Researched way to dump S/370 storage and show registers in MVS Assembler. Found SNAP, similar to the PDUMP macro I used in VSE, but harder to use than I remember PDUMP being.

Used the MVS SNAP macro to dump storage areas. Completed Linux Academy Training Course: Git Quick Start
Linux Academy…success!

Linux Academy…day 5!
Still no response for my server logon problem. So for my 7 day free trial I’ve lost 3 days so far.
Linux Academy…day 4!

So much for 7 day free trial…I’ve lost 3 days already! My video shows the below (which I actually copied from the screen)…in action. I sent …
