So, my thinking is, if AI is used by the wealthy to increase
their wealth it will be done on the backs of those least able to
prevent it. And why I have said that the Laws of Robotics needs
be implemented at the hardware level while we still can.

I think I also triggered this by trying to show why we (the

Not sure this is correct (VBS sizing). If I remember correctly

Could someone point me in the approximate correct direction?
Or have I stumbled on a situation where ISPF and COBOL 6.x are
not in synch?

Thanks for that.
I just started experimenting with "functions" in COBOL 6.2 and
saw those constructs, and just hadn't tried them yet.

Have you tried View? It behaves the same as Edit, but does not
