Issuing a Hercules command from CMS

[Robert O'Hara]

I would like to be able to issue a command to Hercules from within a CMS EXEC.

I observe that Hercules provides the capability to issue a command via Diagnose 8.  Thus it should be possible to create a CP command that issues that Diagnose 8, and the CP command can be called from an EXEC.

Has anyone already implemented this?

Thanks, Bob

There is a HCP command for VM/370 floating around (should be in the file
area)..

This CP command issues a DIAG 8 with the command arguments to the
underlying system (hercules or the previous level of VM if running a 2nd
level VM).

Depending on where you got your copy of VM/370 from, it may already be
in there.

Bob,
Its in the 4/5/6 pack. I think it's the HCP command. Note it has to be a CP
command not a CMS command....

P.S. its NOT Class "G" either, and make sure you have an "up-to-date"
Hercules as until recently it mis-calculated the return length and could
return one byte too many giving a FRE013 if the command output exceeded 4k
