I appreciate the CLIST information you provided in your post, but I don't
understand why you have accused me of being a liar when I came here for
help. This is the first time I've posted to IBM-MAIN, but it surely won't be the
last.
I guess I could have e-mailed John Ehrman at IBM directly to get the answer,
but that didn't seem appropriate. He has helped me enough with BAL-related
issues, and CLIST isn't BAL.
I am a 46-year-old, 23-year veteran BAL programmer, on z/OS. I've seen
many of your posts, and have no reason to doubt anything you say. Any
particular reason that you've accused me of being a liar on a public listserv
without knowing anything about me?

We all know what you mean, David, but a few of us tend to prefer the
terms that are technically correct.
I started with a system called 44/PS, in 1970, with BAL and we thought
it was manna from heaven
when we installed a true macro assembler.
Nobody is actually calling you a liar, but a few will correct your terms
to be "literally correct" at times.
Leave us pour oil on troubled waters.
