Call it the "IBM Systems Reference Library" (not sure whether the "IBM" on the cover page is just "this is from IBM" or is part of that phrase). undo

curprev 06:2906:29, 24 September 2023‎ Guy Harris talk contribs‎ 36,363 bytes +100‎ The big new feature in the post-BAL assembly language was support for macros. Some macro assemblers supported more features than others; see, for example, pages 143-145 of http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/asm/C28-6514-5_IBM_System_360_Assembler_Language_Level_E_F_Dec67.pdf. Distinguish between S/3x0 macro assembler language and its variants, and the assemblers that supported them. undo

"OTHRWISE" isn't a typo, it's a consequence, I suspect, of 8-character limitations for macro names (it's the 2020s and there are still 8-character name limitations?). undo
