And the short comings in the Asm H are the main reasons that there is a HLASM. Many of us were using Asm H with the SLAC mods to get around those short comings. When SLAC dropped support for the mods as they moved off of the mainframe (and Greg left), we discussed it at several meetings at SHARE. John Ehrman had recently moved from SLAC to IBM and offered to see if he could get some IBM support to make similar changes to the IBM assembler.
So we spent lots of time over several SHAREs discussing and writing requirements to get the most used SLAC mods and other things (like what is now in the Toolkit). Thanks John.
