Hi Ed,

You said you highly recommend using AREAD & AINSERT. With their limitations and 
restrictions, I'm surprised you could be so unequivocal. Can you show us an 
example of a second macro using one an AREAD based macro with the data in that 
macro?

After looking at the BRANCH_ON macro, would you want someone unfamiliar wth 
AREAD to model their code after it? AREAD certainly gives you a lot of 
flexibility and I have used it but it should be used with caution. 

Regards, Jon.

AREAD/AINSERT is arguably the most powerful single mechanism in all of 
HLASM.
