From that page:
I'm pretty sure I remember using IPOUPDTE from working on CBIPOs about thirty years ago. But I was asking about the edit macro that Wayne referred to. Or are you saying that PDSUPDTE is in fact an assembled edit macro? Alternatively, maybe you never wrote any edit macros in anything other than REXX? ISTR that one could use any SAA language, eg COBOL or Assembler, apart from CLIST/REXX. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
