MACRO-10

MACRO-10 is an assembly language with extensive macro facilities for DEC's PDP-10-based Mainframe computer systems, the DECsystem-10 and the DECSYSTEM-20. MACRO-10 is implemented as a two-pass assembler.

Programming examples

A simple "Hello, world!" program in MACRO-10 assembler, to run under TOPS-10, adapted from a specimen in a large collection of "Hello World" programs in various languages:^[1]

        TITLE   HELLO WORLD
        ; 'Hello world' in MACRO-10 for TOPS-10
        SEARCH  UUOSYM          ; Make UUO symbol names available

LAB:    ASCIZ   /Hello, world!
/                               ; NUL-terminated ASCII string with CRLF

START:  RESET                   ; Initialise job to clean runtime state
OUTPUT: OUTSTR  LAB             ; Output string starting at LAB:
        MONRT.                  ; Return to monitor
        JRST    OUTPUT          ; Restart at OUTPUT: if user CONTINUEs job
        END     START           ; End assembly, set program start address

If this program is saved in the file HELLO.MAC, it can be assembled, linked and run like this (the TOPS-10 system prompt is the . at the start of lines):

.COMPILE HELLO.MAC /DLIST
MACRO:  HELLO

EXIT

.LOAD HELLO
LINK:   Loading

EXIT

.SAVE
HELLO saved

.RUN

Hello, world!

.

The assembly listing file generated by the /DLIST (Disk LISTing) option to the COMPILE command:

HELLO WORLD     MACRO %53B(1247) 17:29  7-Apr-:9 Page 1
HELLO   MAC      7-Apr-:9 17:29

                                                ; 'Hello world' in MACRO-10 for TOPS-10
                                                SEARCH  UUOSYM          ; Make UUO symbol names available

The date ":9" is a Year 2000 problem. A more complex MACRO-10 example program, which renders one version of the 99 Bottles of Beer song, may be examined at the "99 Bottles of Beer" web site.^[2]

For larger bodies of code, much of the MACRO-10 code for the TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 systems is available in the Trailing Edge PDP-10 tape archives.^[3]
