BREXX/370 V2R5M3

This is release V2R5M3 of BREXX/370 for MVS3.8j.

There are multiple BREXX zip files available depending on the version
of MVS you are running.

The BREXX ZIP file contains the following:

  • BREXX.V2R5M3.XMIT
  • BREXX370_Users_Guide.pdf - Contains the BREXX/370 Installation
    instructions and the REXX programming reference.
  • /html - Contains the same contents as BREXX370_Users_Guide.pdf but is
    in html form.
  • BREXX.V2R5M3.jcl - Same as BREXX.V2R5M3.XMIT above but
    delivered as an EBCDIC jcl file with the XMIT file included in the file
    itself. When submitted, this JCL will unxmit the included BREXX xmit file
    to BREXX.V2R5M3.INSTALL. Since the file is in EBCDIC you might need
    to modify your 3505 reader to read ebcdic. See below for the commands.
    You can then submit the JCL file with:
    cat BREXX.V2R5M3.jcl|ncat <hercules host ip address> 3505

Changing 3505 from ASCII to EBCDIC:

To change the 3505 card reader in hercules from ASCII to EBCDIC you need to
issue the following commands in the hercules console (or webserver):

  1. Detach the current reader: detach c
  2. Reattach the reader: attach c 3505 3505 sockdev ebcdic trunc eof

To change it back:

  1. Detach the current reader: detach c
  2. Reattach the reader: attach c 3505 3505 sockdev ascii trunc eof
