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. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
