Might easier alternatives be WTO or QSAM PUT to a DD allocated to
PATH('/dev/fd/2')?
Where are there useful examples/tutorials?
I experimented with assembler ("Macro") on decsystem-10. Even if less
feature-laden
than HLASM, it struck me as more unified in design. For example, one could code
instructions in literals (why not?) which would have been great for EX, before
LOCTR.
