For the archives, I have replied privately to Steve and David on their question, as I am not in a position to discuss it publicly.
Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Steve Smith Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2018 6:34 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Using the Binder API and MetalC I would like to reiterate David Crawford's question: why use Metal C instead of the complete C? Metal C is intended for writing exits and small routines where full functionality isn't needed. It is a crippled C environment, and while you may enjoy pushing it to its limits and beyond, you should at least be able to articulate your reason for doing so. For full disclosure, I have plenty of experience with Metal C being used... just because somebody wanted to. Something tells me that if IBM had called it C-lite, or Basic C, it would have stayed in its place. sas On Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 5:29 PM, Thomas David Rivers <riv...@dignus.com> wrote: > ... > > I'm sure something similar in metal-C would work... > > - Dave Rivers - > > -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
