OK, I hope I'm not becoming wearisome with my yammering. But I am not too busy right now. And I still really like and respect the z architecture (despite its horrendous price). I ask about the CPU cost of an EX because that same program that I'm working on uses the EX a fair amount to move "variable length" strings into a blank-initialized area for reporting purposes. Instead of EX of an MVC, I could use MVCL or MVCLE.
As the task is to move stuff to a buffer for reporting purposes, the cpu time will be negligible compared to I/O time. Confucius say: If it works, don't fix it. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
