One of my disappointments with TSO TRANSMIT is that I know no safe way to imbed INMR text in an instream data set: the format seems to allow any digraph to appear in columns 1-2. But today, attempting to test a trial-and-error routine to scan a TRANSMITted IEBCOPY unloaded JCL library for a digraph not appearing in columns 1-2, I was startled to find no '//' (but many '/*') in those columns. I consider this a statistical anomaly -- I found numerous '//' in 2-3 and wrapped from 80-1. Have the authors done us a favor by coding to avoid '//' in 1-2? I can find no mention of this in the documentation. I'd be delighted to exploit the feature if I were confident it was supported.
BTW, is there a new format of Publibz? Suddenly, I seem to be required to display a shelf list before I can filter for a string in a publication title. This could be undesirable on a slow connection. I'll have to see whether I get used to it. (I really wish I could have searched for "TRANSMIT" in all publications whose titles contain "TSO".) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
