Bleah. "Good form" may be in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I see very little value in macro keywords that specify if or how to create one statement of output. I'd rather they leave it to the programmer to code CSECTs, DSECTs, etc. where he wants them. sas On Sun, Feb 3, 2019 at 3:34 PM

Don exactly. I am having to reverse engineer a situation that was out of my control. I read what everyone said and i think the ECVT customer slot is much better. We dont provide our exit source, but we do provide framework in HLASM that includes a call to our actual code. Many years ago in a past
