Darth, Great point!
However, I only used WRITE for debugging purposes and not all the time for all allocations. As you wrote, it is a personal preference. But it is an excellent suggestion for Tommy to take advantage of either way.

A personal choice here, but I've also found it very helpful over the years to include a WRITE statement for every exit: /*--------------------------------------------------------------------* /* ALLOW STORAGE ADMINISTRATORS AND SYSTEM PROGRAMMERS TO * /* SELECT THE STORAGE CLASS OF CHOICE. * /* * /* LOGIC SEQUENCE - 17 * /*--------------------------------------------------------------------* WHEN (&USER = &SPECUSR && &STORCLAS ¬= '' && &DSN ¬= &PROD_DSN) DO SET &STORCLAS = &STORCLAS WRITE 'SC00010 ' &DSN EXIT END It can be very helpful in debugging an issue when applications and managment are breathing down your neck. As long as you use some unique hook identifying the exit point, the text isn't so critical. The variables available are many & should be chosen with some thought as to what you'll need to debug.
