Look the GCC compiler I built on VM/370 R6 runs fine in 370 mode in zVM5.2, as do many of the other application built on that platform. You only need to worry about "real" 370 mode if you application issues 370 mode specific instructions, typically SIO , SIOF etc. or wants to run with a BCMODE PSW. As I know nothing of the guts of Jovial I can't say if this would affect it. If it does then will it run on a really old VM system on Hercules. Critical question is what apps are you running and where do they get there data from and send it too.

Richard: We have 370 mode in V2.3 so that's no problem. My concern is it's lack of availability in the more recent versions of zVM/CMS. That's why we would need to run a guest VM/ESA or maybe zVM 3.1 partition under the latest zVM so we could keep 370 mode. At least that's my understanding.

Have you tried CP SET 370ACCOM ON and SET CMS370AC ON while running in an ESA mode machine? Regards, Richard Schuh =
