I didn't respond to this thread earlier cause I couldn't find the document.
Don't know whether IBM would prohibit it's availability but I have the
IBM Systems OS/VS-DOS/VSE-VM/370 Assembler Language manual
6th ed(1979)
While I don't want to part with it, I could make it available for scanning.

Toth,
Brian Knittel and I would be happy to put your S/370 documents up on
IBM1130.ORG. Its planned organization (i.e. the organization that is not
currently showing on it) includes sections for "related systems,"
primarily S/360 and earlier unit record (punched card) systems. But S/370
is very cool; that'd be great. (Besides, both of us have been looking
for S/370 manuals to help us understand how to administer MVS, VM, and CMS
on Hercules.)
If you need help scanning, I will try. I have a big backlog of things to
scan, but when I start a pile it goes pretty fast (practice!).
