Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF
Remember, the suffixes for various products is not based on function level but how much (real) memory it needed; this was an era when the IBM S/360 65 maxed out at 1 MB core of fast core.? Even the

Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF
Thank you very much for the history lesson. I read somewhere that G was written because of limitations in F, but I don't remember what those all were. Installing G on VM/370 is necessarily needed, but

Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF
I would add, regarding ASMA, that the .OBJ object code generated is (in my experience) 100% compatible with IBM object decks, except that it does not include RLD information. This means it should be

I hadn't realized that IBM rewrote F into XF while H was already available. Interesting. Would it be feasible to expand G into full H compatibility? AIUI, H started out as IBM's version of G...

Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF
Mark, To echo what Tony says, F and XF are different beasts. Basically, F was I think the pre MVS OS assembler, XF was distributed with MVS, VM and DOS. I have never seen ¡°F¡± on VM. I am sure I

VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF
I am still trying, as I can find time, to get Assembler G installed on VM/370. I've run into an EXEC that mentions Assembler F as separate from Assembler XF. Is that true/possible? I only find

Re: VM37CE, Hercules and Windows 11
Dave's right - if you want to preserve your SPOOL files (which can sometimes be recovered by a checkpoint start), and avoid the start prompt, don't just close Hercules. Instead, issue a /SHUTDOWN
