As an Assembler programmer I know it is very true, but where is that documented these days? Just give me a link, book name or search argument so I can research my Principle of Operations, Bookmanager shelves, IBM Knowledge Centre, etc. Seemed I really need 'search 101'! ;-[ Side note: After GETMAIN, I always populate all needed parts with my own known values using MVC instruction for example. I simply don't a$$ume there is something there even if that means there is some overhead. Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht
