Advanced Assembler and Macro Usage [ASAM]
OVERVIEW
This four-day course is designed to build on the skills taught in the 'Using z/OS Assembler' course. It starts with a short review of the basic Assembler instructions before introducing more advanced areas such as general addressability, 31 and 64-bit addressing, reentrancy, macro usage, debugging and recovery. The course also covers the Assembler macro language fundamentals and z/OS Control Block usage, essential knowledge required when maintaining and writing z/OS exits.
