Working for an ISV I was once tasked with enhancing an MVS 3.8 module from the legally available PL/S generated assembler. For both MVS and VSE. The generated labels disagreed so I needed to duplicate much of my work. And while the original PL/S properly defined constants with EQU, comments mentioned the assigned value, so when I changed the EQU I needed to chase the references and change the coments also.
Apparently the original coding standard had required a comment on every line. In some cases the coder had satisfied this with nonsensical comments. I deleted the nonsensical and newly incorrect comments. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
