:Assembler H was a completely new assembler with enhanced macro facilities. It was mostly compatible with F and, later, with XF. Assembler H V2 and HLASM started from the H code base.
:The article should go into this in more detail, absent the conjecture about the XF code base. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 13:06, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 
== Problems with external links ==
 
I've run into some issues with #external links:
# IBM High Level Assembler manual
#* doesn't indicate which manual
#* Should be ... General Information
# High Level Assembler for z/OS & z/VM & z/VSE Language Reference
#* Unable to connect
#* There's a 2017 copy at [https://www0.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zOSV2R3sc264940/$file/asmr1023.pdf]
#* I'm pretty sure that there's a more recent one online
# Web enabled IBM Assembler F compiler for small experiments
#* 404 compliant
# ASSIST – Assembler System for Student Instruction & Systems Teaching
#* 404 compliant
I'll look around and see what I can find to update these, but if someone else gets there first I'll be happy. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 15:54, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 
== Nomenclature - truncated addressing ==

:Wow, some pretty old manuals! Unfortunately they’re not searchable, so I wasn’t able to easily find references to “truncated.” In any case, the article is about software for System/360, so I think the IBM terminology makes more sense.
