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 …

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 …

Started modifying PRIMCOB1 for DOS/VS
Well this is turning out harder than expected. I basically expected minor ENVIRONMENT and DATA DIVISION issues between MVS and DOS. Not data and logic issues. I mean IBM COBOL should basically be IBM COBOL. But Noooooooooooo! I wanted to make a few small changes like accepting input from the console. And I wanted to …
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, …
DOS/VS JCL reclen & REXX
Several things I discovered. My old REXX COMPILE EXEC…doesn’t work on VM/370CE and DOS/VS as written! I was using a newer VM and DOS, probably SP. I discovered the QUEUE statements require the string to be 80 characters. So I must pad them first. I also found that the EE editor doesn’t create fixed length …
VSE/POWER Operator Commands
This is much newer than old DOS/VS power but still may be useful.
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 …
