Thanks, having had the privilege of developing code under VM/CMS in the past I do have knowledge of the MACLIB format and would be comfortable writing the needed Rexx to convert the libraries should I need them.
Working them into the official development environment for approved use is a different kettle of fish entirely. Is the request you mentioned a SHARE requirement or an IBM RFE? In any case, can you point us where to vote on that request? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John P. Hartmann Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Structured Programming Macros Ah so. You might find the macro libraries on the pipelines home page. You'll need a VM friend to convert them to IEBUPDTE format. Or you could write a piece of REXX to convert if you understand the CMS library format. It is rumoured they are now being used in the CP component; they will certainly assemble on z/OS. No chance with IFOX (the MVT 21.8 assembler). Won't get you pipes on z/OS (but there is even a request you can vote for open now). On 05/12/2016 06:18 PM, Farley, Peter x23353 wrote: > Excuse me for the confusion, certainly not.
