Assembler Language Coding Workshop - ES34G

Recognize architectural features, such as instruction formats, data representation, storage addressing, and so on, which are significant to program analysisIdentify point of program interruption, using the formatted system dump and elements of information such as the Program Status Word (PSW), the Instruction Length Code (ILC), the program's base register(s), and so onIdentify appropriate standards for assembler programs in terms of program organization, register conventions, coding practices, documentation, and so onCode and debug assembler language programs which:Conform to standard linkage conventions using save area chainingDefine and use various types of data definitions, including fixed point binary, character, hexadecimal, and packed decimalEmploy standard macros such as CALL, SAVE, RETURNUse various Assembler Language statements such as CSECT, EQU, COPY, ENDUse both symbolic and explicit notational forms for instructionsUse data literals appropriately, and explain the use of LTORG to direct positioning of the literal poolCreate and use appropriate patterns for EDIT instructionsLearn about, Systems w/TPS, Mainframe TPS, Application Platforms TPS, z Enterprise Transaction Systems & integration
