I believe you are going to have a lot of problems geting rid of the message.
Please let us know if you succeed. I had a similar problem using ADCD and
the resoultion was not as simple as everyone is saying.

I think the ADCD system that you are using was generated to work in a
SYSPLEX.
There is some kind of conflict involved.

I remenber that I eventually created a completely new LOGREC data set- -
(also not simple) called it LOGREC1 (made it bigger at the same time). Then
I changed the system confifuratin to point to that data st
and then RE-IPL'd.

After that it worked fine and the normal solutions that were suggested
worked - Don't remeber exactly how I created bui Ido remember that also is
an issue.

But my experience was that until I created a new logrec dataset and changed
the definitions in the system configuration I couldn't get it to work.
Pretty sure that it has something to do with the SYSPLEX.

Hi,

You have several problems in your config, that you should fix, but don't really have to. The proper response to the outstanding reply you're getting is "R 00,I" (sans quotes), the 00 is zero-zero not letter o's.

Now to the config changes:

ARCHMODE z/Arch (not ESAME)
CPUMODEL 2086 (or some other z/series box, not 9672, there are other problems that you will run into later)
MAINSIZE 1536 (or as much memory as you can spare 256 is hard enough on REAL hardware).
OSTAILOR Z/OS (not os/390)

Unless you have some really good reason, a lot of extra time, or a death wish, you should also remove the NUMVEC line completely. I doubt that you really want (or need) one.

Once you IPL, (assuming you use the CS - coldstart parm someone else suggested), you will see that not only do you have to initialize the sysplex, which in you case the sysplex is a MONOPLEX, and that is completely normal. You're sysplex ID with the ADCD is going to be ADCD. You will also notice that JES2 will also cold start. In the future (after this first startup and when you shut it down), I suggest that you change your loadparm from "0A82CS.." to either "0A8200M." or "0A8299M." depending on whether you are using SYS1.IODF00 or SYS1.IODF99 (and load00 or load99) to match your hardware definition. Otherwise, every time you IPL, you will wipe out all of your spool output from the previous run.

If you look at the document that came with the ADCD you will see these steps are all laid out (except for the config stuff) very well. If you don't have the document, let me know and I'll send you one. The multiple UserID's and passwords are all outlined in the same document, there are quite a few, (20+) aside from IBMUSER. I'd send the password to you in this message, but you would be surprised how many sites leave IBMUSER at the default, and it would be kind of crappy to have some 12-year-old get hold of it (I'm sure they could guess it anyway), but I don't want to be the one to provide it to him/her.

All of this is assuming that you acquired the ADCD volumes in some legal manner (I hope):) .

If you are using the ADCD system - Which you shouldn't be unless you are
working on real hardware :-)
I am pretty sure that there is documentation ADCD

Usually it's something like IBMUSER - If they were nice then passwords
will be the same - LOL

Yes, there is all kinds of "stuff".  There's CICS stuff, DB2 stuff, IMS stuff,
RACF stuff, File Manager stuff, and so on.  By the tone of the kind of questions
you're asking, you have never laid eyes on MVS, zOS or anything else.  Forgive
me for saying this, but you are wasting your time, and the time of people on
this forum, by pestering everyone you discover a new thing you don't know.  The
best advice I could give you, and I mean this honestly, is to stop messaging the
Hercules forum.  Go on the web and find the IBM zOS online library.  Start with
Introduction to the New Mainframe as a start.  Trying the zOS information
center.  The link http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/z/zos/index.html has
IBM's Support for zOS, which is a good starting point.

Unless you start reading (large) manuals, doing the research and the homework,
having a zOS system will do you no good, and not all the Hercules forum members
combined will be able to help.  You need a solid basis of knowledge to get
anything done on a mainframe, and you just don't have that yet.

I am not saying this to be harsh, it's just the facts of mainframe life.

Quasar,

Although there are people on this list who are knowledgable in all
sorts of areas, the list is primarily about the Hercules emulator, and
not the operating systems and application programs that can be run on
it. There are other public lists that specialize in those topics, and
as other have pointed out, there is documentation that comes with the
ADCD, and IBM forums for ADCD discussion. For a start, have a look at

Has anyone taken the time to check the website ( http://www.mainframes360.com/ ) Quasar is hosting?

It appears to be quite ambitious and may become a good starting point for those who wish to learn many of the Mainframe's concepts.

Hopefully, Quazar will also use the site to post links to some of the documentation he discovers while trying Hercules and learning z/OS systems.

If more sites like his existed, perhaps more interest in IBM z/OS systems would be generated among the new generation.

Twice I've tried, and twice it crashed my browser.

I looked at the IEBCOPY description under Utilities, and at best
it's incomplete. Some of the information is misleading (the COPY
sample has an explicit RECFM=FB, with no explanation - pity the
user who adapts for a load library copy). For the different
functions (copy, compress, unload/restore) the author should
have used different paragraphs to obtain better readability even
if it meant repetition of some items. The unload description
creates the impression that the sequential file must be on a
tape drive, etc.

It makes me wish that there were a Wiki-tutorial so that all the
information could be cleaned up in one location.

When you get the web page to display, the lay-out is
so bad that you have to scroll left and right to read

than posting here?

So send a private note to him describing his JCL

some CoBOL information.

Apologies if this is not an appropriate question for this group.

I have a dozen or so 9-track tape reels which I'd like to get some information off. I use Hercules and so wonder if anyone on the list knows of a service to transcribe such tapes to AWS files, or indeed has other suggestions for reading them? Many thanks .. Gavin

[Robert Hodge]

There are data recovery services that will copy data from old tapes and disks,
but they are not cheap.  Your best bet might be to try and find someone employed
at a site with a mainframe and see if they have kept any 9-track reel-to-reel
tape drives around.  Sometimes large shops hold onto just one such drive for
special cases, and the rest are cartridge drives.  Cartridges have been around
quite a while, so chances of finding a reel-to-reel drive still operating and
getting access to it are pretty slim, but not impossible.  If so, they might be
able to copy the data to a local disk file, and then perhaps FTP it back to you.

BTW, if the tape in question was 6250 BPI tape on a 2400 foot real, the
theoretical capacity of such a tape is about 180 MB, so you should be able to
fit at least three of your tapes onto a CD-ROM, and possibly more if the tapes
are not completely maxed out.

I have some at 6250 and some at 1600 (and maybe, but probably not, some at 800) bpi. I might even have a 7-track or two but I've given up on transcribing those!

I suspected a professional service would be expensive and, in my case, that's not worth it because some of the tapes have nothing of value on them and I won't know which ones till they are read so I know I'd be spending a lot for literally nothing.

I do have some local contacts, but getting access to their hardware is a problem .. looks like it's time to try harder.

Thanks .. Gavin

I've had some very generous offers of assistance which I want to acknowledge. I'm going to wait a few days and see if any local options mature, but didn't want those kind people to think I wasn't appreciative .. This is a great list, Gavin

I've had good luck reading 6250 and 1600, not so good with 800. The big
gotcha is the Memorex MRX V and some BASF tapes that have binder migration
problems and need to be freeze-dried before reading.

I have a 9-track drive on a PC, and would be happy to read the tapes if they
can be read.

*Folks - *
Alright, I got to the Logon screen of zOS, but what's the default User-id and Password?

You need to get that from the supplier of your operating system -
presumably IBM.

Overall it sounds as though you have little or no background with the
operating system you are trying to use, e.g. there is no "logon screen
of zOS", but rather logon screens for various applications such as
TSO, CICS, etc. If you have general questions about current IBM
operating systems, you would do better to ask on the IBM-MAIN list.

If you would rather use one of the older, public domain IBM OSs, then
there are OS-specific Hercules groups where people will be happy to
help you with those.

Hi Quasar -

I admire your persistance.

But really all are correct - this is not the forum for your questions - This
is Hercules and you are talking beginning Mainframe,,
That being said:

1) I see that Brian Westerman replied to you - Brian is an excellent source
of information and from what I remember, he told me that he worked on the
development team of the ADCD package. He usually is very helpful so I
suggest that you try contacting him off line.
I am sure that if has the time he will do his best to put you on the right
track

2) if his replies are too complicated for you then you can write me offline
- Brian has a lot more knowledge about this than I do, but I DID set up a
complete ZOS 1.9 system to work. I ran into all the problems that you are
talking about and scores of others,

That being said:

This is real systems programming and there is no way that you are going to
get ZOS to work properly unless you want to put in weeks and months of
concentrated effort, If you want DB2 and CICS etc then you are going to
have to do all the sytems work involved for a DBA and CICS systems
pogrammer,

The canned package on the ADCD diskettes is just a starter and won't get you
very far
Same goes for RACF - and VTAM and the SYSTEMS internals

You will want to insall the debugger and some normal databases etc. if you
want to simulate your workplace environment.
Build procedure etc. etc etc.

If you are willing to put in the effort then I'd be happy to help you - but
that implies that you do a lot of digging and sweating on your own and
pretty much devote yurself to this project,
You cannot imagine the amount of effort that is required to get this to work
- Even for someone who has the knowledge and background which you freely
admit you don't.

If you want an evironment similar to your workplace then you will need to do
all the work of the DBA's CICS sytems programmers - System systems
programmers and the various adminstrators for SMF and RACF SNA and VTAM just
to name a few.

If you want a less problematic system then go for the VM6 that everyone on
the Hercules site is talking about.
A lot more practical for you -- And these people are all very professionsal

That system practically works right out of the box. It also won't give you
the workplace you are familiar with or even anything close to that, but its
the real place to learn beginning progamming. You will have to Sweat there
also - But you will learn - The Zos is in my opinion is a great system but
you just don't have the skill set to move forward with that yet.

Up to you - But without a lot of sweat you are not going forward.
What are your objectives? Do they justify the effort?

Perhaps you should just ask around if anyone can send you a ready made
customized system where all the work has been done.
Then you can go in and just be the COBOL programmer you say you are. maybe
putter around a bit with assembler.

But you will have the envrionment.
Is that what you are lookng for?

Roc
