Who should attend
This course is designed for application programmers and beginning system programmers who code, maintain, and debug application support programs or subroutines written in S/390 assembler language.
Prerequisites
You should be able to:
- Code and debug simple S/390 assembler language programs
Course Objectives
This course provides instruction and practice in the use of the more complex S/390 Assembler Language facilities for the experienced assembler language programmer. The course includes a discussion of standard linkage conventions, use of BSAM/QSAM and selected system macros, the macro definition language, and reentrant coding considerations.
Emphasis is placed on enhancing skills in problem resolution through analysis of more complex system-provided dumps.
