I'm interested in sharing information, tools, tips, techniques on using the Dignus Systems/ASM 1.85 cross assembler with Windows 7 Professional for use on z/OS 1.12 (z/196).
The Dignus web site makes reference to using Visual Studio as an integrated
development environment with its products. I have a 2010 Visual Studio and
Systems/ASM license and would be curious to know of others developing assembler
code in this configuration. In addition, my Windows desktop editor of choice
is NotePad++. How about Eclipse? I do not have a RDz license.
IMHO, Slickedit is a much better option. It has full language support
for HLASM including tagging/context assist. Slickedit comes either as a
stand alone product or an Eclipse plugin.
Seeing as you are cross-compiling (lucky you!) you don't need RDz. You
can use putty to execute a remote script to ftp the object module and
call the binder. Dovetail Technologies has a spiffy
(free) product called data set pipes which could do the same.
I'm surprised Dignus don't mention Slickedit. It was Dave Rivers that
put me onto it about ten years ago. I've configured Slickedit to compile
Dignus/C, Dignus/ASM and Tachyon ASM. It takes about 10 minutes.
