Step 4: Verify the installation of High Level Assembler
Two sample High Level Assembler source decks, and a sample job
are provided on the distribution tape, to help you verify your installation.
These sample source decks are ASMASAM1.A
and ASMASAM2.A
.
The sample job is ASMAIVPS.Z
.
To verify your installation, run the sample job ASMAIVPS.Z. This job will verify your installation by exercising representative features of High Level Assembler.
ASMAIVPS.Z
provided
in the installed sublibrary. It runs the sample program from the
same sublibrary. If you installed High Level Assembler in a sublibrary
other than the default, modify the IBM-supplied JCL
that
runs the verification program. // JOB ASMAIVPS
*
* SAMPLE JCL TO VERIFY INSTALLATION OF THE
* High Level Assembler.
*
// LIBDEF *,SEARCH=(lib.sublib,PRD1.BASE) 1
// EXEC ASMA90,SIZE=ASMA90
COPY ASMASAM1
COPY ASMASAM2
/*
/&
In area 1 , specify the user library where the source format macros have been placed, followed by the library where the High Level Assembler resides.
// EXEC ASMA90,SIZE=(ASMA90,128K),PARM='EXIT(LIBEXIT(EDECKXIT))'
A return code of 0 (zero) for the job indicates that the sample program completed successfully. The assembly of the sample program is the actual verification that the product is installed and functions correctly.
The program being assembled is not intended to be run; however, if it is run, it sets a return code of zero and returns to the caller.
