I think Ken meant to say 360/20, since that's what the sub-thread has
been about.  Indeed, he mentions the model 20 elswhere in his post.

Yes, and I found the 360/20 Func Char manual at one of those sites. I
guess my memory is going, because it does not list TRT or EDMK which I
thought I used (particularly EDMK) -- I did a lot of payroll and
accounting in those days.

I remember another system (Galaxy/5) that did not have a macro processor
and also didn't have an "EDMK" type instruction because it was ASCII w/
BCD type arithmetic. I hated floating in "$" in that code. Again,
payroll and accounting.

Later,
Steve Thompson
