os job control and 1014 emulator control statements must be present
for each emulated 1014 object program. Existing 1014 programs and
their control statements need not be modified unless they use facilities
not supported by the Model 165 1014 Emulator program.
The 1014 object programs to be emulated can be placed in the input
stream, on tape, or in a sequential data set on disk (including a
partitioned data set).
A
DD statement in the input stream describes
their location. The required 1014 emulator control statements can
be provided via the operator console or in a card, tape. or disk
sequential data set identified by a specially named
DD
statement
(SYSEMCTL). They can also be placed in the input stream or in a
partitioned data set (as a member).
The 1014 Emulator program operator commands provided can be entered
via the operator's console or the input stream (located in the emulator
control statement data set). These commands provide simulation of
1014 commands on the System/310 operator's console. In addition, they
allow the operator to request a listing of an entire emulator program
area or of emulated 1014 main storage within an emulator partition
or region only.
If multiple console support (MCS) is included in the os control
program generated, emulator program messages can be routed to a specific
console device so that emulation messages are isolated.
Assuming that the 1014 (or 1010) programs to be emulated do not
use facilities or I/O devices unsupported by the Model 165 1014 Emulator
program, the following is required:
62
• OS job control and any necessary Model 165 1074 emulator control
statements must be supplied for each 1014 object program. Changes
to existing object programs and 1014 control statements are not
required. (This is true for 1074 programs being executed on a
1074 system or emulated on a Model 65.)
• Tape volumes containing files with records longer than 32,155 bytes
must be preprocessed by the tape formatting program. Tape written
in either seven- or nine-track 1014 mode can be used without
modification. (Consideration should be given to reblocking files
with short blocks in order to improve execution time and reblocking
files with long blocks to reduce-processor storage buffer
requirements.)
