CMS-TXTLIB

Build CMS TXTLIB and MACLIB (new style).

These two utilities are similar to the CMS commands, except that they run on UNIX. They both produce "new format" output; that is LIBPDS with 32 bit numbers. This format is not compatible with VM/370.

The output from both is EBCDIC and should be uploaded

txtlib generates a CMS TXTLIB from S/360 TEXT decks, which are EBCDIC F(80). You will need a workstation assembler to generate such decks, or a utility that converts elf to S/360 object format.

Unlike the CMS TXTLIB GEN command, txtlib generates a member for each ESD/END bracket, in effect suppporting the output of a batch assembly as individual members. The directory contains an entry for each control section (SD) and each entry (LD).

maclib geneates an EBCDIC macro library in code page 1047 from variable length ASCII files in code page 819, Western Europe. Stacked copy (*COPY member delimiters) is supported for files that have a .copy extension if the first line of the file is such a delimiter.

Syntax

txtlib <outfile> <infile> ...
maclib <outfile> <infile> ...
