There will only be a handful of very experienced people who will ever build instructions from SCONS and SYCONS. Most people can code the instruction without the need of SCON. There are a few obscure uses. People are very imaginative. The OP has decided to use SYCON as parm list thus using more than R0 & R1 as parm registers. Additionally, I believe he's not going to build and instruction from the SYCON. Chances are he would have generated the instruction instead of building it. While not a great idea, it has the advantage of using the hardware to process the SYCON. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
