Are you running releases of CP and CMS that support vector instructions? How is the CMS virtual machine defined?
Where is the HLASM documentation for the VL instruction? Does M_3 default to 0? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Shmuel, I'm testing under z/VM. Ah HAH: I finally grokked what you'd said before about DXC, deciphered PofOp's somewhat opaque "When a data exception causes a program interruption, a data-exception code (DXC) is stored at location 147" to mean DECIMAL location 147 (why on earth would I want to know that it's at DECIMAL 147??), and lo and behold: -> 0000E072 ???? E710C0A00006 CC 1 *** 0000E072 PROG 0007 -> 0139BCF0 DATA d s93 R00000093 FE F6 So yeah, not enabled. Meanwhile, the whole thing is, as Charles notes, "Dense, and few or no examples." As my dad used to say, "My kingdom for an example!" I did find some Linux code fragments using the vector instructions via this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=vgfmg+vector which you'll note gets a grand total of 33 hits. Alas, those examples are so obscure that I sure don't grok them. Will continue to try. Ooh, was about to send, and Roberto Halais's pointer to https://secure-web.cisco.com/1cmW8LBmp6n6uZWEGM-tWMN6aeFc1K_pVdN2oD6B1Q8YnQKMsmZ__0zAFbMAciR9ObiSPhAPP5BYuUSzYzDp1e2peDFZE9b3RMyXCDphGrIa9UzCnBtw_gILylcri9JwmBr1_-3oaw_hBMcNuSH05dIzIis16LYAShx4fC3dFZ2-4pgZ2ja3MsXUrRmLd1shE-yA4rVCYkNkKnH153u5fRHQSup6tshyr8e0pHJAytangfQmU3JUyO674AqN5AC9IV-yFtI4Tbc1E9W-STKAzpOctFXm1OG8HD7ItPZjkMMPQIeoVpI_I9FAr8LCbY3bhBvk4T9OgLqdNjKJ7hGTj4q88tQfE5Xt9W7AIQjjWxs-MYWvEw7FLtOLFK2eu_dihv3LfwC3vsFJ5CFIcycjrQLaADoPUg-ZiNfC4o68W_PTuVxVWgDXXNnAeU-JBAVtu/https%3A%2F%2Fsearchdatacenter.techtarget.com%2Ftip%2FThe-first-steps-to-use-SIMD-inst ructions-on-mainframes gives me a HUGE leg up on how to do this. Thanks!! ...phsiii P.S. While looking for examples, I also tried Googling: vperm vector The Google "Did you mean." for that is a bit.off base. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
