Of course!  5713-AAG & 5713-AAH  These are derivatives of the Whitesmith`s
C compiler.  As IBM has announced SAA with a C component, one may expect this
to be that compiler.

Prior experience however, lead me to find the SAS/C compiler which is by far
superior when considering multi-user, reenterant code and like issues.
The object decks from it are fuly compatible across VM and MVS IFF system
dependencies can be avoided ( data set names, SVC calls, ...).
