Additional SuperC returncode for changed data compare

Batch invocation of SuperC (ISRSUPC) currently gives two "normal" completion return codes, 0 for "No differences" and "1" for "Differences found". A third "normal" completion return code of 2 would be advantageous for those cases where there are n...

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...

Assembly Listing Headers - Four lines of USINGs information is not enough

Currently, the page headers area for Assembly listings is limited to 8 lines: title line, page number, column headers and... from two to four lines of active USINGs information. I use named USINGs a LOT! So much so, that I frequently blow through ...

Improve ability to define structures with power-of-2 size

When writing assembler code, it is often desirable or even necessary to define a structure with a length that is an integral power of 2. Reasons for such might be to avoid crossing a cache-line boundary; to be able to allocate an array of structur...

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".

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.

COPYLIB DD for COPY code, SQLLIB DD for SQL INCLUDE

Assembler copy code and macros are distinct types of elements that can be mutually dependent. Because they are read from the same SYSLIB DD they need to be assigned different names. A COPYLIB DD for copy code would support matching named macros an...

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...
