Re: Code after RUNNING status?
For Vista I rewrote Tom's 'VSTEXEC' TSO command for VM. It is available athttp://www.tombrennansoftware.com/other.html as VMVISTA VMARC This allows changing the Window Title (and other options) of the current session from CMS only if the emulator is VISTA Then EXEC I use is -- -Start EXEC -- /* Set Title Bar on Vista Screen */ parse arg title if title='' then do identify (lifo if rc0 then exit rc pull us at sysid . title='VM 'left(userid(),8)' at 'sysid end 'VMVISTA SetOption(General,WindowTitle,'title')' -End EXEC --- By changing the Title sessions are named even when the session is minimized.

I am using Tom Brennan's Vista tn3270 which lets me also color the frame and border of the session. It shows the IP hostname in frame of the window too. And I use the ID command a lot when jumping through a dozen sessions. In the past I have also worked with different colors for some of the output via the CP SCREEN command (like red CP output on the production systems - as if that were enough to prevent that accidental shutdown).

Re: Historical curiousity question.
To support minidisks that already have a VTOC embedded i.e 'MDISK cuu devt 0 END volser' McKown, John wrote: This is not important, but I just have to ask this. Does anybody know why the original designers of VM did not do something for minidisks akin to a OS/360 VTOC? Actually, it would be more akin to a partition table on a PC disk. It just seems that it would be easier to maintain if there was something on the physical disk which contained information about the minidisks on it. Perhaps with information such as: start cylinder, end cylinder, owning guest, read password, etc. CP owned volumes have an allocation map, this seems to me to be an extention of that concept.

Re: SPXTAPE alternatives
I have a program that will backup to CMS files and restore all system files (NSS, DCSS, IMG, OVERRIDE and NLS) On a restore, if needed, the appropriate DEFSEG/DEFSYS is constructed based upon the file to be restored and issued. Restored files may be issued new names.

I need to move all the volumes from one ESS to a new ESS (F20 to 800 if it makes a difference). I note that the correct way to move the spool and nss/dcss is via SPXTAPE -- can this be used to write to dasd as I have no tape drives (or volumes) assigned to the VM LPAR ? I'm assuming that I would use DDR to move the other mini disk volumes ( I plan to create new CP_OWNED volumes and use the procedures to move CF2 to an alternate residence volume to move the VM system itself. The plan then would be then to have different ONLINE_AT_IPL volumes between CF1 (in use) and CF2 (new). Am I off base here or is there an easier way of doing this.

Suppressing PER messages
Is there a way to suppress the message 'Command Complete' issued by a PER CMD? Example Issue 'PER DIAG 58 PRINTER CMD DUMP 0.20;BASE3' sends 'Command Complete' to the console for each DIAG 58 requiring a clear key between each full screen display.

Re: Corrupted IPL Record
can you post the DDR dump of the corrupted record ? Schuh, Richard wrote: Neither one is on the system where the corruption occurred. It is so specialized and stable that there is rarely any need to even look at the directory, much less update it. We have access to the disks from our main VM system, so we allocate new M-disks there using VM:Secure and copy the resulting mdisk statements to the small system.

Re: Diag A8 R15 RC of 3
What CC on the DIAG A8 ? Whats in the CSW (Channel Status Word at int) ? What's in the sense ? Ken Vance wrote: Hi, We are using DIAG A8, and we are getting a RC of 3.
