I am the OP of this thread. I had thought that I was being courteous (I did see one post which was not, but it was __NOT__ from me). But if I did offend, I apologize and assure you that I did not mean to. Also, I now realize that you may have been responding to my thoughts on reformatting HLASM input, not to the "namespace" proposition for opcodes and macros. That indeed was a bit C-ish. My main desire was to simply get away for the "fixed column" card image format which I feel is a bit archaic. And, of course, we may all disagree and have our own opinions about possible changes. That's what a discussion forum is for. I've been wrong headed many times. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 . N. Richland Hills .
