    Inline __asm() to communicate ARCHLVL to HLASM for system macros

    When a z/OS system macro is embedded in a __asm() block, HLASM assumes ARCHLVL=1 which means the macro will use base+displacement branching, which fails in an inline __asm() block due to "no active USING". Most macros implement a MF=E form which g...

    Make it clear what resources are in-scope of a user issues a stop request name/SYG/name

    User inadvertently issued a stop against the system resource name/SYG/name APG. This obviously resulted in Automation shutting the system down, but this was not what the user intended!

    Add Modified user & timestamp to ACF members

    It would be useful to have the modified details in the ACF members. We quite often scan the ACF members for details as it easier than using the PDB. Seeing the data the entry was modified can be useful for ruling out the member when we are investi...

    Reliable indicator of AMODE in F7SA chain

    When using Metal C, calling an ASCmode=AR function creates an ambiguous F7SA save area (in the DSA chain). The AMODE is switched BEFORE the call (BASR) is executed, and restored AFTER the return, so the AMODE of the caller (and therefore the DSAUS...
