HLASM is required only if you don't like the default configuration and you don't like the alternate HCPRWA that is supplied (which changes a 'defer' to 'deny'.) If anyone is thinking about purchasing HLASM for z/VM (from IBM or Dignus) just to change the RACF or HCPRWA configuration, give the Support Center a call. They may be able to do a "courtesy compile" for you. >On z/OS - HLASM "comes with" the operating system, but, I don't believe >that is the case on z/VM. It is true that HLASM is not included with z/VM.
