How will anyone spec for the AI precisely what an assembler routine has to do? Suppose it's an exit that has to support a mix of specific vendor software and work in a site-specific way? I'm not saying it's impossible; it just strikes me that whoeever codes the spec (in some yet to be imagined formal form) will in some sense be writing the code. THEY need to understand the ins & outs... -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
