Hi,
What language zOS is written in to? Is it only Assembler or... I find that they talk about assembler but I'm not sure of.

Re: What language zOS is written in to?
a mix of assembler and PL/S PL/X ... PL/xxxxxx
the PL/xxxx family is a PL/1 like language with facilities to
let the user control register allocation and usage
inline inclusion of assembler fragments
if You run an AMBLIST on some system modules You will find out more
about the compiler being used
if You look at SYS1.MACLIB/SYS1.MODGEN
You will find quite a few BILINGUAL macros
the PL/X statements start with an * ( which is a comment for assembler )
the assembler part is surrounded by /* and */ which makes them a comment for th PL/X compiler
