IDR (was: Binder SETSSI ...?):
Shmuel was, of course, entirely correct in saying that a PUNCH or
REPRO statement is necessary to "get them into the output"; but this
surpassingly obvious observation is not very interesting.
The AINSERTs and AREADs are needed to sequence IDENTIFY binder
control statements properly: They must follow the section---CSECT,
RSECT, or labeled-common block---to which they refer; and great care
is required in those situations in which sections are assembled in
non-contrigtuous pieces, when, e.g., such constructions as
|ALFA CSECT
| . . .
|BETA CSECT
| . . .
|ALFA CSECT
| . . .
are used, as I learned to to my sorrow on another occasion.
Everyone is forgetting/ignoring the need for these commands to occur
AFTER the end of the object deck. IOW: If I am in in JCL I would
reference the Object Deck and then do a DD * to insert the commands.
While you can use a PUNCH to generate the command during assembly
there is no way (to my knowledge) to do DEFERRED PUNCH (ie: For the
PUNCH output to be queued and then flushed once the END statement has
been processed).
The closest method I can think of is to make the assembly a BATCH
assembly where the first input is the actual code and the 2nd is the
set of PUNCH Statements.
IOW:
CSECT
