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: CMS cashed during an HX of a REXX program
Yeah, but should CMS die so badly it can't continue? If REXX incorrectly maintained its allocated memory, shouldn't it be REXX to die and not all of CMS? I see two issues: REXX has an allocation of

Re: CMS cashed during an HX of a REXX program
Of course its going to crash. numeric digits 10000? really? you want 10000 places of precision? the normal setting is 9. so this statement "IF A//1000 = 0 THEN DO" causes a math calculation with 10000

Re: DMSLIO109S VIRTUAL STORAGE CAPACITY EXCEEDED
To amplify, it could be the minidisk catalog being saved as a saved segment that¡¯s causing the collision with CMS. I¡¯d recommend looking at moving the minidisk segment away from CMS a little bit.
