Great I could find almost all the manuals I was searching for. z/OS V1R9.0 MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Reference Vol 3 is missing
thanks for everyone -----Mensagem original----- De: IBM Mainframe Assembler List <[email protected]> Em nome de Bob Raicer Enviada em: terça-feira, 26 de março de 2024 15:14 Para: [email protected] Assunto: Re: Where to find old manuals Adding to what Jonathan said, if you use the string shown below for your search argument you'll get a list of about 215 pubs: z/OS V1R9 MVS Most, but not all, of the pubs are available as PDFs. Some are only in Bookmanger format (these are .BOO files). The IBM softcopy reader for Microsoft Windows or the Java based softcopy reader (for Microsoft Windows and Linux) would be needed to read the various BOO files. If I remember correctly, the softcopy reader for Microsoft Windows was produced in executable format (the 16:16 virtual addressing scheme) which hasn't been supported in Microsoft Windows for quite some time (I think the last version which supported this was the 32-bit version of Windows 7). None of the 64-bit variants of Microsoft Windows have ever supported the 16:16 virtual addressing scheme. The URL shown below provides a very brief description of the Java based softcopy reader: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-softcopy-reader The URL shown below gets you to a site from which the Java based softcopy reader for Microsoft Windows can be downloaded: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-softcopy-reader-windows-v40-0 The URL shown below has a description of the process for installing the Java based softcopy reader on Linux: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=isrrhlp-installing-from-online-library-collection-kit-cd-rom-linux I do not know from which IBM site the Linux version (ilrjaval.tgz) can be fetched. If you would like, I can place the content of the ilrjava directory as found on the z/OS V1R8 "Tools" CD (from the IBM SK3T-4269-17 Collection) on a site such as Dropbox for you; let me know.
