Re: VarIabLe DD names in VSAM

Referring to Chris's comment -...extensively commented assembler programs ...- I'm all in favour of well commented code - I believe 'good comments' should be mandatory. But what is a 'good comment'? Who hasn't seen something like: MVCC89FLA,C60MGT move C60MGT to C89FLA or even (shock

Use of sequence numbering in current HLASM

Sequence numbers is one of those topics where opinions divide. HLASM - written in HLASM, has had their sequence numbers stripped and stored in UTF8 on a Jazz server. We use RTC and Jazz for HLASM. Its an integrated system - source control and project management, all together in RTC. Not only

Extended Mnemonics After Unsigned Arithmetic

Ed, I think a SHARE requirement would be a useful start to discussing additional extended mnemonics. I'd follow that up with a HLASM RFE request. How do we start the SHARE requirement ? and would you expect to discuss this at Boston or before ? Sharuff Sharuff Morsa HLASM IBM Hursley Unless
