Why do you doubt it? Is it because you hope it doesn’t? Certainly, one of you 
assembler geniuses could test it.

Like Mullins said, and others mentioned, most companies that run z/OS don’t 
need assembler programmers. That numbers in the thousands if not ten thousand. 
Whereas ISV’s who are the likely users of Assembler programming, number in the 
hundreds, maybe. So install on Systems Programmers.

I doubt it will assemble. And even if it does, the results are 
unpredictable, other than it will probably ABEND for one reason 
or another.

There are no DCB, OPEN, CLOSE macros while GET and PUT are being 
used.

Me thinks this AI system is confusing a few different assembly 
languages together. I wonder how close they came for DOS I/O.
