Yes, I do too. We had this conversation a few years ago, probably in the TSO-REXX listserv, and there were advocates on both sides. But I'm firmly in the your camp on this one: The END statement is (in my mind) subordinate, and therefore indented.

Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2021 09:23 It's a small thing, but I now longer try to cram as much code into line as I can. Now I put spaces between operators and variables and after commas. I also put the clauses following "THEN" and "ELSE" on another line. Oh, and I used to this: LOOP MVC HERE,THERE And now do this: LOOP DS 0H MVC HERE,THERE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
