It's amazing that the disassembler does as good a job as it does. Pat the guys on the back that wrote it.
Yep! And maybe one day an AI program will be able to produce better labels and comments than the original. No need for the Open Source movement :)
I think I've only used a disassembler (maybe disasm from the PDS command) to help determine if the old source code I had matched the old load module currently in production - before making changes. Typically though, when I compared the two there were always differences, but they were differences with IBM macro expansions that I assume changed over the years. One time I did find an extra WTO in the load module that wasn't in the source, so I had to add that by hand before making changes.
