Hi guys Does Hercules “respect” the instruction set that is present in each CPU Model? I.e: May I run a program with the newest instructions in an older model like 9672? TIA João -- att. João

Hello Folks I have been running TK4 andTK5 on Windows for some years (TK4) without any real issues. This week I have been trying to get TK5 U3 to work on the latest Linux LTS Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 (I have also used Ubuntu for quite a while). During MVS IPL though I am getting reams of error messages on the console along the lines of: 11:45:15 HHC01023W Waiting for port 3270 to become free for console connections 11:45:15 HHC01003W 0:068E COMM: waiting 5 seconds for port 27417 to become available Needless to say I can't connect a localhost 3270 session to the instance either. I also tried TK4 and that is giving similar errors. I think it maybe a host (Linux) permission/security issue, anyone got any light to shine on this? Regards Neil

Ops, the right form is: If a=b Display a Else Display B. Exit-if. Exit.

Hi How can I run 2 MVS under the same windows? Should I use 2 loopback adapters as different gateways? Is it possible? TIA João -- att. João

Hello, I want to add a card reader to OS/390 ADCD 2.10, working akin to what I'm used to from TK4-. For that I compared TK4- SYS1.JES2PARM(JES2PARM) to SYS1.ADCD10.PARMLIB(JES2PARM) and I'm lost because both files look very different. Google searches yielded nothing helpful (to me). May I kindly ask for a step by step advice how to add a card reader? I would really appreciate to postpone the indirection of learning how to configure JES2 to a later point in time. Thank you! Note: I have already added the definition in hercules.cnf (copied from TK4- configuration), with the TCP port incremented so the number is unique again. :wq! PoC

Hi, I'm trying to use TEST to debug a simple assembler language program. TEST's LIST sub-command doesn't work. Is this a known problem? I can share my source code and the JCL I'm using to assemble the program if that word be useful. Mike KB2GHZ

Hello all, I try to set the syntax coloring in REVEDIT, but do not know the relevant command (HILITE does not work). The HELP in REVEDIT shows only the first page. If I select say the item LINE COMMANDS, the mask is closed. My questions: - which command can I use for the syntax coloring? - why I can't select a menu item in HELP (see above)? - is there any (Web...?) documentation for the REVEDIT (as well for the REVIEW)? Thanks

Hello everyone! I'm running the fairly new TK5 release 3 under HercGUI version 1.19.0.5966. I've tried both the recommended "/f bsppilot,shutnow" as described in the TK5 Introduction and User Manual and the "s shutdown" command issued from the MVS console. Both begin the shutdown process but stops at IST127I SNASOL STILL ACTIVE- VTAM TERMINATION WAITING IST127I JRP STILL ACTIVE- VTAM TERMINATION WAITING and the system waits. What is the proper way to shutdown MVS and get "$HASP000 ALL AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS COMPLETE" so I can quiesce and terminate my system?

The public domain version of MVS 3.8J does not contain a utility to offload and reload the JES2 spool. I quickly looked at the CBTTAPE.org site and did not find any compatible solutions for 38J. Have any of you folks written such a utility for MVS 3.8J? Any pointers will be appreciated. Let me know if I missed something....?? Thanks in advance, Larry Belmontes

Hi When I use the path “d:/mvs” in my Hercules config file definitions, it works fine. But when I use “d:/mvs_vxry” it crashes as shown in the log below I was lost and finally I tried to change the path and fortunately it worked. The message is weird “20:09:27 HHC01448S Config file[1] D:/MVS_VxRy/Parms/config.cnf: missing device number or device type” Because all devices are there.

I have developed and tested a modification for the JES2 output writer that issues a devinit command to Hercules for each print data set which splits up the output for printer and punch devices. I am not a system programmer but am good with assembler language. As a result I have no idea how to turn this coder into a usermod for general use. Entries look like If anyone is interested. I am more than willing to share this code. The code was developed from the system generated by Jay Maynard's excellent sysgen instructions. -- J. R. Michael Wegemer Mississauga ON, Canada -- J. R.

Good afternoon. I am trying to use a 3278 model, 4 definition for my master console. The manual GC26-3792-8_OS_VS2_System_Generation_Reference_Release_3.8_Oct80 says that I can specify a 3278 model 4 (figure 8 part 2 of 2 on page 29) but when I try that I get an mnote saying that it is invalid. CONSMST CONSOLE C MCONS=010, C ALTCONS=009, C AREA=04, C PFK=12, C ROUTCDE=ALL MSTCONS IODEVICE C UNIT=3278, C MODEL=4, C ADDRESS=010, C FEATURE=(EBKY3277,DOCHAR,KB78KEY,AUDALRM,NUMLOCK, C SELPEN,PTREAD) * 73+ 5,* * * IEIIOD101 MSTCONS-UNIT VALUE 3278 INVALID Can someone please direct me to where I have gone wrong?

Okay, this is probably a stupid question, my I am very, very out of date. I left the MVS world in the early 1990's and remember that we used to set the date/tome with SYS1.PARMLIB(CLOCKnn). There is no CLOCKnn member in SYS1.PARMLIB in TK5. I am in California and it looks to me like the MVS clock is set to GMT or close to that. As I said it has been decade since I did any MVS system programmers type stuff. Can anyone tell me how to set the time/date on TK5? The SET CLOCK command will only take a two digit year. +

Hi Folks, Today on the 57th birthday of our Dutch king I am pleased to announce the third update of MVS 3.8J Turnkey 5. This update contains many new components and a huge amount of changes. The summary of updates are: Larry Belmontes has developed a Tutorial for ISPF. This tutorial, LBTUTOR, can be accessed via ISPF option T. The installed REVIEW panels have been converted to ISPF 2.2 format. ISPF option 3.6 now provides a Hardcopy function (CPRT36). The TSO command TSOEXEC is now available. TSOEXEC was introduced with the TSO/E Program Product not available for TK5 users. To provide the same functionality for TK5 users Rob Prins has developed the TSOEXEC command. The purpose of TSOEXEC is to execute authorized TSO command processors in a non-authorized environment. The only restriction is that the TSO user should have access to resource SVC244 in the FACILITY class. If no security product is installed, then access is always granted. Usermod RP00003 has been applied to SVC 24 so that the device information returned by DEVTYPE now provides the correct number of cylinders for the various models of 3380 and 3390 DASD devices. See the document: “TK5 Usermod Directory”. Hercules has been upgraded from 4.6 to 4.7. Only the Windows 64 and Linux 64 binaries are upgraded. The bug in LOGON (,)APPLID=xxxxxxxx in ETHLOGVM has been resolved with a rework of usermod ZBP0002. SYS1.TK5.INSTALL.CNTL has been moved from TK5RES to TK5001 and renamed to TK5.INSTALL.CNTL to better reflect its purpose in providing the installation JCL used to install the packages on the TK5001 and TK5002 volumes. ISPF option 3.7.V package DVTOC updated to V1R0M03 to fix an ABEND0C4 when running authorized. Ed Liss has upgraded his MAP3270 package from 3.1.0 to 3.2.1. Bob Polmanter has upgraded NJE38 from 242 to 250. The most significant update is the MEMBERS keyword in the TRANSMIT command. With RECEIVE you can replace members in an existing partitioned dataset. Package BREXX/370 has been updated from V2R5M2 to V2R5M3L01. Rob Prins has updated RPF from V1R9M6 to V1R9M7. See RPF option 7.5 for a summary of the changes. Greg Price has updated Review 50.4 to 51.2. SPY full screen display of 3270 system console screens has been upgraded to support all terminal sizes. TK5 Introduction and User Manual page 5 PDS command package upgraded from 8.6.20.0 to 8.6.22.0. An I/O device system generation has been performed to include the following :- o 16 CTCs at unit addresses 700-708 and 710-717 o 16 CTCs at unit addresses 800-808 and 810-817 o 32 non shared 3380 DASD at unit addresses 1E0-1EF and 2E0-2EF o 32 non shared 3390 DASD at unit addresses 1F0-1FF and 2F0-2FF The 3390 DASD WORKnn volumes now have a use attribute of PUBLIC instead of STORAGE for standardized allocation of permanent data sets. ZP60009, a usermod essential for the successful operation of full screen TSO/VTAM applications, and with a long history of rework, has again been reworked by Greg Price. Some issues were found with 3270 data stream processing for large 3270 screens. Greg stated: “It's taken 21 years, but this time for sure!” From a suggestion by Volker Bandke, the initial CLIST ISPLOGON is updated and the (B)REXX exec $CONCAT is added. OS/360 Sort/Merge for MVS 3.8 updated to Version 1.03 to increase the seven digit record count fields in information messages to eleven digits. HTTPD server is upgraded from 1.0 to 2.0.0 Please download MVS-TK5 Update-3 or the complete MVS-TK5 system with Update-3 included from: https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/tk5 To install the system, please read page 22 of the Introduction and user manual. Please read also the Announcement Letter. Have a lot of fun with this "new" version of MVS 3.8J Cheers, Rob
