Yes, HMCS is supported by z/OS 2.1 and higher. However the HMC facility was available long before that. z/VM and Linux were able to use it. For z/VM it's crucial, since the current installation method (DVD of ftp) do require use of SYSG (another name for the console). BTW: If you have HMCS

ASMA215W is a lie, at least on z/OS. GOFF is not required for relocating LARLs. I have a *PROCESS SUPRWARN(215) in a lot of my programs. The nice thing about RIMM-type RLD entries is that Program Fetch doesn't have to bother with them, only the binder does. sas On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 11:27

I've run into this before on the Assembler List. Yes, it should logically work, and I guess it's just one of the edge cases that HLASM hasn't sorted out yet. I switched to LARL; it works, and isn't any less efficient or straightforward really. Generally, I think HLASM needs to overhaul the way
