Re: IBM Mapping macro for ISPF statistics in PDS Directory entries?

I found this macro in the ISPF maclib. It's not convenient for me to look for it now, but it should be easy to find. btw, this question was asked before... in 2004. sas On Fri, Dec 28, 2018 at 7:35 PM Ed Jaffe wrote: > On 12/28/2018 2:40 PM, David Cole wrote: > > > > I'm looking for an IBM wr

@ Peter Relson Peter, you say "Adding system symbols is not something that a program should be doing". By 'a program', do you mean 'a user-written program', as opposed to a 'system utility'?
