This matters less for LPA modules. How much is this helped by now-prevalent forms of caching? Or electively stage to VIO? It would also be valuable to have utilities to convert data area definitions to offsets that Rexx could use in STORAGE() or SUBSTR() calls. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
