Thank you for that link. I was not aware that IBM made closed APAR documentation available to the public.
I still think it is wrong for two major machine upgrades to have occurred and yet none of the HLASM manuals was updated. But I guess I'm just cranky today.

(It's all I use; I and my company are both morally opposed to paying money to subscribe to a support site for software whose license fees presumably include support.) I'm not entirely certain, but it may be that your generic IBM web ID allows access to open APARs. If not, you only need your IBM customer number to get that access.
