As we had been using the stack storage concept since the late 1970's, with a
suite of entry, exit, call and DSA macros, it was relatively easy to make all of
our assembler programs LE-compliant for our 1998 release. For most assembler
programmers, however, the thought of LE seems akin to entering the den of the
basilisk.
We can fix that:
Using LE Services in z/OS - 3 days
- includes coding LE-conforming assembler programs

But, of course, it takes management direction to take that path.

For reasons that I have never really understood assembly-language
programmers almost always use heap storage for DSAs instead of the
stack storage they should use. (Their failure to use an extension of
such a stack-based DSA for scratch/automatic/local storage is a
little, but only a little, more excusable.)
