Sir, Forgive me ... I'm confused ... I don't see the connection. In fact, as far as I'm concerned ... why even bother with HLASM vs. sticking to straight good old fashioned tested and true assembler ??.
I'll have a 'rant' posted shortly.

It is clear from this and other examples we have seen here that 1) the assembly-language sklls of most installation sysprogs under 50 are rudimentary 2) IBM's maintenance of the HLASM interfaces to system services has low priority and is deteriorating, chiefly because the PL/X interfaces are the ones that its own programmers use. I should like to see 1) exit samples written in PL/X and 2) release of the PL/X translator for customer and ISV use in writing exits and the like.
