Assembler VS? Assembler VS was known as IFOX00, IIRC. I once had a manual that explained the differences. It got left behind in a move.

That would require, at least once, the doc update that IBM appears to be trying to avoid. There may be a way out. The summary output from DFSORT, for example, includes such a link. HLASM might be updated by APAR to show a similar link in its summary output; refreshed by APAR should it happen to rot. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
