SMP/E and High Level Assembler

The default SMP/E OPTIONS entry for the assembler utility is ASMA90. SMP/E runs authorized, therefore all utility programs called by SMP/E must reside in an authorized library. Consequently, unless this default has been changed at your site to an alternative product, you must ensure High Level Assembler resides in an Authorized Program Facility (APF) authorized library.

Furthermore, if access to High Level Assembler is to be restricted, the z/OS® Security Server must be used to control its execution.
