Thank you very much for that information. I wonder why management around here has always been pushing the "don't use the mainframe unless you absolutely must" button. I.e. do more desk checking rather than a compile to find syntax errors. Perhaps there has been some miscommunication. Or I'm just stupid (a good possibility). <snip> Doesn't this give you a time warp feeling? Takes one back to the days when machine time cost was much greater than that of the programmers. So we spent hours pouring over listings trying to find things, because it was more cost effective. Now, with the push down in the economy on wages and the like, is it that the machine's cost is greater than employee's cost?
