1.0 INTRODUCTION
_________________
This product, the IBM High Level Assembler for Linux on zSeries
(5799-TCQ), should be installed using the Redhat Package Manager (RPM).
This README file describes the process of transferring the product files
from 3480 tape, up to a host system and across to the linux system
which will be the target of the RPM installation.
2.0 3480 TAPE CONTENTS
_______________________
The 3480 tape is labeled and has a VOLSER of 5799TC. There are four
files on the 3480 tape, which are:
No. DSNAME RECFM LRECL BLKSIZE Description
___ ________________ _____ _____ _______ _________________________
1 README FB 80 27920 This file
2 H3100300.PDF U 0 32760 IPLA Licence for 5799-TCQ
3 ASML1010.PDF U 0 32760 User's Guide
4 ASMA90.RPM U 0 32760 RPM Package
2.1 RPM PACKAGE CONTENTS
The product files contained within ASMA90.RPM itself are:
Filename Description
_____________ ________________________________________________________
asma90 The HLASM executable file
asma90.map Map file for the HLASM executable
ASMAXT2E OBJ-to-ELF Converter exit executable
asmaxt2e.map Map file for the OBJ-to-ELF Converter exit executable
README Information about the asma90 product
runasma90 Sample execution script
3.0 FILE TRANSFER PROCESS
__________________________
The files on the 3480 tape should firstly be uploaded to a host system.
The four files are sequential data sets which can be copied to DASD
using JCL and program IEBGENER (for z/OS), or equivalent utilities for
z/VM or z/VSE.
Once the files are on DASD, then normal ftp can be used to transfer
them to the linux system. The type of transfer and resulting linux
filenames are:
Host DSNAME Transfer Type Linux Filename
________________ _____________ _________________________________
README ASCII README
H3100300.PDF Binary h3100300.pdf
ASML1010.PDF Binary asml1010.pdf
ASMA90.RPM Binary asma90-1.5.0-3.s390.rpm
The RPM package ASMA90.RPM must be renamed during or after the file
transfer so that RPM will correctly recognize the package.
The RPM package is the only file that is actually needed to be present
on the linux system for the RPM installation to succeed. The other
files can be transferred to any suitable computer platform which allows
viewing of text and pdf files.
3.1 SAMPLE Z/OS JCL
The following JCL can be used to copy the files from the 3480 tape up
to a host z/OS system. Add an appropriate JOB statement for the host
system and change 'hlq' to an appropriate data set qualifier.

4.0 RPM PACKAGE INSTALLATION
_____________________________
Once the RPM package has been transferred to the linux system,
installation of the product is a straight forward RPM install:
rpm -v --prefix /usr/ --install asma90-1.5.0-3.s390.rpm
The User's Guide asml1010.pdf contains more detail to assist with
planning for the installation, performing the installation, and
executing the asma90 product under linux.
