8152: Assembler University 102: Introduction to Assembler Language 'Boot Camp' - Part 2 of 5

Session Number: 8152

Session Title: Assembler University 102: Introduction to Assembler Language 'Boot Camp' - Part 2 of 5

Day - Time: Monday, March 2, 2009, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Location: Austin Hilton, Salon F

Program: Languages

Project: Assembler Language Project

Track: Assembler Basic

Symposiums: zNextGen

Classification Technical

Speakers: John Ehrman, IBM Corporation BiographyMichael Stack, K Cats Consulting

Abstract: This top-rated session is one of a sequence of five that provide a quick and easy introduction to the most important elements of the IBM mainframe's Assembler Language. Each session covers key concepts to help you understand and write simple assembler programs, and provides illustrative examples.
Your learning will be enhanced if you can bring a PC-compatible laptop; but if you can't, the lab sessions (8156 and 8157, 'Assembler 106A/Assembler 106B') will give you an opportunity to try out some sample programs. We will provide a CD or USB 'flash drive' with the ASSIST/I assembler and host emulator you can use to write, test, and print your programs.
We will be available to help you at each session.
Topics to be covered in Part 2 (Session 8152) include:

Basics of machine architecture and program execution
The assembly process: Assembler Language and machine language
Differences between data and instructions
General Purpose Registers and addressing
Basic instruction formats: symbolic and machine formats
Common Assembler Language programming standards and conventions
Program entry and exit rules
A complete program example
