Andy, If you want to do self teaching, on AMAZON the following books are ones I used over 20 years ago. For basic Assembler Instruction they are all decent. The one everyone drools over now is out of print and apparently very pricey.
The following books appear to be available with a 1-2 day ship. Not sure if that is true or not. MVS Assembler Language (Paperback) by Kevin McQuillen, Anne Prince Assembler Language Programming: The IBM System/370 Family (Hardcover) by George Struble (my fav) A Simplified Approach to S/370 Assembly Language Programming by Barbara J. Burian I have not checked out this book but it is current on Amazon. Assembler Language Programming for IBMR and IBMR Compatible Computers [Formerly 370/360 Assembler Language Programming] (Formerly 370/360, Assembler Language Programming) (Paperback) by Nancy Stern, Alden Sager, Robert A. Stern The DROOL Book - Out of Print Advanced Assembler Language and MVS Interfaces for IBM Systems and Application Programmers (Wiley professional computing) by Carmine A. Cannatello Also, another good book for learning this is: Systems Programming (McGraw-Hill computer science series) by John J. Donovan Another option would be to cruise past several universities and see if any of them offer Mainframe Assembler Programming and check to see what books they use. Might be more accessible. Hope this helps.
