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...

Conditional Comparison Column Exclusion

We need the ability to conditionally exclude columns from processing. For example, if columns 1 through 5 are APPLE, then exclude columns 6 through 10 in the comparison. We would need to be able to use different versions of this exclusion in the s...

Identify SIIS issue before moving to z13 / z14

It is known that Assembler code using "Store into Instruction Stream" (SIIS) does not perform as well starting on z13 hardware due to a change in cache structure. It would be beneficial to have an option in the HLASM Toolkit to identify code which...

SUPERC Option to Ignore Trailer Record

When processing members of a PDS, or vendor files either online or in batch, the ability to exclude the last line from the comparison without having to physically specify the starting and ending line numbers to process would significantly improve ...

ISPF ISRSUPC to permit FINDALL to work against individual PDS members

Add an MVS ISPF ISRSUPC/SuperC search option similar to FINDALL that works against discrete members of a PDS. ISRSUPC's FINDALL process option returns a positive match only if all SRCHFOR criteria are met. This works fine for a sequential file; ho...

Provide the option to make new RENT Assembler module against SIIS.

Provide the option to make new RENT Assembler module against SIIS(Store into Instruction Streams). Upward compatibility disappears in terms of performance by SIIS.On z13 sometimes more visible than on z196 because the bigger L2 I- and D-caches are...

System Variable Symbol &SYSRMODE

I need a way to determine the RMODE of a CSECT from within a MACRO, if the RMODE was set via either an RMODE statement, or a CATTR statement.

SuperC - Do Not Report Spacing Changes Unless Within Quotes

There is an existing option, DLREFM (suppress reformatted lines from the listing) which although it does suppress the reformatted lines from the OLD file, it does not suppress them from the NEW file. Another option, REFMOVR, suppresses reformatted...
