I *think* so. Haven't done this in a while, but if you code L R1,&FIELD in open code, does not HLASM also show you in the listing what it actually assembled, e.g., L R1,FIELD01
I know it works this way for macros. Yes, you're right. Do any of the "fancy" WebSphere or similar development products offer an IDE (integrated development environment)? If not, and in any event for the "mainstream" TSO/ISPF environment, z/OS is sorely behind the times. Borland Turbo Pascal was opening up the editor automatically to the source line in error in 1987 or thereabouts.

I would cherish a tool, possibly an editor macro, that would use information such as ASMADATA to scroll to each successive occurrence of a requested symbol, opening library macro and COPY members as necessary. Does ASMADATA contain sufficient information to do this? I have encountered some compilers that have interactive modes that automatically open an editor on any line generating an error message, and on occasion written scripts that process listings to do likewise. z/OS language translators are perhaps lagging the mode in this area. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
