So, tell me what the ADATA issues are, what you'd like to see change and HLASM improve. Asking for ASMLANX may not be the answer. I (believe) RFE entries can be marked private. RFEs allow us to review requirements & understand what required by users. You can vote on RFE items. Go cr

Hello Sharuff, I think the main problem people have with ADATA is that it's so extraordinarily verbose. That, I suppose, is why you wrote ASMLANGX for IDF. I suppose if IBM would create user settable (and resettable) controls in HLASM over which particular ADATA record types did and did no

Hi: Is there a limitation on how many ADATA records can be written? For example, when I define the ADATA file as a PDSE, and the number of records must exceed the 64K PDSE member limit, the assembly fails and I get this message: IEC036I 002-AC,IGC0005E,jobname,procname,ADATA,ucb@,volser
