1. I expect JCL that does an execution of ASMA90
to work on MVS/380 regardless.

2. The theory about ASMBLR being on all systems
is incorrect. I originally believed it and had all my
JCL set up to use ASMBLR until I got a problem
report from someone on a z/OS system about
that not existing. So I switched to ASMA90,
which did exist on the z/OS system in question.
