What are in reality the results of HiLMAs ?
Words! Words! Words! But there are some useful programs written with this language?
In this section we introduce the object module of programs I've written to help my daily work of System Programmer, that is some system utility enough generic to be useful in any MVS installation.
Perhaps you have already written something of similar, perhaps you have a product that do it better, but, anyway, you don't lose anything (only a little time) to put to the test some of this little programs (obviously, in a test environment ! )You can download and freely use any of these programs; in every compressed (Zipped) file there is:
- OBJ module of the program for the chosen environment
- instructions about how to send and to yield executable the program (in README.TXT)
- a little manual on how use the program itself (if needed, in MAN_ENG.TXT)
- the HILMAS source, to see how the program has been made with this language
- other JOBs, REXX programs, etc., if make utility more useful.
Basically, after you have UnZipped the distribution file, you must Send (in binary form) from your PC the downloaded OBJ using 3270 emulation and put it in a file in your mainframe environment; than run an appropriate JCL to Linkedit this OBJ and transform it in executable program (Job example are enclosed in Zipped files). Finally, you can run the program with another JCL (if it is a batch utility) or recalling it from terminal (if is a CICS, TSO or CMS utility).
For VM/CMS, installation procedure is a little more simple (see installation README).
The programs are completely free (and without any warranty!); obviously you cannot download HILMAS itself: these programs are only a real example of what is possible to do with this language.
