Hello Jim, VSAMIO was written for an usage with the COBOL and PL/I (F) compilers of MVT. I was able to assemble VSAMIO on DOS/VS and use it with the FCOBOL compiler of DOS/VS. I have no idea how to us

I thought I explained in my last message, but apparently it is not clear :-) Just forget it and keep doing what you do. BTW, I usually set OSTAILOR QUIET in the configuration file, this will reduce th

You can skip the devinit 481 * (unmount manually) because VM will automatically unmount the tape, but then (harmless and normal) message DMKTAP516I will be generated on the Hercules console. Since it

Hello Fish, Thanks for taking your precious time to look at this. Yes, device 481 is a 3420 indeed. And VM is not confused, he's just sending a confusing message. :-) If I am reading its documentation

Sorry, forgot the Hercules log. Rene FERLAND, Montreal

Yes, but I feel Hercules is not the guilty one here. Rene FERLAND, Montreal

Fish, I don't understand. If I do /attach 481 to cmsuser as 181 devinit 481 fish.het det 181 then the tape is unmounted yes, but I get: TAPE 481 DETACHED CMSUSER 181 DMKTAP516I TAPE 481 BAD SENSE CMD=

Hello Jim, My sequence in VM/370 is like yours: /attach 481 to cmsuser as 181 devinit 481 jim.het tape dump * * a devinit 481 * /detach 481 from cmsuser and it generates no error messages. On DOS/VS,

Sure, you can find it here: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/DOS_VS/ We don't have the messages for Release 34, but they are available for Release 29 (better than nothing). :-) Cheers, Rene FERLAND, M

4886D TAPE UNIT NOT READY Cause: A sense command was issued to a not-ready tape drive. The sense is made to determine if a file protect ring is needed. System Action: If SYSLOG is assigned to a keyboa

Could this do the trick? https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB27H_6.2.0/pdfs_6.2.0_neu.html Rene FERLAND, Montreal

Hello Robert, Finally, someone who like DOS/VS as much as me! :-) Glad you like my videos, there should be one soon about VSAMIO on DOS/VS. All the best, Rene FERLAND, Montreal

Hello Robert, FCOBOL does not support VSAM datasets to my knowledge. But you can use the VSAMIO package that Jay Moseley wrote for the MVT COBOL compiler. You may go to this address: https://geronimo3

Hello Lucio, I wonder if this discussion group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bit.listserv.vse-l could be a better place to ask your question. Best regards, Rene FERLAND, Montreal

Scott, I just change the settings so that all members can view and upload files. Rene FERLAND, Montreal

>> Hope this helps! Yes it did Fish and thank you very much. I was indeed able to print Hello World with one IOAREA and IJDFAZIZ and it just puzzled me that I could not do it with two IOAREAs and a WO

Problem solved. I assemble the missing IJDFAZIW module using the PRMOD macro, as suggested, and now my program works. Thanks to Garry, Simon and Harold for the helpful replies. Best wishes, Rene FERLA

Hello everyone, I have been trying to run this very simple Hello World assembler program on George Shedlock 5-pack and the execution fails: PRINT ON,GEN,DATA HELLO START 0 BALR 12,0 USING *,12 OPEN PR
