"My firm" (and it was only a little bit mine) no longer exists. All of its IP was acquired by a large software company often referred to with three letters, under an agreement that is 189 pages long and was crafted by not one, not two, but three! legal teams. (Our firm, their inside team, their outside firm.) I may actually be in violation of the NDA for saying what I just said. Really.
Trust me: it was all worth it. I LOVED the work, and I did not mind the transaction.

That seems to be a notably generic utility that would be a wonderful contribution to the IBM programming community. Converting such code to other languages (MetalC, HLASM, python, etc.) would then be an exercise for the rest of the community to take up. Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Saturday, January 1, 2022 7:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Determining a group item <Snipped> I started by writing an "intelligent dump" program to display the contents of an ADATA file, and then refined that until it was producing the desired output (with the dump available as a debugging option in the finished program).
