I tried your suggestion, which expanded to "literal F8C2 ..." and Pipe
crashed with...
FPLPMC079E CCW command code X'C6' is not valid
FPLMSG003I ... Issued from stage 4 of pipeline 1
FPLMSG001I ... Running "printmc"
+++ RC(79) +++
Thinking the "c2x()" function was the problem I tried with "x2c(8B)" and
that allowed the pipe to finish but the literal line was missing in the new
file.
I am now trying Jim Hughes' ...
'|MCTOASA' ,
'|literal 1' space(line) ,
'| asatomc ',
'|printmc'
