Re: Assembler courses

I would suggest you start by writing subroutines that can be called by a COBOL program. This is how I learned. Take a COBOL driver program, and instead of writing paragraphs to do the functions, call an assembler routine. This will help you to learn linkage. Learn to process passed variables, etc

Not sure that this is a winnable lawsuit though. The architecture of a file (and the data therein) that is only needed to run a product is not copyright protected. So copying the WSBIND file doesnt necessarily amount to a copyright violation. Joe On Tue, Nov 22, 2022 at 10:10 AM Bob T Roller < 0

When a z/arch machine has CZAM installed, is it possible to use a short PSW to IPL. Or, does the short PSW always become a long PSW before IPL, so it is better to use a long PSW to start with? In POPs, it says on page 3-75: "When the CZAM facility is installed, the IPL PSW has the short-PSW forma
