Perfect. This makes sense now and does exactly what I need. Thanks to
everyone.

Re: CP command to list z/VM files from Linux?






Peter ...

I started a much longer reply because no single "VM tool for Linux"
can bridge the entire chasm you are trying to cross,  and as the
author of CMS FS,  I started to get a little defensive.   Sorry.

You said you want the Linux equivalent of

   type profile exec a

Most of us VMers will presume that you mean your 191 disk,
since A is by default 191 in CMS tradition.   So find out
where Linux believes your 191 disk to be defined to the kernel:

   grep 191 /proc/dasd/devices

If you get nothing from that command,  then try

   cat /proc/dasd/devices

It is possible that the 191 is no defined to Linux,
which would make this a bit more complicated.   But for me

   $ grep 191 /proc/dasd/devices
   0191(ECKD) at ( 94:132) is dasdah     : active at
                blocksize: 4096, 12240 blocks, 47 MB

So my 191 is /dev/dasdah.
Yours will most likely NOT be the same /dev special file.
My equivalent to  'type profile exec a'  then is

   $ cmsfscat -d /dev/dasdah -a profile.exec
   /*                                                                    *
    *                                                                    *
    *        Name: PROFILE EXEC                                          *
        ...

Does that help?
