However, Enhanced HOLDDATA, which includes HOLDs for HIPERs, has not
been around for 20 years. In fact, the pre-GA pilot progam wasn't even
20 years ago (more like 12). Without digging through notes and such, my
best guess is that Enhanced HOLDDATA will have something close to its
10th birthday this year.
I should have mentioned, though, that SMARTMVS, on which Enhanced
HOLDDATA was built, was around well before that. (SMARTMVS,
including some SMP/E extensions, was available through your
friendly IBM SE at the time. I'm reliably told that it dated
from 1984-ish.)
