Updated version of the Stanford Pascal Compiler designed to run on VM/370 Rel. 6 under the Hercules emulator. It should also run on today's z/VM and some, or all flavors of z/OS, a.k.a. MVS too, however it has not been tested on those operating systems. Currently supported by Bernd Oppolzer. The paths from the configuration file may be relative. However, in my case, I’ve provided absolute paths. I downloaded the files and shared them to virtual machine. Here you can find the hercules.cnf file. 4: Starting Hercules. Start hercules on the same directory as your hercules.cnf file. In my case: Z: /OS/ibm'C://Program Files/Hercules.
In this tutorial we are going to install VM/370 into the Hercules emulator. Sadly I really don't know how to use the OS, and I've just gotten it to install but I wanted to write down my notes before I forget...
Requirements
- I am going to use Hercules version 3.03 for Windows, namely the version found here.
You will need the following files for the OS install:
- bzip2
- Some kind of 3270 emulator program... I use QWS3270. x3270 is another great (free) emulator.
Getting started
First pick a location for your emulator. I'm going to use c:tempherc. Run the emulator, and it'll let you select a place to install the files..
Next extract the vm370r6-essentials.tar.gz file, in your 'setup' directory and it'll create an 'essentials' sub directory.
Finally decompress both CPR6L0.ddr.aws.bz2 & VMREL6.ddr.aws.bz2 into the 'essentials' directory.
With all of these in place we next create a configuration file as the supplied one will not work with 'new' versions of Hercules.
I am going to use the configuration file here:
Save the file to '370.cnf'The crucial addition is the 'ARCHMODE'.
Setup the DASD
Run the following commands in the 'essentials' directory (we will run all commands from there for now on.).
Now with everything in place we can kick off the tape install.
boot 1
Run the emulator like this:
You will get a screen with a '>' prompt. Next run your 3270 terminal program, and attach to the localhost port 3270. Back at the Hercules console type in:
With any luck you'll see the following in your 3270 emulator:
Type the following into the 3270 program:
When the command completes on the emulator you will see lines scrolling like crazy reading something like this:
Don't worry apparently the emulator isn't feeding the end of tape correctly to the emulator. Simply type in 'quit' to the emulator and hit enter, and you'll drop back to your command prompt.
boot 2
Now we re-run the emulator again, to load in the '2nd' tape image.
Run the emulator like this:
You will get a screen with a '>' prompt. Next run your 3270 terminal program, and attach to the localhost port 3270. Back at the Hercules console type in:
With any luck you'll see the following in your 3270 emulator:
This time we enter:
And just as last time our 'hint' that it completed was the emulator screen scrolling with errors like this:
Type in quit at the emulator screen and press enter.
boot 3
The OS is now restored! Now to bring it up we run the emulator however we connect with a REGULAR telnet program on the localhost to port 3270. The default windows client runs fine.
Run the emulator like this:
Then next start the telnet session:
( On the windows XP version of telnet, the default is for 'localecho' to be OFF, meaning you won't see what you type ! Press CTR-], then type 'set localecho' <return>)
Input the following command onto the emulator:
Then in your telnet session you should see:
Installing Z Vm On Hercules Full
Answer NO
Installing Z/vm On Hercules
The telnet session will now look like this:
Answer COLD
Your telnet session will now look like this:
Finally type in:
ENABLE ALL
Your VM/370 session should now be running. Start a 3270 session (leave the telnet session running) and you should be greeted with:
Going from here
You can then issue the command 'log' on the regular telnet session. This will logout the operator user. Then on the 3270 session simply type in:
This will start the logon process for the operator user, and it's password is operator.
The other default userid password is MAINT/CPCMS.
Shutting down
In the telnet session simply type in:
SHUTDOWN
And you should see:
