  • Assembler Exits Presentation (2.0 MB)
  • The power of the High Level Assembler language cannot be fully realized without the use of the assembler's exit facilities. This session provides practical examples of two simple exits and how to code them in a general framework for writing other exits. At the end of the session you will be able to write, compile, and install your own exits.
     
    The first exit that we demonstrate shows how to remove ASA and Machine carriage controls from the SYSPRINT listing and replace them with blank lines. This is useful for viewing listings with text editors that do not understand them and renders the SYSPRINT pages more naturally.
     
    The second exit that we present demonstrates how to inspect and modify source code by implementing a new format for statement labels.
     
    MYLABEL:
      is converted into
    MYLABEL DS 0H
     
    Other possible exits would be to
    1) enforce coding standards
    2) inject automated commentary
    3) control SYSLIB under Unix System Services
