and Assembler Language
Sample REXX Code
- ASMPS
- displays OMVS processes "visible" to your uid. A "super-user" sees all
processes. Other users only see processes with their own uid.
Calls assembler routine
ASMPS. Uses REXX subroutine
TZSECS which returns time zone offset in seconds.
- SEEKCHR
- takes two parameters: a volume serial and a disk location in the
format CCCCHHHHRR (cylinder/head/record) - hexadecimal. Calls assembler routine
CHR. Some IBM components provide dataset location
information in this format.
- WHATISAT
- takes one parameter: a hexadecimal storage address - returns module information
for any module loaded at that address. Calls assembler routine
CSVWHERE.
Assembler routines are expected to be in dataset prefix.LOAD
where prefix is your TSO prefix.
