| OS/390 Assembler Language
Programming: Introduction
This course provides a basic introduction to programming at the
Assembler level. It presents the architecture of IBM System/390
and emphasizes storage addressing, the use of registers, and instruction
formats. Learn about the format of the Assembler Language and Machine
Language instructions, and the operation of the Assembler program.
You will learn the differences between and use of Assembler instructions,
machine instructions, and macro instructions.
Assembler Language Programming: Introduction training covers such
topics as:
Assembler Language Overview
OS/390 Memory Usage
OS/390 Addressing and Instructions
The Program Development Process
Defining Data
This course is designed for application and system programmers
and for other individuals who wish to write programs in Assembler
Language. This includes
those who may need to develop support libraries for REXX or other high level
languages. In addition, this course is an appropriate introduction for individuals
seeking a basic introduction to System /390 architecture

OS/390
Description
This course provides a basic introduction to programming at the Assembler level.
The architecture of IBM System /390 is presented with an emphasis on storage
addressing, use of registers, and instruction formats. The format of both Assembler
Language and Machine Language instructions is covered along with the operation
of the Assembler program, which translates one to the other. The use of decimal,
binary, hexadecimal numbers, and the conversion from one system to the other
is covered. Students will learn the difference between Assembler instructions,
machine instructions, macro instructions, and how each is used. This course is
written to OS/390 2.x.
Audience
This course is designed for application and system programmers and for other
individuals who wish to write programs in Assembler Language. This includes those
