Objective:

Recognize architectural features, such as instruction formats, data representation, storage addressing, and so on, which are significant to program analysis

Identify point of program interruption, using the formatted system dump and elements of information such as the Program Status Word (PSW), the Instruction Length Code (ILC), the program's base register(s), and so on

Identify appropriate standards for assembler programs in terms of program organization, register conventions, coding practices, documentation, and so on

Code and debug assembler language programs which:

Conform to standard linkage conventions using save area chaining

Define and use various types of data definitions, including fixed point binary, character, hexadecimal, and packed decimal

Employ standard macros such as CALL, SAVE, RETURN

Use various Assembler Language statements such as CSECT, EQU, COPY, END

Use both symbolic and explicit notational forms for instructions

Use data literals appropriately, and explain the use of LTORG to direct positioning of the literal pool

Create and use appropriate patterns for EDIT instructions
