Yeah, me too, as I've said before https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05565.html Most useful when one programs with smaller code sections (subroutines) rather than the giant modules with sometimes several base registers I see in many code examples.

Many statement-level languages use a stack---typically but not always one provided by the LE---for both DSA and automatic (COBOL local) storage, and I do this in assembly language using my own stack(s). LIFO stacks being very easy to manage, their path lengths are very much shorter than those of either GETMAIN or STORAGE OBTAIN.
