Hey, look at that! I never knew why the famous IEFBR14 was so named; now I guess maybe I do, though I won't be guessing after I look up the BR instruction).

The whole trick is done by means of leaning alternately on the philosophical and historical objection. If we say miracles are theoretically possible, they say, “Yes, but there is no evidence for them.” When we take all the records of the human race and say, “Here is your evidence,” they say, “But these people were superstitious, they believed in impossible things.” -from "Miracles and Modern Civilisation" by G K Chesterton */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Dravnieks Sent: Tuesday, September 5, 2023 04:24 If you are truly interested in learning System z assembler, then one resource you could use is the late John Ehrman's book 'Assembler Programming for IBM System z Servers' - a quick google search should find it for you. The reason I am posting this is to mention some macros detailed in Appendix B - using these macros will hide away a lot of the complexity of z/OS I/O so you can concentrate on all the other details while you learn. Here is a simple 'Hello world' program using the Printlin macro from this set: * * Hello world * Hello csect using hello,15 * PrintLin Heading,l'heading print page hdr br 14 heading dc Cl28'1 Hello World!' end hello By default, Printlin will write the output to the SYSPRINT DD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
