Several years ago, I moved all my assembler code for my products from VM
to my Linux desktop. I now use THE, Dignus ASM, and 'make' processes to
compile my products which are linked and tested on z/VSE.
I have converted several of my prefix macros to be dual-mode. The same
source works in
The big difference in prefix macro processing is that THE
runs them in the order they were entered, not top to bottom
as Xedit does.
I haven't done much with them, but another member of RexxLA
has overcome the difference. I could send you one of his
macros to use as a model, if you'd like.
The problem is not the order they are processed, but instead is a
problem of how they are stored when using:
'EXTRACT /PENDING OLDNAME' macroname
where macroname is derived from:
parse source os . macroname macroft macrofm name .
parse arg pref func pline op extra '(' options
if os = 'UNIX'
I am working on a project where I am porting some C code from linux to
VM, so that I can compile it on z/VSE.
As you can imagine, the 72 characters per line restriction is a problem.
Has anybody else found a way to automate the conversion that they can
share? As mentioned in another thread, I

I have not used VM C for several years, but I think that I remember that there
is a compiler option to say do the whole record and not just 1-72.

I am not as worried about 72 or 80 as I am the lines from the pc that

since I am sending the program source though the Power reader, 80 will
be the max although I would prefer 72 due to editing the program with xedit.
Where can THE be gotten? I've heard of it, but have never had it or
tried it. Is it usable as a general purpose PC editor or is it really
only usable as a PC resident mainframe tool?

I used it for some pc file editing, but some linux files require that I
use a 'true' pc style editor. (Like when editing 'make' files.)

Why not FTP to z/VSE to compile straight from Linux? (Still not sure
if the C compiler will handle anything greater than 80 though.)

Phil,
Have you considered getting involved with the Linux VM Program (LVM) at
SHARE? In particular, the LVM Technical Steering Committee has been working
with IBM on this sort of topic for a number of years. I know they're always

Phil, I'll 2nd your opinion that 4 systems in the SSI is meager. I'm already
in a quandary there with 4 prod systems and capacity planning asking where we
put the next ones. So now I'm not sure if we step into SSI with all 4 or have
to immediately start with 2 plexes. If two, we're giving up

Depends on how far, right?
You have to share DASD so PPRC distances apply.
You probably need the same subnet so you need a consultation with your network
folks.
But should be doable if you do those things (at least that's the plan here).

I always run mine in xedit compatibility mode because I am normally
