Developing VSE Programs under CMS
CMS simulates many functions of the Disk Operating System (DOS) VSE so you can use the interactive facilities of z/VM to develop and execute your VSE programs in a VSE virtual machine or in a batch facility virtual machine. CMS simulation of DOS is not necessarily the same as the current support of DOS. However, you can use CMS to create, compile, test, execute, and debug VSE programs written in the Assembler, DOS/VS COBOL, DOS PL/I, DOS/VS RPG-II programming languages.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
- Entering the CMS/DOS environment
- Using DOS files on DOS disks
- Using libraries in CMS/DOS
- VSE assembler language macros supported
- Assembling, link-editing, and executing source programs
- VSE supervisor and I/O macros supported by CMS/DOS
- CMS/DOS user considerations and responsibilities.
