I've done both single macros with lists and separae prolog/item/epilog macros and and haven't seen much of a difference. IMHO, either is preferable to AREAD. I tend to use LOCTR, immediate operands or literals rather than jumping around constants.

If I re-coded this, there would be separate macros for each entry. A final end-of-table macro would set an EQU to the length needed to generate the code. The macros could easily be the same macro source, with a type operand. But overall, I think it's simpler and clearer than to pile multiple entries into an operand list. Much easier to add/delete entries, too (which the AREAD version also has). sas On Tue, May 4, 2021 at 5:33 AM Seymour J Metz <[email protected]> wrote: > The added parameter is in place of the AREAD. > >
