ASM (Assembly Language)

Assembly language files dependencies provided by AWS Blu Insights rely only on the Call statement.

CALL

The call expression implies a dependency on another ASM file.

  • CALL filename this expression must start at the 10th column of a line and filename is the name of an ASM file in the project.

Those statements also address an ENTRY defined in an ASM or Cobol file.

The call on a CSECT section defined in the same file will not produce any dependency.

MCALL

Similar to CALL but we have different options before the call.
As in several other dependencies we expect a margin (at least 9 character) at the beginning of each ASM line.

  • MCALL target 
  • MCALL GO target
  • MCALL NO GO target
  • MCALL NO, GO target

With those statements we expect to find another ASM program but in fact, the target could be of any type.. 
The link created will be of type “Call”

CALL CBLTDLI

This statement handles various options that doesn’t affect the expected dependency. With this statement, we expect to match MFS objects (generated by IMS).

  • CALL CBLTDLI, ISRT, ARG1, ARG2, ARG3 target

This statement will call an object named target and create a dependency of kind “IMS message invocation”.

COPY

The COPY expression implies a dependency on a CPY file from assembler.

  • COPY filename where filename is the name of an CPY file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Copy”.

LOAD

The LOAD expression implies a dependency on another file.

  • LOAD EP=filename where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Load entry”.

MACROS

In assembler there is a bunch of default operations, each one of them can be override if there is a MACRO file with the name of the operation in the project.

  • OPERATION ARG1 ARG2... implies a dependency on a MACRO file named OPERATION.MACRO or OPERATION.MAC in your project. 

For those calls, we only display a link if the macro file exists, we don't handle missing macros.
The link created will be of type "Macro Call”.

PUNCH 

In assembler, there are string that are executed as code. The PUNCH statement is an operation that executes those strings. We handle several statements in PUNCH.

ENTRY

The PUNCH ENTRY expression implies a dependency on another program in the project.

  • PUNCH 'ENTRY filename' where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Punch entry”.

INCLUDE

The PUNCH INCLUDE expression implies a dependency on another program in the project.

  • PUNCH 'INCLUDE SYSLIB filename' where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Punch include”.

SETAF

The SETAF expression implies a linking on another program in the project.

  • SETAF filename where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Linkage”.

SETCF

The SETCF expression implies a linking on another program in the project.

  • SETCF filename where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Linkage”.

SVC (Supervisor call)

The SVC expression implies a dependency on another program in the project.

  • SVC filename where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The SVC statement also references a MACRO file (.MAC or .MACRO).
The link created will be of type “Supervisor call”.

USING

The USING expression implies a dependency on another program in the project.

  • USING filename where filename is the name of a file in the project.

The link created will be of type “Using”.

V CALL

The V call expression implies a linkage on another program in the project.

  • ... R1,=V(filename) where filename is the name of a file in the project.

This statement can be used in arguments of different instructions. =V(filename) create a link to the targeted file.
The link created will be of type “Linkage”.
