To test/install a new VM level, I'd use a secondlevel VM system, no
need to devote an LPAR to it. I still find it easier that one can use
the host level VM; the main reasons::
- to provide the network to be able to log on to the second-level VM:

Hello Howard,
I use execa in usera that will start an execb in cms-userb or a
shellscript in Linux.
When you do it in a pipe the execa will wait until the end of execb (or
shellscript) before continuing.
The pipe will write the output of execb in a file.
So execa can continue depending on the
One could also use the CMS Multitasking queues as mechanism. For the
exec logic itself it would be transparent if the both users are on
different systems or not.
For cross-system, non SNA, support this would be required:
TCP/IP line driver for CMS distributed queues.

Even if you clear the EREP file, or erase it, then once EREP start accumulating
data in XAEREPIO RECORD on his A disk, the records are variable length and will
start to grow in length.
For example, if I clear EREP, the max record size usually start s out at 114,
then will grow to Max of

BTW, that's an intriguing idea to use CMS multitaskings queues as the transport

You've already gotten great advice.
I would add that you do NOT need to split your workload
between the tiers or zones. It was not completely clear to me,
but it sounded like that was one of your expected LPAR splits.
Having LRECL change does not imply that every record will change to that
length. The LRECL of a V format file it the length of the longest record
written. There may be only one record of length 256 in your example.

in order for EREP to receive SMSG from any other user id, you must do the SET SMSG ON (or,

I think you are correct Rob, an application program (ie WAKEUP) must establish

Are you by chance trying to run your EREP stuff without actually
logging on
to the virtual machine? If so, you might want to look at CP SEND
I haven't tried it so I might be all wet, but I think you could
SEND CP EREP EXT
SEND EREP END
SEND EREP EXEC RUNEREP
Wouldn¹t the EREP program actually have to be waiting and understand SMSG
messages, otherwise, what do you expect it to do with the message once
received?
Of course, I could be blowing smoke, and EREP does indeed have features to
do this that I¹m unaware of or have forgotten. (Getting old is such
