Answer Posted / john
To elaborate a little the reason for all this
"housekeeping": The "save areas" as they are called that are
created by the SAVE macro contain the contents of the
registers when the routine is called. Save areas are
backward and forward linked (by the 4 instructions after the
USING) so that if the program fails you can find them in a
dump. The ending part of the program is missing as well,
but it returns the registers to their previous state before
returning to the calling program. It might look something like:
DROP 12
ALLDONE L 13,SAVE+4
RETURN (14,12),RC=0

how do you round the addition or subtraction of two numbers in assembler? what does the following code do? change process tool(code changes from dev to prd) the changes made to your code should be effected in live.

how to pass the parameters from jcl to assembler pgm?
In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
