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 ...

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...

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...

Provide SPM ITERATE-like analogue with conditions, similar to LEAVE/DOEXIT

An analogous macro to ITERATE with conditions, similar to DOEXIT & ASMLEAVE, would be very helpful to write more understandable code and take advantage of internal z Systems pipelining, instruction prefetch, and branch prediction. (Note: I hav...

Flag SS instructions with a (probable) incorrect use of implied operand length

Please consider the following two MVC instructions, both of which use the implied length of the first operand: MVC FULL1,FULL2 perfectly reasonable MVC FULL1+2,HALF explicit length of 2 is obviously missing…FULL1 DS FFULL2 DS FHALF DS H* LTORG The...

SuperC support for VSAM records greater than 64K

We have a customer that wants to use VSAM datasets with record sizes greater than 64K. They rely on SUPERC to do comparisons of test runs. SUPERC does not support record sizes greater than 64K. We would like to see an enhancement for this support.

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...
