(new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler Macro to automatically generate a CSECT header with core eye-catcher, standard addressability, and optional GETVIS for savearea storage. Additional documentation and instructions in the macro source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler subroutine (batch or on-line) specifically intended to provide Hex String Manipulation (character-to-hex and hex-to-character) services to a COBOL program. However, this subroutine may be called from any language which can conform to "standard" S/370 program linkage conventions. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler Macro set to provide IF / AND / ELSE / ENDIF structured programming constructs for assembler. Additional documentation and instructions in the macro source header. (new)

Batch VSE/COBOL program to return system and job information, related to the currently executing job, to the calling program. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler subroutine (batch only) allows the calling program to change the partition job date without requiring a JCL "// DATE" card. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler subroutine (batch only) allows the calling program to setup partition symbolic parameters without requiring JCL "// SETPARM" cards. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler subroutine (batch or on-line) specifically intended to provide Number Manipulation (string-to-numeric conversion, editing, and decimal alignment) services to a COBOL program. However, this subroutine may be called from any language which can conform to "standard" S/370 program linkage conventions. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

CICS/VSE Command-Level DOS/VS COBOL Othello program for two players — each using a separate CICS terminal. Includes BMS Mapset source. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) CICS Command-Level Assembler subroutine to provide intelligent Print Datastream Management services to any CICS program. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler subroutine (batch only) specifically intended to provide VSE Return Code Manipulation services to a batch COBOL program.

(new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler Macro set to provide SELECT / CASE / ENDSL structured programming constructs for assembler. Additional documentation and instructions in the macro source header. (new)

Batch VSE/COBOL program provides the JCL programmer with a means of dynamically obtaining either a particular (calculated) partition date, representing the desired processing period (e.g. quarter-end, year-end, etc.), or the partition symbolic parameters which represent the current (or calculated) partition date (i.e. &WEEKDAY, &WEEK, &QUARTER, &MONTH, &DAY, and &YEAR). Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler Macro to automatically generate a CSECT trailer with standard return code conventions and optional FREEVIS for dynamic saveareas. Additional documentation and instructions in the macro source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) CICS Command-Level Assembler program to provide a list of Temporary Storage Queue names and associated statistics. There is no BMS Mapset required for this program -- it dynamically builds and interacts with a native 3270 datastream. This program also interacts with CEBR for queue browse and purge services. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler subroutine (batch or on-line) specifically intended to provide Text String Manipulation services to a COBOL program. However, this subroutine may be called from any language which can conform to "standard" S/370 program linkage conventions. Additional documentation and instructions in the program source header. (new)

REXX/VSE procedure to query the current, running VSE/ESA system for the purpose of analyzing all virtual storage requirements, calculating the total VSIZE and PDS sizes actually needed, and to compare these calculated values with the current actual VSIZE and PDS allocations in use to determine whether to issue over/under allocation diagnostics. This procedure can also provide a detailed report of virtual storage allocations and usages to assist you in your virtual storage tuning efforts. (new)

S/370 (and upwards) Assembler Macro set to provide WHILE / WEXIT / WLOOP / WEND structured programming constructs for assembler. Additional documentation and instructions in the macro source header. (new)
