In chapter 4 of the z/VM General Information Manual, there is a list of
tasks that requires the use of HLASM in z/VM:
High Level Assembler
Although not a prerequisite for z/VM, the IBM High Level Assembler, V1.6
(5696-234) or later, or an equivalent product, is required for several
tasks, such as:
v Creating a new DMSTRT for system languages (NLS)
v Creating image libraries for system printers (FCBs)
v Creating GCS application segments (CONTENTS macro)
v Accessing major CMS application interfaces (CMSCALL)
v Accessing most CP application interfaces (DIAGNOSE)
v Modifying the AVS tuning control module (AGWTUN)
v Using RAS tools (such as MDCHECK, FS2SFSER, AFTCHAIN, PRINTBLK, and
PRINTFST)
v Using the API for data compression
v Using the CMS Pipelines assembler macro interface
v Customizing Language Environment or compiling assembler routines used in
mixed-language user applications
v Creating applications that exploit the IEEE Floating Point hardware
facility
v Adding devices that cannot be sensed without using SET RDEVICE (that is,
by updating HCPRIO ASSEMBLE)
v Applying local modifications to modules written in assembler
v Servicing the CP Loader (HCPLDR)
v Assembling any CP modules
v Assembling exit routines for CP, DirMaint, or RSCS
v Reassembling CP replacement parts for the RACF Security Server for z/VM
v Migrating (converting) a file containing I/O Configuration Program (IOCP)
statements into an existing HCD I/O Definition File (IODF)
If you do not do any of these things or have plans to do any of them, then
you might not need to purchase HLASM or an equivalent product.

Thank you, Clovis, I was wondering why?
I do not know that and it did not leave me with a "warm and fuzzy" feeling.
But thank you for letting me know.
Now I will be able to sleep at night.

Sorry, George.
My mistake.
HLASM isn't imbedded into z/VM. If needed, must be acquired separately.

ty, Clovis, but PK97799 is not an EREP APAR.
VM64807 (#3 below) is the Non-SES EREP APAR to which I believe you refer.
I was able to apply VM64807 following the instructions in the EREP PGMDIR
which were quite good.
PK97799 (#1 below), however, is an HLASM SES APAR which I have been told
did not go on because I probably do not have HLASM on z/VM.

George,
That is a correction for a NON-SES product: EREP.
Not managed by SERVICE/PUT2PROD.
See "Service Guide" how to apply NON-SES PTFs.

All 14 z196 compatibility APARs listed below went on fine except for
PK97799.
SES says there is not service for this APAR.
How can there be no service?

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196Link
Well the list of z196 (alias 2817) compatibility APARs has grown. Here are
all 14 now in alphanumeric order:
PK97799
VM64656
VM64672
VM64747
VM64774
VM64793
VM64798
VM64799
VM64807
VM64818
VM64820
VM64879
VM64881
VM64891
btw: The only way I could find the page in the link Clovis supplied was by
searching SHOPZ on 2817 the other name for a z196.

The above lists the minimum CP APARs (for 5.4 and 6.1) required to apply
prior to IPLing on a z196. Mike is listing CMS, PerfKit, and
pre-requisite APARs.
Since the above list was generated, CP APAR VM64891 should also be
applied. Also, to add to Mike's pre-requisite list below, VM64818.
