John, >> Three sample ADATA exits are provided with the HLASM "ASMASAMP" library --
Only in z/OS (and the z/OS, I can use, did not restore the ASMASAMP) >> you might be able to use them as models for the ADATA exit you are writing. I am done testing (with the restriction that I need a file as the code is now) >> They are described in Appendix I of the HLASM Programmer's Guide. I have seen that and also inspected the lengthy sample printed in the PDF-manual. I decided to write from scratch: the result looks promising. All that is left is to store the resulting data (and then to further process it) Did you ever try to copy code from a PDF? As and idea: a funny char aside of the space (in col 1) and an other one in col 10 and col 16 would make it a easy to rebuild source from a (PDF-)printed manual. -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
