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 :-

This also happens to me on an untouched system, I have started a second Hercules to check this. I have to investigate what I had done on MAINT almost two years ago. Martin

Hi Martin, tried this to the best of my ability and all I get is a clock in the 3270 status indicator - then I have to force off the user or in some cases ipl cms. Do we want to take this to the git

Re: Networking a selection of Hercules systems running VM/370rel6
Yes, I did fail to mention the version of Hercules I was using. My sincere apologies. Sometimes it is hard to sort through all the documentation to ensure I have the EXACT correct CURRENT information.

Okay, First, log on to MAINT and check your Real I/O definitions in DMKRIO ASSEMBLE. If you are running VM/370 CE you will find it on the G minidisk after you enter the command: vmsetup cp You should

In this preview of EE the subcommand interface is not active by default. Copy SYSPROF EE from the Y-Disk (MAINT 19E MNT19E 19E Y/S R/O) to your A-Disk and modify that copy as desired. My copy on

For this preview, it is necessary to have a SYSPROF EE on the A-Disk. The first line must be the single word SUBCOM without quotes. *File: MINIMAL ?EXEC ? ? A0 ?RECFM: V LRECL: ?72(72) Lines: ?

It is my special SYSPROF EE which I have on MECAFF's A-Disk. This means that a workaround is possible by supplying a custom SYSPROF EE for test purposes. Martin
