I think not! MVS (z/OS), yes - that's Display Time, but never VM. "Query Time" (abbreviated down to Q T) on VM, yes. And it still works. On VM "D T" is the abbreviation for Display (guest storage) Translated (in hex and character form), which will be happy to display storage, translated, as in cp d t R00000000 03EC2000 85D39114 0E99A630 00000000 F6 *....eLj..rw.....* On some past version, D T alone would display ALL the storage (memory) you had access to, leading to a very, very long display (usually on the OPERATOR console, since they are used to MVS commands). I wrote a "D EXEC" for OPERATOR's 191 disk, displaying the time and suggested that they use "Q T" from then on.

Just curious when it disappeared. well ... on our S/370 during the Nixon administation, we had to type at the console: D T to see the time and date ... so it may have come and gone ;) -- Russ herrold
