When you go into Shopz, then select Linux products and search for "HLASM" 
in the product description, it will reveal "HLASM z/VM Linux on z" 
(5799-TCQ).  That's what you order to get the needed files.  As far as I 
know, the Linux files are not included in the z/OS or z/VM packages.

Re: High Level Assembler for Linux on Z

[Mark Pace]

Really hate to dredge up this old thread - but - I'm trying to find the
HLASM RPM to install in Linux.  I just installed HLASM on my z/VM system
from an electronic SDO.  I can not find the RPM that is supposedly
included.  I've checked every minidisk on the installation ID.  Has anyone
successfully found the ASMA90.RPM file?

Re: High Level Assembler for Linux on Z

[Scott Rohling]

I have not done this, but my understanding is you get the rpm file off the
3480 tape (using z/OS, z/VM or z/VSE utilities) and then ftp it to Linux.
  I would hope there is someway to get electronic delivery of the rpm as
well - but don't know.The doc only refers to 3480 tape, which seems
kind of old school..

Bottom line - get the rpm file off the tape or from Shopz somehow,
somewhere so that you can get it to Linux.

Re: High Level Assembler for Linux on Z

[Davis, Larry (National VM Capability)]

Then just order the VM HLASM and that should give you access to the Linux RPM. 
Later you will have to convert the CP HLASM license to an PRPQ per IFL License 
if IBM is nice they should convert it straight over.

As you already observed, hardly anybody will encourage you to use
assembler in Linux for System z. It's a Linux thing. I use the GNU
Assembler on my Intel Linux desktop, cross assembling to s390 or s390x
ELF object all the time. If you are running Linux in your shop, you
already have it installed on the mainframe. If you want to try it out on
a Linux desktop it is easy to intall there.

I am not one of the assembler nay-sayers. GNU Assembler is absolutely a
different dialect of mainframe assembler and there will be things you
have to get used to with it. It will cause you to think differently
about your assembler programs, too. Once past that, it is surprisingly
powerful. It has conditional assembly and macros, different than HLASM
of course. If you intend to integrate anything with C, you will want
access to the s390 or s390x ABI's for the mainframe. Google for them.
There is also a SHARE presentation or two on this topic. Check out the
archives.

I will be happy to answer any questions you have here or off list.

Gunter, the answer to your question depends a lot on your environment.
If you want to port existing mainframe HLASM code, you can use
HLASM for zLinux; the User Guide (SC18-9611) is available online.

The sources for the kernel and libc have extensive bodies in assembler.

The assembler is called 'as' (traditional Unix assembler name) or 'gas' 
(for 'GNU assembler).


Brief hi-performance or specialty routines that can be coded in assembly 
files or, if brief enough,

inline right in your C source

GNU C is the lowest-level language commonly used for Linux programming 
off-z. Your needs

may be different than the world at large.

The simpliest way is to get HLASM for z/Linux. Or Systems/ASM from Dignus 
http://dignus.com/dasm/ . Or Tachyon z/Assembler from Tachyon 
http://www.tachyonsoft.com/txaover.html . 

Or do you mean using the freebie assembler that comes with Linux? shudder I 
wouldn't even try. Just embed your assembler code inside C code as needed.

Re: assembler and LINUX

[Richard J Moore]

There are books on Linux assembler programming,  for example: Linux
Assembly Language Programming by Bob Nevlen. However this book and similar
ones assume you're on x86. So you need to adapt what you're reading. Having
said that, most assembly code is written by dropping into in-line assembler
in gcc c-code - and I warn you the syntax is taxing. Info gcc will get you
going.
Another possibility is to use nasm (or yasm) - now I'm not sure whether
this is ported to s390. It's certainly a native assembler for x86 and based
in look and feel on MS masm.

And don't forget gas - the gnu assembler.

All of these suggestions are based on my experience with x86 assembler
programming. For s/390 I don't assemble under Linux. I use HLASM under CMS.

The may be other preferred tools for native Linux 390 assembly programming.

Re: assembler and LINUX

[David Boyes]

1) Avoid assembler. Assembler is rarely used in Linux for anything other than 
low-level kernel and device driver development. Use C wherever possible -- it 
makes your applications the most portable. 

2) Read The Unix Programming Environment by Kernigan and Plauger. It will 
help you understand the basic development environment that is ubiquitous in the 
Unix/Linux world. 

3) Find an old PC and install the distribution you want to use on it. Use that 
to experiment with the environment. 

4) Repeat 3 until happy.

 Hello !
 I am an experienced assembler programmer, BUT I do not have any clue how
 to write , assemble  etc. in  LINUX  ,   where do I start   ??   Any help
 is appreciated . Thanks Gunter

 You can use Systems/ASM to generate Linux programs in HLASM-style
 syntax.

 Systems/ASM generates native ELF-format files with little-to-no-change
 in the HLASM syntax, allowing one to port z/OS programs to z/Linux.

 You can also debug those programs with the GNU debugger available
 on z/Linux.

 See http://www.dignus.com/dasm/ for more info.   In particular, you
 may want grab the documentation and see the chapter on writing
 Linux programs.

gas, part of the gnu compiler suite, is the standard supported assembler
on (most? all?) linuxes.

As other posters mentioned, though, programming in assembly is
incredibly rare, and only done in very specific niches.  Otherwise, at
least program in c, if not something higher.

If you're very experienced in assembler, transitioning to c will be
relatively painless.  Many of the issues that people have a hard time
wrapping their technique around, such as pointers and memory
(de)allocation, are very familiar to assembly coders.

Re: assembler and LINUX

[Richard Gasiorowski]

My guess is you speak of s390 assembler which gas is not. It is more
like UNIX assembler.  A good starting point for you to go to and see if
you REALLY want to venture into this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

I think you will agree that it lacks the versatility of BAL s390.

[Richard J Moore]

I'd much rather write in asm any day. C drives me mad. As for c++ that -
shoot me now . I understand why old mainframe hacks would rather use asm.
The instruction set is pretty high-level compared with many. And when
you've coded in horizontal microcode mainframe asm is near as damn it
COBOL.

I was researching the wares on offer at one of the local PC shops, this
one going under the hammer. I finished up not going, but on offer was an
intel mobo with preattached Atom processor. Normally retails here for
just over the $AU100. Add 2GB DDR2 RAM, a (special) case, a disk (laptop
disk?) and Bob's your uncle.

CPU power consumption? This is the greedy one of the Atom line at 8W.
Not 80, just 8. Thinks no fan, green-friendly, reasonable performance.
Probably would run Hercules well enough for small-scale zAssembly work.

You get (1) a license for any number of users, (2) complete

The main added function is the ability to generate ELF object.

Your local IBM rep should be able to track down the info for you.
The announcement letters are P88100 and P88101.

I believe the base license is $8000 OTC and $1200 annual Service

zLinux assembler is licensed under IPLA terms and conditions.

Free mainframe assembler for Linux/390

[David Bond]

The Tachyon Legacy Assembler is a new, free offering from Tachyon Software.
It is a HLASM-compatible assembler that runs on mainframes and produces
object code for IBM's z/OS, OS/390, TPF, VSE and VM/CMS operating systems.
Currently, the free Tachyon Legacy Assembler only runs on Linux for S/390
and zSeries, but plans are to produce z/OS, OS/390 and MVS 3.8 versions.

For more information about the Tachyon Legacy Assembler and how to obtain a
copy, please visit http://www.tachyonsoft.com/legacy.html

Enjoy!
David Bond - Tachyon Software LLC - http://www.tachyonsoft.com
See me at SHARE/SCIDS in San Francisco.  I'm giving the Assembler University
sessions 8139 (64-bit coding) and 8158 (Assembler for Linux/390).
