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: BREXX DO loop counting weirdness
The BREXX source on VMCE contains fixes that were never moved to the github repository. If the code could be posted in an issue, I could try to reproduce the error here. Bob Bolch wrote:

Re: BREXX DO loop counting weirdness
It¡¯s a neat bug, in any case. The END token (IEnd) is a bit odd since I don¡¯t remember actual Rexx doing that but I¡¯m not in a position to fire up VM ESA and try it. I suspect a statement

I've seen this randomly a couple of times, but today I built a repeatable test case. Using a simple Rexx iterative loop, BREXX occasionally goes quite literally crazy, generating either floating point

Re: DMSSMN109S in @@CRT0 running DIFF
The split DAT has been added? Regardless, the only 31-bit CMS executable I ship is GCCCMS. All others are standard S/370 because they don't need lots of memory. BFN. Paul.

If the module is assuming vm/380 rather than vm/370 then in vmce or vm sixpack , and if you are running the SDL Hyperion version of Hercules, then in your Hercules .conf file, set MAINSIZE to say 512

Do you have control of the webserver so that you can install a certificate? If so, you can obtain a free certificate from https://letsencrypt.org.

Re: DMSSMN109S in @@CRT0 running DIFF
Hi Ross. I'm not 100% sure I was involved in getting a DIFF executable onto a Y drive. I suspect I gave Robert O'Hara something at the time and he probably did that. I do remember one thing though.

Where did DIFF MODULE Y come from? I can't find any source for it, it doesn't use the C libraries that VM/370 CE includes, and in fact it's statically linked with some library that doesn't match
