The following manuals relevant to Assembler can be ordered:
IBM High Level Assembler Language Reference, GC26-4940
This publication is a reference manual for the programmer using High Level Assembler. It will enable the user to answer specific questions about language functions and specifications.
IBM High Level Assembler Programmer's Guide, SC26-4941
This publication tells how to use High Level Assembler. It provides the guide to assembling, link editing, running, interpreting listings and programming considerations. Only Parts 1 and 2 are applicable to the MVS operating systems. Part 3 is for VM/CMS only. Part 4 is for VSE.
IBM High Level Assembler General Information, GC26-4943
This manual introduces the major features of High Level Assembler to help users decide whether this programming language meets their data processing needs.
IBM MVS/ESA Principles of Operation, SA22-7200
This manual is the machine reference manual for the IBM MVS extended system architecture mode. It is written principally for Assembler Language programmers to be used in conjunction with the appropriate Assembler Language manuals.
IBM MVS/ESA Programming: Assembler Services Guide, GC28-1466
This publication shows applications programmers how to use the services of the supervisor, the macro instructions used to request these services, and the linkage conventions used by the control program to provide these services.
IBM MVS/ESA Programming: Assembler Services Reference, GC28-1474
This publication describes some of the macros (or macro instructions) that the system provides. These macros are available to any Assembler Language program. Programmers can use these macros to invoke the system services that they need. This publication includes the detailed information; such as the function, syntax, and parameters, needed to code the macros.
DFSMS/MVS Program Management, SC26-4916
This publication is intended to help you learn about and use the program management functions provided by DFSMS/MVS. DFSMS/MVS works in conjunction with MVS/ESA SP to manage programs, performing the steps necessary to create and execute programs on the system. These functions are performed by various DFSMS/MVS program management components, including the program management binder, the program management loader, the Binder, the batch loader, and the transport utility.
IBM DFSMS/MVS Macro Instructions for Data Sets, SC26-4913
This publication contains descriptions and definitions for the data management macro instructions available in Assembler Language. No information is included for VSAM.
IBM MVS/ESA JCL User's Guide, GC28-1473
This publication is designed as a user's guide to be used when deciding how to perform job control tasks. It does not describe how to code the statements.
IBM MVS/ESA JCL Reference, GC28-1479
This publication is designed as a reference book to be used while coding JCL statements.
MVS/ESA System Messages, Volume 1 (GC28-1480), Volume 2 (GC28-1481), Volume 3 (GC28-1482), Volume 4 (GC28-1483), and Volume 5 (GC28-1484)
These publications list the systems messages produced by IBM-supplied components of the operating system. The causes of the messages are explained, the accompanying actions by the operating system are described, and appropriate responses are suggested.
IBM MVS/ESA JES2 Messages, GC23-00085
This publication documents the messages issued by the MVS/ESA operating system.
IBM MVS/ESA Systems Codes, GC28-1486
This publication lists the system completion codes and wait state codes issued by the MVS/ESA operating system. Each code is explained, and where appropriate, a programmer response is indicated.
