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: 3270 printers under VM
There were several implementations for VMS. JNET in particular has been recovered, and some people have succeeded, recently, in getting it running. We'll be working on it at LSSM likely later this

Recently I joined this group, and read about SAA defunct, and OS/2 implementation, etc. (somewhat off-topic) I seem to remember that around 1994 I got involved in the then-new SAP R/3. It struck me

Re: 3270 printers under VM
Dave, Thanks for the details on getting the printer defined to RSCS. I worked with RSCS many. many years ago, on a VM/HPO system running a 4381. I have forgotten how to do simple things! Miss those

Re: 3270 printers under VM
No, I meant VM/ESA, but I do want to print from CMS. Apparently the way to do this is via RSCS; that was the missing link I was looking for. Thanks! -Dave

Re: 3270 printers under VM
Dave, I assume you mean VM/CMS? From what I remember VM does not consider 3270 printers as Printers so the only way to print out of the box is with the PF copy key. I don't have ESA running so I can't

(specifically VM/ESA) Can anyone shed some light on what it takes to get VMS to be able to print to a 3270-connected printer, say a 3287? I failed around the help panels for a while today and I don't
