H. D and E in particular had lots of restrictions on what MACROs and COPYs
could do because of lack of memory. I believe D would run in a 64K real

It seems that the HOLD MIGRATION command worked :

Well, to clarify the point I made in the last sentence of the last post (below):
The DISPAOF command IS dependent on the action-text length field being present
in an entry without action-text (to determine if there is action-text), so the
logical thing to do is to modify the TAOFNTRY macro.
This occurred as a result of maintenance to system REXX, which introduced
several enhancements, but causes a system REXX EXEC to run under JES2. For
