How to List out Assembler Programs from a Programs List

Hi All,

I am very amateur to Assembler Language.

I have a PDS, that has Cobol, Easy Trieve and Assembler Programs.
My requirement is to list out all the Assembler Programs using "3.14 / Search Option". So on what keyword should I give a search, which is
used only in Assembler Language

Ex: for Identifying Cobol Program, I can give a search on "Identification Division".

What about Assembler Program?

Expecting a early reply!!!

Thanks

My best guess is to look for a common instruction by column for example
SRCHFOR 'MVC',18

Any and every assembler source must have a CSECT (control section), which is the physical starting point for compilation of assembler source. All other common instructions may or may not be present.

Every Assembler Progarm will starts with Start or Begin instruction. So u can give search on start or begin instruction.

I agree on searching for common instructions unique to Assembler

bBALRb
bDSECTb
bCSECTb
bMVCb
bDCb
bDSb

where b = blank/space

and those pgms with structure allow you to restrict the search to columns 9 thru 17
