Hi Dan,
I know Don Higgins is working on bringing z390 up-to-date regarding the
current P-o-Ops
There are now only Don and I trying to keep z390 development going, you
would be most welcome to join us
Although Java skills are needed most, I could use a buddy to oversee and
test my Assembler development work for zVSAM V2
Melvyn Maltz.

Subject: z390 Macros for Newer Instructions
I continue to noodle around with z390 and regularly find myself missing
support for newer instructions (z390.org indicates that the latest
instructions supported are for the z10, circa 2008). Being a Java moron,
updating the source to support newer ops was beyond my ken.
I finally got tired of coding various macros in support of newer
instructions, so I gleaned a list of newer mnemonics from the "IBM
z/Architecture Reference Summary" (SA22-7871-10) and extended mnemonics from
the PoO (SA22-7832-12), and with a little calisthenics, converted them into
889 macros (there are a lot of extended vector mnemonics). You are welcome
to examine the results at:

CAVEAT EMPTOR! Absolutely no warranty is implied or expressed! Got it? None!
Zippo!! Zilch!!! The macros are simple minded, with no operand validation;
so, if you code a general register higher than 15 or a vector register
higher than 31, or if you omit an operand, bad things may happen. If you so
happen to trip over an inaccurate result, a response posted to this message
may (or may not) result in an update.
