Overview
This course provides instruction and practice in the use of the more complex S/390 Assembler Language facilities for the experienced assembler language programmer. The course includes a discussion of standard linkage conventions, use of BSAM/QSAM and selected system macros, the macro definition language, and reentrant coding considerations.
Emphasis is placed on enhancing skills in problem resolution through analysis of more complex system-provided dumps.
Prerequisites
You should be able to:
- Code and debug simple S/390 assembler language programs
- Identify data management considerations and access methods
- Code assembler language programs which:
- Conform to standard linkage conventions using save area chaining
- Define and use BSAM/QSAM datasets through standard I/O macros
- Define and execute user macros which contain:
- Positional and/or keyword parameters
- Fixed or variable entry parameter lists
- Conditional assembly logic
- Use variable length storage operations (that is, EX, MVCL, and so on)
- Employ more complex instructions (that is, TR, TRT, BXLE, and so on)
- Access JCL parameter data
- Employ LE date/time handling services
- Identify reentrant coding considerations and dynamic storage acquisition
