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: CP SET PFnn COPY ccu
Bertram It copies to a 3270 family printer, so you would need a TN3270 program that supports printers. I don’t see any support for 3270 printers in Hercules, but I don’t see how you would be any

Re: DIRECTMAP issue
Hello René, I'm wondering what's going on. I'm using version 4.7.0.11119-SDL-gf7d2360a, but the comments say this is for pre-4.4.0. Did it get broken again by the time 4.7 rolled around? ECPSVM YES #

Re: Trying to access 191 give DMSLIO109S
Bertram, This is why I never bother with large disks. CMS Minidisks are limited in size by the CMS 800-byte file system. You get a maximum of just under 64k 800 byte blocks per disk which is 115

Re: Trying to access 191 give DMSLIO109S
You can create a mini-disk as large as the DASD but, from my quick test, the maximum number of 800 blocks for a mini-disk on a 3380 seems to be 65340, which corresponds to 121 cylinders. In other

Re: Trying to access 191 give DMSLIO109S
If I recall correctly, a 3380 only has 885 cylinders, not 886. (Unless you're using 'E' or 'K' models, but I'm not sure if VM/CE supports those.) [email protected]> wrote: -- Jeff Henry

Trying to access 191 give DMSLIO109S
Hello, I'm getting DMSLIO109S when trying to access my 191 mini-disk. It is a 3380 (the entire drive 000 to 886). How large of a mini-disk does VM/CE support for 3380 DASD? Thank you.
