That may not reliably indicate "size" in lines of PL/S code. As I recall, the vast majority of modules were migrated to PL/S by simply wrapping them in the equivalent of: PROC GENERATE ENDGEN END Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 3, 2016, at 20:35, Rob Schramm wrote: > > Maybe

Re: Need Help Idenifying Control Blocks

What is the relevance of these control blocks? If they're not core MVS related, I wouldn't expect them to be in MACLIB or MODGEN. If they are, say, CICS related, you would need to find the appropriate macro library for CICS. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 16, 2016, at 09:32, esst...@juno.com
