Many thanks for all the help and information you have offered here over these

There is no way I know of to select or enforce a JOB class based on the
presence and usage of any particular PROC (instream or not).
Your best bet may be to write a utility program that svans the DD's in the job

I really must speak up here in defense of Paul/Gil's long time position on the

Firstly, you are not correct that "no one agrees with" Paul/Gil's position on

agree with
"A STCK value came from the clock and is not to be considered UTC time."
Then what is STP/NTP (or whatever the current mechanism is named) supposed to

In COBOL the AND logical operator has precedence over the OR logical operator,
so without parenthesis your example is evaluated by the compiler as:

You said that SMOD (IND1) = 'R' so the condition evaluate
FYI, in COBOL:
SMOD (IND1) = 'B' OR 'R'
Evaluates as:
SMOD (IND1) = 'B' OR SMOD (IND1) = 'R'
The negative test requires AND instead of OR:
SMOD (IND1) NOT = 'B' AND 'R'
Evaluates to:
SMOD (IND1) NOT = 'B' AND SMOD (IND1) NOT = 'R'

31-bit pointers can be declared in C using this syntax:
char * __ptr32 ptr1;
Not sure if C++ will allow that, but if it does you can set your pointers up
that way and pass them as 4-byte values instead of 8-byte values. You can

got the SYNAD error.
The actual physical records are
