Vince, I don't have z/VM 5.1, just z/VM 4.4.
I think CMS might already be IPLed when you log on to OPERATOR. As Mike suggests, when you log on to OPERATOR you might be ipling CMS but going into CP MODE. Just entering the command TERM MODE VM will let you enter CMS commands. If CMS isn't ipled, you could be entering IPL CMS and then the PROFILE EXEC try to do stuff with your 191 disk and the "too full" condition is breaking it. You can prevent the PROFILE EXEC from running. After entering the IPL CMS command, when the bottom corner says VM READ, do not hit enter, type in the command ACC (NOPROF then hit enter. 191 will be accessed as your A disk but the PROFILE EXEC won't run. If the 191 is not broken, then you should be able to get to the point where you can erase your problem child. But pasting the messages would definitely help.

That would really give us something to work with. By way of history, CMS has long had problems with breaking the file system on a minidisk when the disk fills up. It's VERY much better than it used to be, but can still cause problems on occasion. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

Our Operator is running in CP. When I try to IPL CMS to get it into CMS I get 191 full and so I can't get the Operator into CMS to do an erase. So I am guessing we need to backup 191 and reformat and restore all but the file I want to erase?
