Are you humor impaired? If so, you have my sympathies. Or maybe you've just be around the government too long. And, yes, I know about ISPF's "modification level" use of the sequence columns. If I really needs something like that, I'll maintain my source in a real SCCS, not ISPF. Most likely git or subversion. Yes, yes, it is more difficult due to lack of support for native PDSes. But, IMO, it would be worth it. Others may validly disagree. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
