Hi Bob and Mark,
normally, if a MACLIB contains only macros, there is no need to
compile them
and there is no need to build a TXTLIB from them; the macros can
simply be used
by other ASSEMBLER sources (as a sort of extended symbolic
instructions).
If I could look at the MACLIBs, I could probably help you in
deciding if there
needs anything to be done with the MACLIBs, or if they simply can
be used AS IS.
I only have a very old VM-370 distribution (from 2011 or so) and
currently no plan
to install another one, because I am happy with what I have. Could
you send me (only)
the MACLIB, if you want me to help you with it?
HTH, kind regards
Bernd

Hi Mark,
I do not see any way that the VM/370 CMS ASSEMBLE command
can compile a member of a CMS MACLIB.
I would have expected it to be possible, but the code and
documentation say otherwise.

I set up the FILEDEF, specifying one member, and attempt to
assemble, but it complains the filename is missing. When I
give it the member name, it's not happy about that. I chose to
use the PERM option in case it wanted to throw away the
FILEDEF too soon.
