Re: IBCDASDI IPL

    IBCDASDI is an old stand-alone disk init
 utility that should be available on any OS/360
 system from 30 years ago and early MVS systems
 20 years ago.  Check SYS1.SAMPLIB.

    I suggest that you use ICKSADSF for newer
 systems.  It should be on newer MVS, VM and
 DOS/VS systems.  On VM, look for IPL DSF S or
 it may be called ICKDSF instead of DSF or
 ICKSADSF.

    If you really want IBCDASDI, see:

print out (was Re: Re: IBCDASDI IPL)

Hello!

Thanks for your input. I found the IBCDASDI standalone program on the S 
disk: IPL IBCDASDI (identifiers swapped!) and it worked like a charm.. 
However, while searching the disks for the program, does anyone know 
how to redirect
listfile output to the printer? I've tried SPOOL PRT CONT but to no 
avail.
Next thing that would be tempting is to run Volker's Turnkey MVS under 
VM, but I take it that some issues in doing so have not been fully 
resolved yet. I've managed to get MVS ipl'ing, but it complains that it 
cannot find the hardcopy device (console?). Anyway, it's for toying 
around and I simply cannot resist the fascination of  these vintage 
computer systems..

Kind regards
Michael

    I don't do VM, but here are a couple of
 suggestions.

    One way to get terminal output to a printer
 is the CP SPOOL CONS command:
 #CP SPOOL CONS FOR SYSTEM
 LISTFILE IPL * S
 #CP SPOOL CONS CLOSE

    Other ways include using command options:
 LISTFILE * * Y ( EX
 PRINT CMS EXEC A
 ERASE CMS EXEC A

    Does LISTFILE have a PRINT option?
