Fellow Listers,
I have been asked if we need High Level Assembler.
We have three exits that I know of
- VMSECURE but this can be done in REXX.
- RACF (I have read CMS Assembler is OK)
- RSCS - still to be examined
Does any-one know of a product that we need HLA & HLATK for.

No good from a disconnected machine because a read will be posted, even
if you queue a response.
The best bet that I know of is to have the caller test return codes and
exit the subroutine with one that signifies that it has traversed into
an area where the doo doo is exceedingly deep.

Converting to mathematical terms:
