Raleigh, NC - May 20, 2010: Dignus LLC announces new assembler features.

The Systems/ASM product provides a flexible development environment for IBM zSeries and Systems/390 processors. Systems/ASM has always been in step with HLASM updates and version 1.85 meets the HLASM V1R6 Release functionality.

New enhancements are:

• HLASM V1R6 compatibility features:
  • Integrated support for instructions and new instruction formats through the z/HE line of processors.
  • Unsigned constant values in F-/H-type constants.
  • Mnemonic suffixes :ASM/:MAC.
  • New SY-type and QY-type constants.
  • Support for decimal special values and types.
  • Ignore leading zeros in decimal, binary and hexidecimal self-defining terms.
  • Improved diagnostics

• Support for new 'asma90 compatibility mode.' If DASM is executed via the 'asma90' command, it operates compatibly with IBM's asma90 program for Linux.

• Support for new -options="string" option that allows DASM to process HLASM PARM values with mapping to DASM options.

This announcement serves to highlight Dignus' continued compatibiltiy with IBM HLASM for zSeries Architecture running z/OS, z/VM, z/TPF and z/Linux as well as Mainframe Cross Mode processing for its compilers and assembler.
