> I thought the macros were part of CONCEPT 14? CONCEPT 14 (http://skycoast.us/pscott/software/mvs/c14/c14-0000.html) could be what I was thinking of. It's the basis for the macro package in the HLASM Toolkit.

I do remember working on IBM 3684 point of sale systems between 1982 and 1986. They were programmed using an Asembler like language called SPSS II, it had IF THEN ELSE and other macros.
