Need to be able to add a job to the current plan via a call from a running application program. This program may be IMS MPP, IMS BMP, CICS, etc. The interface CANNOT require APF authorization, as ordinary application programs should not be APF aut...

We were looking at having the preinvoke request interceptor ADD a new custom header to the flow, that would contain the value of System.currentTimeMillis(); it could contain other values as well for future needs. On the post invoke; read the heade...

Change ASMA033I severity from 0 to 4

Our product requires 241 separate assemblies. When reviewing a gen, we take closer looks at any assembly having a non-0 completion code. ASMA033I errors currently are SEV 0. That means that they get missed when a GEN is reviewed. If they were chan...

Change FM option modules to be standard PARMLIB "styled" members.

Convert FMN0POPT, FMN1POPT, FMN2POPT, and FMN3POPT to a PARMLIB that re read during product startup. This really has slowed down the install process because we need to apply usermods to our maintenance volumes and migrate to each system. When you ...

Fully support 32-bit EQUs (maybe even 64-bit EQUs as well)

The assembler's support of 32-bit EQUs is arcane, to say the least. Consider: EQU1 EQU X'80000000' EQU2 EQU X'80000000'+1 EQU3 EQU X'7FFFFFFF'+1 The EQU1 and EQU2 statements are fine.The EQU3 statement gets flagged with ASMA074E. I do understand t...
