..just for my obscene curiosity: What IDIOT designed the COBOL COPY REPLACING statement ?? <SNIP> The committee that was attempting to provide macro type processing for COBOL. Or perhaps you would like to call it quasi-dynamic COPY Member updating specific to the program currently being compiled. Regards, Steve Thompson Ps. No, I didn't say I used it. But I've seen it used and well, I'd rather do macro preprocessing (a la CICS). -- All opinions expressed by me are my own and may not necessarily reflect those of my employer. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
