May I throw an odd question out here without fully explaining myself? Is "inquiring minds want to know" enough of a reason for this question?
The IBM COBOL compilers -- Enterprise V4/5/6, COBOL for OS/390, COBOL for MVS and VM, earlier compilers -- are all documented as accepting two parameters off of R1: the first is the standard PARM= halfword length and character string and the second is the semi-standard DD name override table. I have seen some circumstantial evidence that they also accept a third parameter (and for all I know, a fourth or fifth). I have a reason for being curious about its or their function. Can anyone enlighten me, on- or off-list? Charlesm at mcn dot org. Any clues would be appreciated. If you just said "I have also seen circumstantial evidence of this" or "I once heard it was for ___" it might be a help.
