Branching and looping are expensive, so for scanning more than one byte, I would always use TRT for more than one target value and in most cases I would use SRST for a single target value. If it's a single byte with multiple target values, I probably wouldn't use TRT but would rather use the byte value to index into the TRT table directly. Jonathan Scott, HLASM IBM Hursley, UK
