Yes, prior to Release 14, but I'm also asking whether procs were part of the original design or added later. >Is resolution of SET symbols performed by the C/I? It's performed by the Converter. >does the phase that resolves symbols pass control blocks or JCL text >to a later phase? The Converter generates internal text after substituting variables. In the process it generates messages with the substituted text. It does not generate card images. >It's a design targeted at too little storage, resulting in too many >phases. Not the Reader/Interpreter[1]. Some other components, however, were a dog's breakfast. Take allocation - please! [1] Original name of the Converter/Interpreter plus some code that is not relevant to MVS. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
