There is a vendor BP that does this sort of thing with an automated tool.

A space in an operator command is the separator between operand and comment.
That means that space has to be treated differently from other characters. What
the RFE would ask for is to suspend that special treatment for spaces within
framiong characters.
I don't know how difficult it would be

Oh, it's even more complex.
Sometimes the product is a product itself, but THIS SHOP has a bundle,
which is another contract position. And the bundle may consist of
products or ... bundled products. Yes - bundle within bundle. BTDT.
In some cases software inventory can be really complex. SMP/E,
How many years?
Well, I know a banking company which moves off mainframe.
10 years.
They even claimed success, but... But still all the processing is being
done on mainframe.
And the money is spent on Windows servers. Hundreds.

Actually we are only interested in what a specific smp/e has. `the
answer is in the product record and it is sufficient for us.

Well, MODIFY is handled entirely by MGCR inside the Communication Task, while
START is also processed by the Master Scheduler. I'm not sure at what point in
the processing the fourth START parameter goes into the START CIB.

My primary concern was to not leave newbies guessing, although I would
certainly be pleased if someone were able to do an RFE with a compelling
business case to allow embedded spaces within all quoted text. It would also be
nice if they could justify allowing quotes as an alternative framing

Automatic conversion of assembler code has been around for decades. And, yes,
it is a bear for complicated architectures and a lot of work even for simple

The selection of "best language" is subjective and IMHO it makes more sense to
talk about the best language s for specific problem domains.
I'd rank PL/I above HLASM, but must admit to supplementing my PL/I programming
with utility subroutines written in assembler.
For processing large arrays,

rarely used in the USA. (Best language?
