That was true up to a point.? FORTRAN IV, as you note, had F, G, and H versions, which differed both in function and in required memory (and in overlay structure - remember overlays?).? But after a while, it became primarily a functional designation.? PL/I X, for example, was dramatically higher function than PL/I F, and could reasonably have been described as a new version of the language.? Waterloo's Asm G and SLAC's Assembler H used the "level" to indicate "newer and higher function", not "more RAM-hungry".? I vaguely recall using ASMGASM for MVT sysgens because it was smaller and faster.

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 S/370 model 165 was originally offered with only up to 3 MB of core.? (The way Hercules users can run MVT on a uniprocessor with 16 MB of cheap real memory was a fantasy in 1971.)

Quoting Wikipedia:

Between 1966 and 1968, IBM offered several FORTRAN IV compilers for its System/360, each named by letters that indicated the minimum amount of memory the compiler needed to run. The letters (F, G, H) matched the codes used with System/360 model numbers to indicate memory size, each letter increment being a factor of two larger:?

  • 1966 : FORTRAN IV F for DOS/360 (64K bytes)
  • 1966 : FORTRAN IV G for OS/360 (128K bytes)
  • 1968 : FORTRAN IV H for OS/360 (256K bytes)
Function was certainly related to how much memory was needed, but (re)writing an F level component when the H component existed made perfect sense if the F level component needed a quarter of the??(expensive)?memory.

Weird but true.?

No, just pragmatic.

Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF

 

I would like to second Eddy Balem's plug of Harold Grovesteen's most excellent SATK/ASMA product:

*

As Harold already knows, I'm his biggest fan. It's a *very* nice, well written product that allows you quickly and easily write stand alone programs in an assembler that is virtually identical to IBM's (there are some differences but they're minor IMO), and, as Ed said, produces output that is usable on virtually any/all IBM operating systems in existence (including, I might add, not just legacy ones like VM/370, DOS/VS, etc, but also modern ones too like z/OS and z/VM).

I use it all the time to write test cases for Hercules. Just take a look at Hercules's "test" subdirectory and you'll see.

If anyone is interested in playing around with or learning mainframe assembler without the hassle of needing an operating system to do so, I would *highly recommend* that you give it a try! Harold and/or myself will gladly provide you with whatever help you might need to get started with it.

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 I am learning a lot along the way, and that makes it worth it for me.

I believe it would from the code I have been living with. There are modules that support the following instruction sets This is why I have been trying to get this installed, as I believe it could be extended to other architectures.?

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 usable in VM/CMS,DOS or DOS/VS provided you either determine its load address at assembly time, or write the code to be self-relocating.
If you are writing bare metal/standalone programs it gives you full access to 390 and z/arch instructions without using assemblers designed for 24-bit architecture.

I know nothing about running G on VM/370, but I imagine it would run fine if invoked as an OS program. In other words I'm doubtful that there's an ASMG or the like command ready to go.

There are various other assemblers out there for S/370 up to zArch code.

And do not forget the assembler that comes with SATK, also called ASMA it appears.

The SATK ASMA manual is at the doc/asma/ASMA.pdf in the github repository.

The syntax is extremely close to the legacy assemblers, a few additions.? The output is different but it works well for its targeted use with bare-metal programs on mainframes.? All instructions from the S/360 through the latest z PoO -13 are supported.

Re: VM/370 CE Assembler F, Assembler XF

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

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 have had G running on VM because I tried it with GCC but gave up as it was no better.

If I get time I¡¯ll see if I can find what I did.

?

It looks like someone re-worked the source for ASMG here:

?

?

there is also a note here:-

?

?

which suggests that despite untested assertions elsewhere XF is faster than G and that using option BUF(MAX) speeds it up somewhat more

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 command and wait for the "HHC00809I Processor CP00: disabled wait state 000A0000 00000008" message from Hercules.? CP will write the checkpoint data to disk before it loads the disabled wait.

Re: VM37CE, Hercules and Windows 11

 

Hi Steve,

well, it depends on whether CP can find valid warmstart data or not; when you carefully shut it down (when logged in as MAINT (or another properly privileged user) issue a SHUTDOWN) it will have a valid checkpoint and you will not see this message.

The next tip that will come in handy: when the terminals don't seem to come up: ENABLE ALL

/Start ((Warm|Force|COLD|CKPT) (DRain) (DIsable) (NOAUTOlo)) or (SHUTDOWN): ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

CP is waiting for your answer to this question.? Until you tell it how you want to start up, nothing else will happen, including enabling terminals.

Type your answer starting with a slash (which tells Hercules that the line is input for the OS, not a Hercules command).? Since the WARM start already failed, I'd try /CKPT first, to try to save the SPOOL files, and if it fails, then /COLD, to start with an empty SPOOL.

After CP starts up, your /ENABLE ALL will throw a VM logo up on your WC3270 session, and you can log in.
