Not true. As the technical team leader for the development of the paging
subsystem for the first release of MVS, I can attest that most of ASM,
RSM and VSM were written in PL/S (with a few exceptions). For the most
part, the GENERATE/ENDGEN approach was used for the inclusion of
instructions that the compiler would not generate (like PTLB).

That may not reliably indicate "size" in lines of PL/S code. As I recall, the
vast majority of modules were migrated to PL/S by simply wrapping them in the equivalent
of:
PROC
GENERATE
<original assembler source>
ENDGEN

I think we're comparing apples and oranges here though. S/370
assembler (you said original MVS) ¬= C/C++ lines of code or generated
object (machine) code.
