IBM - Assembler Language Coding Workshop

Code: ES34G
Length: 5 days
URL: View Online

This classroom hands-on lab course provides an introduction to the mainframe Assembler language. The course is
designed to develop the skills appropriate to write and/or maintain programs and routines written in S/370 or S/390
Assembler Language. Emphasis is placed on enhancing skills in problem resolution through program check interruption
analysis and dump reading.

Skills Gained

Recognize architectural features, such as instruction formats, data representation, storage addressing, and so on,

which are significant to program analysis

Identify point of program interruption, using the formatted system dump and elements of information such as the

Program Status Word (PSW), the Instruction Length Code (ILC), the program's base register(s), and so on

Identify appropriate standards for assembler programs in terms of program organization, register conventions,

coding practices, documentation, and so on

Code and debug assembler language programs which:

Conform to standard linkage conventions using save area chaining

Define and use various types of data definitions, including fixed point binary, character, hexadecimal, and packed

decimal

Employ standard macros such as CALL, SAVE, RETURN

Use various Assembler Language statements such as CSECT, EQU, COPY, END

Use both symbolic and explicit notational forms for instructions

Use data literals appropriately, and explain the use of LTORG to direct positioning of the literal pool

Create and use appropriate patterns for EDIT instructions

Who Can Benefit


This intermediate course is for application programmers and/or beginning system programmers who code, maintain
and/or debug application support programs or subroutines written in S/370 or S/390 Assembler Language.
