Information about “PC/370 CROSS ASSEMBLER 1 OF 3 (859,1352)”
PC/370 is a cross assembler that lets you compile and run IBM 370
Assembly language programs on a PC, XT or AT.
These programs are well-documented with a good demonstration program.
This is one of the most complete emulations of the VM370 assembler
around. A generous debugging and erase facility is also included to
help you complete development cycles without the big blue box.
Features included:
~ PC/370 assembler subroutines can be called from Micro Focus COBAL/2
programs running either in extended memory-protected mode or normal MS-
DOS real mode. Standard linkage conventions are supported.
~ PC/370 run-time emulator can be made resident to eliminate loading it
for each program or subroutine execution. As part of making the
emulator reusable, debug supports restoring traces
~ Hardware assist is available for the CVB and CVD 370 instructions
using the math co-processor to speed up the instructions by a factor of
four
~ Two new supervisor calls are included: SVC 36 will load into a
predefined area of memory (useful for overlays); SVC 37 defines user
SVC exits for modifying native SVC support without requiring an
emulated interrupt driven shell
~ The cross assembler supports the copy statement to include source
code files
~ The linkage editor supports option U to allow external unresolved
references.

Program Title: CROSS ASSEMBLER for the IBM 370 version 4.2 (Disk 1 of 3)
PC-SIG version: 3.3
PC/370 is a cross assembler that runs on the IBM-PC, AT, or XT and lets
you compile and run IBM 370 assembly language programs.
These programs are well-documented with an excellent example demo set up
to be run by a batch file. This is the most complete emulation of the
VM370 assembler that can be found. A generous debugging and erase
facility is also given to ease complete development cycles without the
big blue box.
Version 4.2 is loaded with new features, here are just a few:
o PC/370 assembler subroutines may now be called from Micro
Focus COBAL/2 programs running either in extended memory
protected mode or normal MS-DOS real mode. Standard linkage
conventions are supported. The
o PC/370 run time emulator can now be made resident to
eliminate loading it from disk storage for each program or
subroutine execution. As part of making the emulator
reusable, debug now supports restoring traces.
o An optional hardware assist for the CVB and CVD 370
instructions using the 80x87 math co-processor can speed up
the instructions by up to a factor of 4.
o Two new supervisor calls have been added. SVC 36 will load a
program or file into a predefined area of memory (useful for
overlays), SVC 37 defines user SVC exits for modifying native
SVC support without requireing the overhead of an emulated
interrupt driven shell.
o The cross assembler now supports the copy statement to allow
includeing source code files.
o The linkage editor now supports option U to allow external
unresolved references.
Please note that all three disks are required to run this program, the
other numbers in the set are #859 and #1352.
Usage: For beginning through advanced S/370 assembly language
programmers.
