Re: IBM Assembler History


 

I keep forgetting this, too.?

I have IFOX00 (Assembler XF) in TK4- and there was one (IEUASM--Assembler F, which came from MVT, was it?) which might have difficulty with certain macros or conditional assembly.

After that, the next I was aware of was IEV90 (Assembler H), the one I did most of my paid work with.

Finding out which you have isn't always obvious, as often one name is an alias in the load library :-)

Hi

one question that I have for the knowledgeable folks here.? I gathered, by lurking, that there has been a number of different assemblers in MVS and z/OS (and, I presume, VM, and possibly MTS and MUSIC/SP).? I have read about IFOX, ASSIST, etc etc

Is there a link anywhere with a timeline of these tools?? Or maybe somebody here would care to comment?
I am particularly interested in understanding what is currently available on MVS 3.8j/TK4- and z/OS.

Thanks
