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 :-

I think that it is clearer to put ALL CP user modifications on the local disk (MAINT 594) and all CMS modifications on the CMS changes disk (MAINT 593). MAINT 594 for CP changes. MAINT 593 for CMS

You can generate define these devices to VM and they can be dedicated (or attached) to guests. Early releases of VM/370 (with SEPP which we don¡¯t have) and VM/SP did 3270 networking via the PASSTHRU

Re: Updating DMKRIO on VM370 CE

aha... so, does this means that VM/370 is unable to DEDICATE (passthrough) to a guess, any device that it is unable to handle on its own? Or does that mean that, since no VTAM in VM370, entries for

Re: Updating DMKRIO on VM370 CE

Ok so just in case despite there being no VTAM, TCAM, OR PASSTHRU in vm/370 ce you do want to mess lets look at this. So DMKRIO is assembler source, so it needs to be assembled and then re-linked into

Hi! I'm using VM/370 Community Edition. I think that, more precisely is CE v1 R1.2. I took a look at DMKRIO, and I didn't find (or failed to) any entry for 3705 devices/units... so any reserve on

Re: Updating DMKRIO on VM370 CE

Personally I would make a backup copy of DMKRIO and then edit it directly. (Or just copy it to your ¡°A Disk) You will need to use VMFASM DMKRIO DMKHRC To assemble it. You get four warnings which you
