Paul Well that is a nice Christmas present. As far as I know, you are the first to report successfully running z390 on Mac/OS. The execution trace of the "Hello World" demo program demo\HELLO.MLC shows the assemly, link, and execution worked.
All you need is the base z390 v1.5.03 install which you have already done. All the regression test programs are in the optional zip file z390_v1503_rt.zip which can be unziped to root z390 directory creating the z390\rt directory including z390\rt\test subdirectory with the folling instruction tests: 1) rt\test\TESTINS1.MLC - test assembly of all z1l z196 instructions 2) rt\test\TESTINS2.MLC - test execution of all problem state instructions up to z9/z10 3) rt\test\TESTINS3.MLC - test execution of z9/z10 problem state instructions 4) rt\test\TESTINS4.MLC - test execution of new z196 problem state instructions What you can do with z390 is develop and unit test mainframe assembler code on Windows, Linus, and now MAc/OS. The ASMLG command will assemble, link, and execute HLASM compatible assembler program. Limitations include source must be in ASCII and only the system macros provided in z390\mac directory are currently supported. Although it is possible to upload OBJ, it is highly recommended programs be reassembled from srouce for porting to pickup correct system macro interfaces. The common MVS compatible z390 system services macros are only compatible at the macro call interface level and not the svc interface. Don Higgins [email protected]
