I wrote to Don Higgins about the z390 he has. The object deck that is created looks like it can be linked in z/os or any of the other operating systems except dos. Here is his reply.

Z390 obj files were designed to be compatible with OS linker and I know it worked back in earlier days.? I have not tried it lately.

Would it be possible to assemble a program then take the text file and link it on z/OS?

You can't build versions of MTS (at least not the recent ones) as it requires ASM-H, which is an IBM licenced product.

Perhaps Mike can chime in if it is possible to build an earlier version of MTS - possibly even ones that run on VM/370?

Rob,

Not with the released systems. VM/370 is very old so S/370 only. The MTS system runs in ESA mode (I think might work in XA mode) so won’t run the free VM.

I suspect you could build a 370 version of MTS but I haven’t investigated how much work it would need.

It looks like the VM/370 group has been quite active and has recently released a VM/370 Community Edition V1R1.2

I'm just curious whether it ought to be possible to run MTS under VM.? If anyone has tried.

Thanks,
Rob
