File No. 8370-36 Order No. GC28-2004-6 IBM Time Sharing System Assembler User Systems Macro Instructions Provides the information necessary to code assembler language macro instructions in the I BM Time Sharing System (TS8). The intended audience is non privileged assembler language users. The primary macro instruction services are program management and data management. These macro instructions facilitate T8S application programming. The first section describes lhe macro instructions by functional groups, enabling the user to select macro instructions needed to manage programs (manage virtual storage, load and link modules, handle interruptions, transfer to command mode, use SYSIN/SYSOUT and the system log, communicate with the operator, maintain timers, and create commands) and to manage data (define, connect, access, manipulate, disconnect, or remove data sets). The second section lists the macro instructions alphabetically and provides the information needed to code the macro instructions. Appendixes describe exit lists, synchronous error exits, end-of-data processing, machine control characters, linkage conven- tions, DCB fields, the DDEF macro instruction, the generation of literals by macro instructions, interruption handling, the TSS Macro and Copy library, data set sharing, the OPEN/CLOSE generated parameter list, and the conditional assembly of macro instructions.
