There is no 73-80 dependency in XEDIT/UPDATE either. Just the last 8
characters, so it could be 1001-1008 if you need 1000 characters for
your code.

In simple cases I can see that, but what happens when blocks of code repeat?
Sometimes you need both a screwdriver and a hammer.

I had a disappointment with XEDIT Update mode: If I touch
a line; have second thoughts and restore it, even by an
immediate ERASE EOF, it puts the line needlessly in the
Update file. Working in a cooperative development project,
I resorted to using basic XEDIT and generating my updates
with SuperC UPDCMS8.
I went to SR with the ERASE EOF misbehavior; got WAD.
OTOH, UPDMVS8 requires valid line numbers on both
comparands; UPDCMS8 only on OLD. So I have generated
IEBUPDTE input using UPDCMS8 plus a Rexx filter.
diff/patch is more flexible; no 73-80 dependency.
