If you're going to propose changes in directory syntax, why not go all the way? 1. Add a COMMENT statement that applies to the most-recently encountered non-COMMENT statement 2. Compile it into the object directory 3. Provide a way to extract the comment (e.g. QUERY VIRT 190 DETAILS) 4. Eliminate the F 80 requirement. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
