High Level Assembler

2010-10-26 Thread Hughes, Jim
Is High Level Assembler a free part of z/VM 5.4?? I don't see the bills and I am very curious. We are running on a z/890 if it matters. Thanks. Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 It is fun to do the impossible.

Something I've been wondering for a while is: We have a license for High Level Assembler for z/OS on our box, does that also cover using High Leve l Assembler for z/VM on the same box, or does that require a second license? If it's all covered by one license, is there any special proces s to

Hi, Brian. I am almost positive that you will new two separate licenses, one for z/OS and the other for z/VM. Of course, double check with your friendly local IBM sale person, as I could be mistaken. DJ On 10/26/2010 12:02 PM, Brian Nielsen wrote: Something I've been wondering for a while

I know of one software company that keeps all its VSE Source on Endevor and modifies it on ISPF under TSO and Assembles it on zOS with Maclibs copied from VSE to zOS. Then the Object Module is ftped to VSE and linked on VSE.. Works good... Julian Wall Brian Nielsen wrote: True.

Actually, I ripple the source, extract the needed macro definitions from their maclibs and the first step of my z/OS job constructs a temp maclib for the assemble step. Just a little fun plumbing. -- Mike Harding The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU wrote on 10/26/2010 11:59:42
