Software for OS/VS2 MVS Release 3.8Last updated 20th March 2020
Trying to debug software under MVS 3.8? Take a serious look at the MVS Dynamic Debug Tool
Alphabetical list of downloadable MVS 3.8 software
ZIP file of as ASCII job stream to add 3270 graphics to an existing Duchess 6 installation. 2007-02-18 - Release 1.00 - Provide programmed symbol support. Note: If assembling with HLASM specify an OPTABLE setting in the parameter which does not recognize z/Architecture binary floating-point instructions. You could use OPTABLE(ESA) or OPTABLE(XA) or OPTABLE(370), for example. If this is not done invocations of a macro called SDB will not assemble correctly.

Updated 2nd June 2010 - do not increment ESDID for LD, ER and WR ESD entries. Updated 12th June 2010 - increment ESDID for all ESD types except LD. Utility by Tom Armstrong which runs between Assemble (or compile) and Link Edit steps to clean up the object deck. Source and load module supplied. Most object decks contain CSECTs which are not fully initialized, and which may not end on a doubleword boundary. These parts of the load module end up containing residual data from linkage editor buffers which can vary from compile to compile and make the detection of overlays more difficult. INITOBJ will insert extra TXT records containing nulls or the specified FILL character so that CSECTs are fully initialized and unneeded private code CSECTs are not generated to fix doubleword alignment shortfalls. Summary report is by WTO or detailed report to the optional REPORT file if present.
A package of MVS recreational software by my good friend Lex Eremin (1956-02-29 to 2001-12-25).
C program by Jason Winter to sequentialise load modules into REVLMOD format. It performs the same function as the OFFLOAD subcomand of REVIEW when used on load modules, but can be used as a stand-alone TSO command or batch job utility. Source as well as ready-to-link object deck included.
Updated 29th November 2009 - improve ISPF stats handling. The latest load module for all z/OS, OS/390, MVS and probably OS/360 versions.
Updated 10th May 2009. The latest source for all z/OS, OS/390, MVS and probably OS/360 versions.
As from Release 44 GA (January 2014), all REVIEW downloadable components can be accessed from the REVIEW home page where you can track the latest release of each component and choose which parts you want to download.

Updated 3rd October 2003 for Release 37.0. This is an MVS 3.8-oriented repackaging of the REVLMOD utility. If you have already installed REVLMOD then you do not need to reinstall it. This packaging is a ZIP file of an ASCII job stream to assemble (IFOX00) and link the REVLMOD program. The function of REVLMOD is to reconstruct load modules from EBCDIC or binary card images (fixed-length 80-byte records). This allows the transmission of executable programs in sequential files to and from systems which may or may not have the TSO/E TRANSMIT/RECEIVE facility (ie. between old systems and new systems, IBM systems and non-IBM systems, emulated systems and "real" systems). The sequential files are constructed using the REVIEW command, or the OFFLMOD program. REVLMOD source and a job stream using the High Level Assembler is available via the REVIEW home page. Click here for a background discussion on installing software with REVLMOD, with sample JCL. Click here for a background discussion on PDS member offload and reload processing. The load modules downloadable from this page are shipped in REVLMOD format. Volker Bandke's MVS Turnkey CD #3 comes with REVLMOD installed.
Updated 16th April 2006. An ASCII job stream to assemble and link the SHOWDS TSO command (with alias SDS) and install the TSO HELP member. SHOWDS can display VTOC information without allocating the data set and can process either a data set name or a DD name, which also means it is easy to check on temporary data sets. Another Bill Godfrey gem - once you've used it you won't want to use LISTDS again.
2016 update: Package by Tom Armstrong to allow the simulation of various z/Architecture instructions under MVS/370 by using the MVS SPIE facility. Macros to allow IFOX00 to assemble the supported instructions are also supplied, as well as a general front-end program to allow the execution of existing load modules. Supported instructions for simulation are:
Updated 26th January 2010. An ASCII job stream to install a 3270 TSO version of the UNIX game called SNAKE. The maximum supported screen size is now increased to 16,384 display locations which is the limit for 14-bit addressing.
An ASCII job stream to install the SPY command to monitor console screens from TSO. SPY needs to be APF authorised (achieved by being registered in CSECT IKJEFTE2) because at some release (3.7? 3.8?) MVS moved the console screen buffers into a fetch protected subpool. (This was a good move for system security/integrity, of course.) SPY forms the basis of IMON option OC. SPY uses macros from MACLIB, AMODGEN and APVTMACS, so customise the JCL accordingly.
Assembler function by Tom Armstrong to allow data from the SPF stats of the SYSIN member to be assigned to source code symbols (using the Assembler SETCF instruction) which can then be promulgated to the resultant load module. This allows a load module to be precisely matched to a specific copy of the source code with not only date and time and size matching, but also the VV.MM and the userid - or just a subset of these. Assembler source code only provided. To assemble you'll need an Assembler which this function could work with such as HLASM (for z/OS) or the Tachyon Legacy Assembler (for MVS 3.8). This function only works if the Assembler source code is read from SYSIN (and not an override file name) and only if SYSIN points to a PDS (or PDSE) member with SPF statistics.
Updated 17th October 2003 to level 11.3 to fix SB00 abend. An ASCII job stream to install the TERMTEST command for TSO terminal testing and problem diagnosis. TERMTEST does not use the CPPL so it can actually be called as a program if need be. As well as displaying terminal "hardware" characteristics TERMTEST also provides a primitive (but functional) symbol editor, with the ability to write out the Assembler source DC statements for easy incorporation into the source code of other full screen applications.
A VTAM test application written by Binyamin Dissen. This version was produced by slightly hacking the CBT file 485 version to better suit the free VTAM of MVS 3.8.
An ASCII job stream to install a 3270 TSO version of the UNIX game called WORM. Can you become the top wormoglodyte? This version includes Worm-O-Matic - the worm autopilot which can be a bit of a CPU hog, so there is an optional one or two decimal digit program parameter or command operand which specifies the target maxmum TCB CPU time percentage. A breakthrough in mainframe games technology. A version translated into PL/I for OS/2 is also included.
Updated 3rd June 2018 to fix resetting for the next volume. Source code for the SUPERLST/XVTCLIST VTOC listing and volume space mapping utility. It is high-performance because it reads a whole VTOC track with a single EXCP. This version has been back-levelled for MVS 3.8J (CVAF support commented out, changed so that it can be assembled by IFOX00 with MVS 3.8 macro libraries). Further, the DSCB-per-track number is now obtained from the format-4 DSCB instead of from a pre-coded table, so emulated disks with incorrect geometry numbers (for the device type) in the VTOC can still be processed properly. The source PDS is shipped here in XMIT format. The assemble and link JCL is in member XVTOCASM. Sample JCL to run it is in member SUPERLST. Feedback
