Try TRUNC(OPT), you will get:
LH2,14(0,10) PGMLIT AT +10
A 2,0(0,8)MYDATA
ST2,0(0,8)MYDATA

John,
When you get your nice new z10 you will be able to simplify it e
Tom,
I was also under the impression that new development on the mainframe was
few and far between.
But I ran a poll a while ago and the results was rather surprising. 28% of
responded that they are developing new applications in COBOL.
(Natural/adabas was 48%.) I was expecting a very low "new dev
With TRUNC(STD), I put my money on the "SYSLIT AT +4" being a binary
fullword with 10**8 since the ST into MYDATA is storing the remainder of
the divide.
With TRUNC(BIN), this is consistent w/the behaviour of "IBM Enterprise
COBOL for z/OS 3.4.1" not using any 64 bit-era instruction, e.g. rela

Having recently been downsized from a COBOL shop, I agree.
Some of them can create COBOL code to do things faster than I can do it in SAS.
And, I have been doing SAS for almost 30 years.
Long live COBOL (or for Galactica fans

When I was a UofW student in the mid-1970's, they offered a PL/I course, but
(for some reason) it was a non-credit course for Math/CS students.

I just cannot resist responding to this (sorry I am so late, I was out of the
office for 2 weeks).
I work on the IBM COBOL compiler, and if you could see the amount of interest,
the number of compiler licenses, the sheer number of COBOL
This probably was cross-posted to both comp.lang.cobol and

has CICS and COBOL experience. I don't necessarily agree with him but
he does have many good insights.
