That's rhetorical; the spelling is "whinging" regardless. sas On Mon, Dec 16, 2019 at 3:48 PM Rupert Reynolds <[email protected]> wrote: > Another question, purely out of interest: > Can the old MVS/SP code still run unchanged? > I reminisced with a friend about the day he whinged about a 64k code > segment size on Intel micros and I out-whinged him with a 4k code CSECT :-) > > Can a modern z/OS installation still assemble, link and run the old stuff, > such as the typical local utilities we all saw: > > MYPROG CSECT > MYPROG RMODE ANY > MYPROG AMODE 24 > STM 14,12,12(13) > USING ... > > If so, that's quite an achievement, both in the changes and the flexibility > of the original design! > > Rupert > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > -- sas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
