Thanks John.

It's good to know that the SHARE requirement has not gone the way of the 
punched card.  Even when I was writing my comment, I knew that NOTHING is easy 
for IBM.  I'm sure that somewhere in the IBM universe this simple enhancement 
request got bogged down under a mountain of managers, lawyers, accountants, or 
other bureaucrats.

I put this in the same category as the request to expand the 100 byte PARM 
limit -- users want it, implementation should be easy, but it's not going to 
happen.  Why don't you just come clean and admit that you lost the MVS source 
code in 1992!  :-)
