We're running RACF on z/VM 5.3 and 5.4 without (*sob*) 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. - Dave Rivers - > (Cross posted on VMESA-L and LINUX-390) > > Hi Folks, > > I have a couple of questions on using IBM's RACF as an ESM for Linux > (z/Series or otherwise)? > > 1.
