:::Looks fine to me. I do still wonder, though, if they should be separate articles. We wouldn't have the same article for Unix assembler and Windows assembler, even when running on the same hardware. As I never had the chance to run anything on DOS/360, it took some time to know how different they are! [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 09:09, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
::::The references to [[z/OS]] and [[z/VSE]] are just examples of the fact that HLASM allows user-provided libraries and does not dictate the contents of those libraries. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 11:23, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
:Essentially the same is true for anything that allows user-defined libraries: the semantics, and sometimes the syntax, depend on the libraries that the user provides. There is nothing special about, e.g., ''SYS1.MACLIB'', from the perspective of HLASM. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 11:23, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
