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

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