Hi Sam, Just a bit of background...
If you go here : http://www.stben.net/files/MVS_3.8/asm/ you can find a mostly complete set of routines for MVS 3.8J. In there you will find: http://www.stben.net/files/MVS_3.8/asm/TSO%20VTAM%20(IKT)/ which is the source code for TCAS... And in there you will find http://www.stben.net/files/MVS_3.8/asm/TSO%20VTAM%20(IKT)/IKTCAS54 which is the TCAS parm processor. If you check the logic you will see that it checks for a ',' to know how to continue or to stop processing keywords. This is why all the keywords have to come first in the member :) Anyway, a little bit of trivia for you :) Joe On Sun, Oct 25, 2020 at 1:10 AM Sam Golob <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Folks, > > Thanks to Joe Monk for getting me the correct information.
