Some IPLable utilities require an interrupt so that the utility can identify the specific terminal to which it should reply (this goes back to ancient days of coax-connected terminals). I'm not sure about DFDSS.
But it can't hurt to try pressing "ENTER" (wherever it is mapped on your 3270 terminal emulator keyboard, but usually the right-Ctrl key). If that doesn't work, give the ATTN or SysReq key each a try. If all those fail, try pressing the "PA1" key, which should cause a "CP READ", then enter: D PSW (or "D PSWG" on z/Architecture virtual machines) and report back here with the displayed PSW.

Upon IPL from tape (i.e. IPL 181 clear), we were able to load the standalone dfdss program successfully: 5694-A01 DFSMSDSS STAND-ALONE v1.07.0 .... ... ADRY005E DEFINE INPUT DEVICE, REPLY 'DDD,CCUU' OR 'CONSOLE' ENTER INPUT/COMMAND: . We reply to message above with "CONSOLE" ,but the program just hangs without any error message. z/vm shows the status as "running". Other programs such as standalone ICKDSF seems to have no problem. We know our SADFDSS is a working tape because when we ipled without z/vm, there is no problem replying "CONSOLE" to the ADRY0005E message. Can anyone guide me on what to check ? thanks.
