Debug tool conditional statement in assembler

Hi I’m trying to make a conditional breakpoint in debug tool for an assembler language program not sure what the comparator would be tried NE for not equal but it didn’t like it So for example AT 100 when fields NE C’‘ Meaning when fields not equal spaces then break -

Re: REXX SURVEY

Steve, It definitely is geared mainly toward the various Rexx implementations in the distributed world. Which is not bad at all - both in private and professional life I combine HLASM development with various other languages, depending on the task at hand. I find Rexx a very useful and flexible t

Re: REXX SURVEY

In my experience with VM, rexx is used quite a bit with CMS. And then with CMS pipes, it gets some more use. Steve Thompson On 4/1/2025 10:23 AM, Schmitt, Michael wrote: It would be funny if this open-source REXX survey ends up being swamped by closed-source TSO REXX users. -Original Mes

TSO OPER in Background TSO?

Hello, Anyone know why you can't run TSO OPER / subcommands via background TSO job? Anyone know way around this say via background SDSF or something like that? Message I get is "IKJ56623I OPER is unsupported command name in background" Thanks, -

Re: TSO OPER in Background TSO?

My guess is that it uses TPUT directly instead of using PUTLINE. Try using CONSOLE instead, assuming that you're authorized. --  Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר From: IBM Mainfr

Re: TSO OPER in Background TSO?

If I read things correctly the manual says you can't run the OPER command in background. It makes it sound like you have to have a supported terminal environment. I've not tried doing SDSF stuff with TSO. In the past I would open a console interface to issue commands. Paul -Original Mes

Re: TSO OPER in Background TSO?

Agree, you are trying to use a CONSOLE name that is already in use. "If return_code from MCSOPER is 4, after a CONSOLE ACTIVATE, then the console name is already in use. Use a different console name." Depending on the length of the user ID you could add on to the end a unique character. The do

Re: REXX SURVEY

From wiki: "Rexx was first described in public at the SHARE 56 conference in Houston, Texas, in 1981,[13] where customer reaction, championed by Ted Johnston of SLAC, led to it being shipped as an IBM product in 1982." It wasn't available for TSO until 1988. --  Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://

Joseph, Use ¬= instead of NE. See: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/debug-for-zos/16.0?topic=command-statement Laptop and modern keyboards don't have the ¬ character on a key. I customize the keyboard for my 3270 emulator session

Running OPER in Background

Dear Folks, I forgot to mention that if you want OPER to run in the background under your userid, I think you should use TSUB (which works against the LWA-pointed tables in your own userid), rather than using ASUB (which works against the PARMLIB tables in member IKJTSOxx).  If you want t

Running OPER in background

Dear Folks, OPER is listed in the TSO Auth table IKJEFTNS.  And that table entry stops it from running in the background.  The table entry is set in the PARMLIB member IKJTSOxx.  A permanent way of removing OPER from the IKJEFTNS table is to remove OPER from the NOTBKGRD NAMES( ) list. 

Re: REXX SURVEY

Still, REXX is the primary scripting language for z/OS and z/VM; they should be listed as options. It' unfortunate that IBM hasn't chosen to replace them with ooRexx. --  Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר __
