Thanks for all your responses.
Yes, we are fully licensed for RSCS. I realize that the timing could hav
e
been better, but I didn't order the new release. That was done by my
predecessor, who quit suddenly. For legal reasons I can't contact that
person.
Regardless, I am now in the situation I'm in. In looking back on our old
system, I don't think the exits were re-assembled; rather they were re-
linkedited. The TEXT files have a pretty old date, but the EXITLIB LOADL
IB
is much more recent.
The option to use the new FL540 of RSCS came from IBM from an ETR I
opened. Not their first piece of advice.
This morning I compared my newly-created TEXT files from my assemble and
except for the date they are the same, so the assembler seemed to work.
I'm fairly certain these exits are in use. I used a tool called Track to
look at RSCS virt storage on our 5.2 system, because I was also curious
about that. It shows:
Base= 0000000000000000 Real address=
00000001B2F99400

The EXITLIB LOADLIB is the customized library.
Dave, thanks for pointing me to the Exit manual. I did manage to find th
e
correct PROFILE GCS on the 5.2 system and it does indeed point to EXITLIB
.
I'm new enough that I still have trouble locating proper files.
The Exit manual also mentions the HLASM several times. Alan, I understan
d
the reasoning behind using modern assemblers, but I spent more time than
I
needed to trying to figure out why I couldn't use the one specified in th
e
manual.
Thanks again for your responses. I'll let you know if I have any sort of
success.
