ACF2ASM - Assembling the FDR, HCPAC0, CMS Modules

This utility does various assemblies (FDR, HCPAC0, CMS modules, and so on). You can modify this utility to meet your site standards. Comments in the utility describe the types of changes you might want to make and why.

When you finish modifying ACF2ASM, file it on the CA ACF2 for z/VM local options disk (usually 2A0).

Running ACF2ASM

To execute ACF2ASM, enter the following command:

ACF2ASM module [component [maint-fm [text-ft]]] [( [$ppf]]

module

Name of the module to assemble.

component

The component that the module is a part of. Valid component values are:

ACF

A CA ACF2 for z/VM module, normally ACFFDR.

CP

A CP module.

CMS

A CMS module, nucleus resident or a CMS command module. This is the default.

DOS

A CMS/DOS module.

maint-fm

The filemode of the CA ACF2 for z/VM local options disk. The default is the A‑disk.

text-ft

The filetype of the text when it has been moved to the local options disk. The default is the same as the filetype output by the assemble.

$ppf

The filename of the CA ACF2 for z/VM $PPF file to use for assemblies. This parameter is not required for the ACF component or SP5 assemblies.

This exec saves text decks and replaces them on the local options disk If the local options disk is not the A-disk, the text deck the assemble produces is erased from the A-disk.

You may want to modify this exec for the following reasons:

• You use an exec other than VMFASM to assemble your VM modules
• The assemble output filetype is different from the default for the component
• You want to copy the output text to another minidisk

As shipped, this exec makes the following assumptions:

• The VM assemble exec is VMFHASM.
• The output text file’s filetype from the assemble is one of the following:

  TEXT

  For the ACF components (ACFFDR).

  TXTACF

  For the CP components (such as HCPAC0).

  TXTACF01

  For the CMS and DOS component using IBM SES.

• You do not want the output text on any minidisk other than the CA ACF2 for z/VM local options disk.
• The source files are not in packed format.
