I'm utterly clear on the role of the POP versus the role of the HLASM doc. How does one "turn on" the new op codes, then? My (z/OS R13 collection) HLASM documentation of the MACHINE option (for example) ends with "ZSERIES-4 Same as MACHINE(ZSERIES-3) but with the addition of support for the z10 instructions."

The HLASM docs are only updated when the Assembler is updated in a way that affects usage; adding new hardware ops doesn't change the Assembler interfaces. John Ehrman once pointed out to me that even some of the new extended mnemonics are found in the PoO, not the HLASM docs (which is where I expected to find them). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
