I would be tempted to call this abuse of the spec stage ... I'd suggest

  | a: if locate 6.3 /MVS/
  |     spec ...
  | a:
  | b:   if locate 6.3 /MON/
  |         spec ...
  | b:
  | a:


Actually, I'm pretty sure I would code a 'lookup' that matches the 3-char
key in the table and picks up the snippet to append to the record...
