I suspect one reason some shops demand that DISPLAYs are removed is historical - when they displayed on the operator's console. But when development DISPLAYs are to be removed - it's worth considering code like this: 002200 SOURCE-COMPUTER. 002300 ** IBM-390 WITH DEBUGGING MODE. 002400 IBM-390. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 805 Line(s) n 083000 D DISPLAY 'BILL ONLY RUN' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
