I have used the MVI followed by MVC since College. It works. What this guy was suggesting for a change, I am curious, if we changed things so that that would work, would it then allow the typical buffer overflow issues which distributed land is plagued with? If so, I would HIGHLY recommend AGAINST doing something like that which would enable ease-of-hacking in mainframe land. Also, as a an additional comment, PLEASE, PLEASE stop trying to change mainframe assembler to look or act according to distributed conventions. Distributed conventions are inferior, generally speaking. And I know a little about Unix, too, so I am not utterly speaking off the top.
