Eric, PDS86 should run under MVS 3.8 and Herc if it is compiled with the #PDSGENH member. I believe there is a MVS 3.8 load module version on CBT file 135 called PDS8638. Greg Price has reported that it runs OK in the Hercules environment.
I think 8.6 was first on the CBT Updates page in the September 2005 timeframe and Sam Golob has written about it in the NaSPA Technical Support magazine.

I don't remember seeing that, unless I've been running it all along and forgot the number. I can't go check anymore as our system is gone. I remember downloading something several months ago and just putting it in a steplib so I wouldn't have to make any system changes. Maybe that was 8.6! Does PDS 8.6 run under Hercules and MVS 3.8? I seem to remember that there was a version of PDS that ran under MVS 3.8. I decided that I need to do sometthing technical while being unemployed, so I plan to install Hercules and MVS 3.8 on either my desktop or my laptop. My laptop is in for repairs, so I'll ;probably be blessed with an almost empty harddrive when it comes back, as they said the repair shop usually reloads the software that came with the machine.
