I'm 37, and I'd love to be an assembler wizard. Call me crazy, but I think that would be really cool (reference my previous posts regarding TCBs, etc.) But, at this point it has to be essentially self-directed, because we have a gentleman here who is very good, ex-IBMer (started right after 360 came out), knows the internals very well, and he does the work, and the boss isn't going to send me to school, and I've got a lot on my plate (I do all the zOS Unix-related stuff, and more). It's slow going. Of course, when he has to do something related to zOS Unix, I have to do it. "What do you mean it's not mounted? What's that mean?" Every trip to OMVS or ISHELL is a guided experience.
I happen to have a copy of Cannatello's Advanced Assembler, but it lays here, unopened. No, you can't have it. I'm a music major - I need all the help I can get.
