    Program Analyzer should install custom rules in writeable USS folder and not in usr/lpp/IBM/akg/cr

    Currently, the Program Analyzer is installed in /usr/lpp/IBM/akg. This location is read-only, so we cannot save our own rules in /usr/lpp/IBM/akg/cr. The usr/lpp/IBM/akg/cr folder should be moved to a writable location (perhaps /var/...). As a wor...

    Option to check instruction-to-field mismatches

    Looking for an option which when specified would have HLASM report instances where the instruction mismatched the data that it would operate on. Like "check that I am using instructions that match the data length of the field".

    Reverse Order Button

    When multiple programs thru a batch job or thru a workspace scan the ordering of the results is always the rule and then the underlying programs with their line numbers. It makes more sense if the program is the header and then the metrics or rule...

    Allow fields >= 64k

    The assembler currently only supports the definition of fields less than 64k bytes in length. The assembler should be revised to support the definition of fields greater than or equal to 64k bytes in length.

    SuperC Option to Report Entire Record and Highlight Differences

    A SuperC comparison will by default report ~90 bytes of the record containing a difference, or ~190 bytes using an existing option. We would like an option that allows the entire record to be shown within the existing report width, wrapped to as m...
