Shane's comment was entirely appropriate, although it may be that we need a
special font for irony here.
That the arcana of SMP/E, indeed some of its basic functions, are little
understood both within and without IBM is evident here several times a month.
Moreover, the same radical ignorance of the arcana of the Linkage Editor and
now the Binder too is demonstrated here even more frequently.
This time, however, the subject is a facility---that of deleting a CSECT by
replacing it with nothing---that the Linkage Editor supported ab initio and the
Binder continues to support. The question whether SMP/E can do it is thus moot
or worse. It must of course be done, as porcupines are said to make love, very
carefully.
