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 :-

Missing MVS Macro Calls
Folks, I know that JCC doesn't work with VM/370 because it uses OS Macros/SVCs that are not in the CMS OS emulation. Many moons ago I fixed this in GCCMS but I can't do the same for JCC as there is no

Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF
In assuming Drew, like me later in my career, was called a "Site Reliability Engineer". As to VMer, well, I spent 20 years or so working on VM/CMS systems, and once led the VM activities at SHARE.
