Re: Re: Trouble Trying to install latest RPF

Ron,

You can capture your Hercules commands with :

log <logfilename>

so do a :

log logtest
devlist
log lognew  (closes the logfile)

Then you should end up with a 'logtest' file in your hercules
directory, and you can post the results here.

If your 'devinit' is  successful, it should show something like :

devinit 0c jcl\mike\rpf_S.jcl
HHCPN098I Device 0:000C initialized

The 'devlist' command will show which devices Hercules was able to
initialize on startup and what their status is.

There should also be a <hercules dir>/log/hardcopy.log file which is a
log of the mvs/jes console.
