Is it possible that you have a device type mismatch between the
type of PC file you created, and the one MVS assumes at the
address you specified in the config file?  On MVS, you can issue
a D U (display units), and that should let you figure out what
you have and what you need. If that's not it, you'd need to
supply a lot more information on what you did, and what messages
  you're getting. Also make sure you have the latest version of
the Hercules utilities; some of the ones distributed with the
turnkey CD (and image) had errors. (I've used the tk3 version of
the utilities for dasdload w/xmit file, and had no problems)
