There have been extensions made to IBM's Assembler H which address all
your requests, and then some. These extensions were made independently
(and likely incompatibly) at the University of Michigan and Stanford
Linear Accelerator Center. I have no direct knowledge of the SLAC
version, other than it is available through the SHARE Program Library
Agency. The MTS version also supports a very nice set of structured
programming macros.

In addition, I have three structured programming macro libraries
that work with the standard (ie. no extra charge) IBM Assembler.
As they aren't mine, I can't forward them to you. But, if you are
interested, I should be able to track down their authors so that
you can request your own copy.
