:

Re: DLMALLOC PANIC LINE 3503
It sounds like this mystery code is a REXX function package from a non-VM system. If that is true, then the best we could do here would be to fail more gracefully. The DLMALLOC msg indicates a storage

Bert, As far as I can tell the sys functions are an add-on package on all CMS. On LCM+l which is a later VM/CMS but not real iron, it fails gracefully, but support for external functions was only just

Re: DLMALLOC PANIC LINE 3503
Hey! Wait a minute! This error occurred once I added trace 'e' To the Rexx program. The DMSITP error is from the RxFunctions, such as SysSleep. So -> trace 'e' gave the DLMALLOC error. Bert

Re: DLMALLOC PANIC LINE 3503
