Conditional assembly language

HLASM Language Reference
SC26-4940-06

The conditional assembly language is a programming language with most of the features that characterize a programming language. For example, it provides:
  • Variables
  • Data attributes
  • Expression computation
  • Assignment instructions
  • Labels for branching
  • Branching instructions
  • Substring operators that select characters from a string

Use the conditional assembly language in a macro definition to receive input from a calling macro instruction. You can produce output from the conditional assembly language by using the MNOTE instruction.

Use the functions of the conditional assembly language to select statements for generation, to determine their order of generation, and to do computations that affect the content of the generated statements.

The conditional assembly language is described in How to write conditional assembly instructions.
