Upper case -- ok. Doesn't bother me either way. You have to be real careful about using lower case in macro operands, though. 8 character labels -- There are a lot of labels in IBM macros that are longer than 8 characters. For myself, I like longer labels. I find it easier to read and understand. Register equates -- I find a lot less value in them now that the assembler will tell you about all the places where a register was used, regardless of the equates. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
