I like the idea of a new symbol; maybe SYSARGS that is a read-only symbol that
is the entire argument to a macro including both keyword and positional
parameters. It would only have a scope of the current macro. Thus, I could
use it as a parameter to an sub-macro being invoked: MACROX
All,
Is there an easy way to pass the entire SYSLIST to an internal macro for
processing? I have several high level macros that do almost the same thing.
Rather than duplicating the common code in each macro, I would like to use a
common internal macro to do the processing. Something like:

That's right, the operands are listed after the mnemonic. However, my
presumption was the second operand is referring to the operand that is in the
second position. It is very confusing to say second refers to the subscript.
I can find nowhere in the document where the reference to operands

The code we use here at my job usually has very large modules and used several
base registers. I have seen the following technique used:
MYCSECT CSECT
USING *,R15
B BYID

BASESDCA(MYCSECT)

A while back in IBM we had rather strict commenting rules...at least compared

First of all, we had two types of comments: A block comment that was not

I do it a little different. I like mixed case for comments and remarks but
