Hello,

I am using v1.4.04d with Linux and JRE-1.6.0_11 environment.
The only thing I had to do after installation was creating 3 links below to proper directory that your command can access without path.
ln -s /usr/local/lib/z390/z390.pl /usr/local/bin/z390
ln -s /usr/local/lib/z390/dos.pl /usr/local/bin/dos
ln -s /usr/local/lib/z390/cmd.pl /usr/local/bin/cmd.pl

I am not sure about Windows, please refer following link:

Hi
A couple of things to check:
1. You need to install base release v1.5.00 first. After that you can install the latest PTF such as v1.5.00c which updates bases install with cumulative fixes and enhancements. Be sure to remove and delete all
files and directories from any prior installs as some of the earliest installs
left read only files which can corrupt future installs.
2. Be sure you don't have multiple J2SE versions installed which can conflict with latest 6.0+ install. For example remove any 1.4.3 or 5.0 versions.
3. Run IVP installation verification command after install and verify return code is not greater than 4. If it is feel free to send output to me to help you debug problem as I've not gotten any reports of install problems with v1.5.00+.
4. If your Windows desktop icon is not working, you can also try starting
command line, changing to z390 install directory, and running IVP.BAT from there. If that works ok, try ASMLG demo\DEMO to assemble, link, and execute hello world HLASM demo program.

Abhishek,

It is very simple.
1. Create your_program.MLC with your text editor and save it.
2. Open z390 and point directory where your_program.MLC located by using "cd " command
3. Compile/load/run your_program.MLC by using "ASMLG your_program"

Thanks,
Dominic
