Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water...... All this started when I asked if we were licensed to use the HL Assembler Toolkit on our z/OS system. I used to be in the flow of the hardware/software process and I knew these things but no more. It just happens. ____________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "It is fun to do the impossible."

If you're looking at using HLASM on IFLs, you will need to get a Special Bid from IBM as HLASM is not otherwise offered under the terms of the IBM Program License Agreement (IPLA) needed for IFLs. Use of HLASM on IFLs is typically limited to the assembly of required system programs or configuration elements. Other uses require standard engines. But that is something you can negotiate on the special bid. If that isn't to your liking, Dignus has an HLASMesque offering as well. Finally, depending on the circumstances and your company's views on such things, IBM may even assemble the item for you gratis.
