Tony, I checked the SKASMOPT source and there is no overwrite from me. Also: DELETE has no operands (specified as DELETE=,).
With the info from Jonathan I can settle this chase- It looks odd to me that HLASM does not accept an overwrite from a PARM for this parameter (while doing so with the LINCOUNT) - but there is no point in pursuing anything. No, I am not crazy - it ist just the 38 C (105 F) we have - that is all. -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
