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: CMSBATCH Output
SPOOL is a CP command. In your job, you need to prefix it with CP: CP SPOOL PRT TO SYSTEM CLASS A CP SPOOL PRT TO MYUSER Cheers, Rene FERLAND, Montreal

CMSBATCH Output
CMSBATCH seems to be ignoring my attempts to redirecdt output to either the system printer or back to my reader. I've tried both of the following at the beginning of my jobs, right after the job card:

Actually no, this is normal behavior. With EE,? the number of columns displayed depends on the filetype and the corresponding specification is searched in PROFILE EE. If you add the line FTDEFAULTS

Re: VM370CE
Hello Bob, I was able to reproduce that behavior with ZOC. The problem disappeared when I change the terminal from 3278-2 to 3279-2-E. So could this be related to the colors used in the EE screen?

Re: VM370CE
Hi Frank, Thanks for the screen shots. Your setup looks correct. However, the ''No fullscreen support present" is NOT what we should be seeing. I will keep looking onto the issue. Bob Bolch wrote:

Re: MVS Under VM/370 Performance
Eh...the sysprog in me is cringing about not shutting JES2 down cleanly. You'll probably be able to get away with it, but the one time you shut things down in the middle of a checkpoint write and

Daniel, I was a system programmer back then and I ran VM/370 with a VS1 guest on a S/370-148.? Later we had a 4341 and VM/SP and VS1.? Later still we had a 4381 running VM/SP and MVS as a V=R

Re: MVS Under VM/370 Performance
If you punch the EOJ JCL card before shutting downJES2, it'll shut down cleanly. I do it right after IPLing MVS so I don't have to worry about it. A VM guy might be able to automate that whole

Re: MVS Under VM/370 Performance
I think the CPWATCH tool is installed. Try opening a 3270 session, hit enter, the DIAL CPWATCH. The screens let you monitor several counters that might help. Dave [email protected]> wrote:

Re: MVS Under VM/370 Performance
I suspect JES2 won't end normally because it's waiting for the card reader to become ready. Do a $DU after a regular $PJES2. If I'm right, it'll show RDR1 DRAINING. What I do for this is have a file
