IEHMOVE had/has some well-known foibles that could not be ignored without very disagreeable consequences. If you knew about them you could avoid these consequences; and it was heavily used, e.g., in SYSGENS, in spite of its deficiencies.
Moreover, it had some interesting design features. It was the first IBM utility that allocated and used a dataset without having a JCL DD statement for it available. Moreover, in those pre-OCO days one could look at the code to see how it did this. I should not today recommend its use to the uninitiated, but it has always had a bad rap. -- John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
