@ Steve
Thank's a lot for these detailed descriptions an your elaborations.
Just as you, years ago when IBM unnounced some new instructions regarding 64bit and z/Arch i took a shot of some of those things, but decided to keep to my conventional methods.
I dont't see no need in using relative large destination branch instructions
like BRAS/BRXH or multiply/divide like ML/DL, when programming some
normal commercial applikations., as complex as they could be. Using the same approved techniques - highly structured - well designed - as programming in COBOL.
As i saw in your profile, you're a retired professional. My deep respect, you're still keep on beeing busy oneself with application development and system engeneering.
I had retired two years ago and now i'm back again on some migration projekts about assembler programming. I's some kind of addicting.
Exceptionally when a snug income is assured.
Seams to me, that assembler is not dead as all, as announced so many years ago. Most of the banks here in Germany still have some programms in stock.
Regards, UmeySan
