Hi Mike,
It's my understanding that for RACF on z/VM you need
an assembler.
We have several customers using the Dignus assembler on z/VM
for this very purpose, to avoid the purchase price of HLASM on z/VM.
HLASM used to be a no-cost item on z/VM but now it carries a cost.
So, if you decide to go the "RACF on z/VM" road, we can help with
that component.
