I agree. In fact, when I started learning C I liked it enough that I
made a set of z/OS assembler macros and subroutines to sort of simulate
some of the C methods I liked best. For example:
#PRINTF 'IGW%05dE Member %s with length %d is too large for a PDS',
MSGID,MEMBER,LEN

In assembler I tended to code that way initially, while promising myself
I would add separate error messages as soon as I got the kinks out. Sure.

Geez, again, would it kill them to say that in the error message?
