Eh? I don't know of any IBMer who learns opcodes by reading PL/X compiler output. I haven't looked at the output of a HLL compilation in years. What a horrible way to learn opcodes - it's far easier to read the POP. Further, at our chosen Architectural Level Set (z800/900) we don't allow the compilers to generate instructions that aren't on a z800/z900. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
