The data I am trying to access is variable and complex to get too Would like to read the asm copybook via assembler AREAD generate and put them into variables with Rexx variable having the same name as the assembler Thanks > On Dec 29, 2021, at 12:00 PM, Paul Gilmartin >

There is no current way to determine the duplication factor (also known as the multiplicity) using the conditional assembly language. This is a known requirement for which the suggested solution is a new SYSATTRD function (for "duplication factor"), which would probably return the factor if

You are correct Sir Let me look at LOCTR and see if it can help Thanks > On Dec 29, 2021, at 9:42 AM, Seymour J Metz wrote: > > You'd have a similar problem with > > FIELDA DS7CL10 > > The length would be 10, not 70. > > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz >

You'd have a similar problem with FIELDA DS7CL10 The length would be 10, not 70. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List [ASSEMBLER-LIST@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] on behalf of Joseph Reichman

Thanks what i am trying to is generate Rexx variables and assign them values From an assembler copy book A 0cl or 0 pl does not bump up the location counter as I traverse the record I guess I could use LOCTR To see where I am at Thanks > On Dec 29, 2021, at 9:19 AM, Seymour J Metz

Most programmers would expect these two to be equivalent: MVC foo,bar MVC foo(L'foo),bar If you can make a business case, I would suggest an RFE for an R (repetition) attribute. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3

Determining a group item

2021-12-29 Thread Joseph Reichman
Is there any way of determine a group item I was always under the impression that For instance FIELDA DS0CL10 The L’FIELDA length would by zero Just ran an assembly and did a SETA L’FIELDA and then. DC F’’ and it was 10 So my question becomes is there any way of determining
