Running under VM/370 CE at the same time. Full consoles. Notice the different style 3270 MVS console. You can see compile/link/go on both consoles. The screenshot would be better if I didn’t use model 5 (wide) terminals for DOS/VS. Model 5 really only makes sense for the TK4- screen. You know where you might want …

maketape…part of Hercules 4.x Hyperion
Interesting. Didn’t realize this till today. Certainly a utility I’ve use alot. I recently uploaded a YouTube video using it on a different emulator…simh. I guess you don’t use it on an emulator. You use it for an emulator.
Back to tk4- in VM/370 CE
I’ve been working on DOS/VS in VM/370 and now that, that works good I thought I’d return to MVS. I thought I this working on a dialed console. But I guess not. I even looked back at my log here. But it looks like I cut off the bottom of the MVS console (which would …
Submit Jobs to DOS/VS by the Hercules socket reader
Submit local host (in my case…Linux) Jobs to DOS/VS directly by using the Hercules socket reader. I know this isn’t new or ground breaking to a lot of people. But I’m someone who’s emulation interest comes and goes. And lately I’ve been interested in running DOS/VS in VM/370 CE. Because DOS/VS as provided isn’t very …

My COBOL compile REXX exec works!
Now that I solved my DOS/VS JCL reclen & REXX problem, I successfully created my COBOL compile REXX exec, that wraps the JCL around the COBOL source and submits it to DOS/VS. I never liked storing the compile JCL with the source. The COBOL source library should only be source, IMHO. With this program working, …
VM/370CE with vanilla TK4- and DOS/VS 5 pack
Trying to start DOSVS and you’re supposed to create 2 new files in DOSVS guest… Extract tk4 and move DASD to VM/370 mvs/dasd/ subdirectory Extract DOSVS and move /dos/dasd to dosvs/ subdirectory. Logon to dosvs and create… Except when I try and execute DOSIPL as documented in their write up (I used this test name …

MVS and JES2 Commands
Here. More good stuff here.
VM/370 multiple OS guests
Today’s PC VMs have nothing on IBM who started doing this in the late 1960s with CP/CMS. VM/370 was released in 1972. I ran TK4- (MVS 3.8J) and DOS/VS under one VM/370…running in Hercules. Would anyone do this in the real world? Perhaps a school. IDK. DOS/VS is the only OS I didn’t bring completely …
Submitting jobs to DOS/VS IN VM/CMS
Looking at running DOS/VS under VM again. First off I wanted to know how I started VM with 4 guest terminals setup. As I showed here… OK I made things difficult for myself because I documented things multiple places. And they don’t all work. All this revolves around the “MECAFF – tools”. This also give …
Stop KICKS
There’s probably a better way. But I couldn’t quickly figure out how to end my KICKS environment. So for now I enter the MVS operator concole command C U=HERC01. Since its on Hercules the command is /C U=HERC01.
