> the perplexing x'15' that z/OS expects. EBCDIC '15'X is NL, a perfectly reasonable end-of-line character. Eunix uses LF for that purpose, rather than CRLF, which is less reasonable. EBCDIC '0D'X is CR and '25'X is LF.

The files will be extracted to z/OS UNIX directory which is friendly to extension names. HLASM ought to learn to deal with extensions. Most cross-assemblers can do so. The first 4 commands in README.md merely say "Copy". This is pretty vague. The x'25' linebreaks lead me to suspect the developers built and tested from an ASCII tree with a cross-assembler then converted to EBCDIC using a non-z tool that was unaware of the idiosyncratic z/OS line separator convention. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
