And just in case someone sees the SWAP command in a program, that statement
has the same effect on data as the CHANGE command, with a really different
format:
BUBBA = 'AS MUCH WOOD AS A WOOD CHUCK WOULD CHUCK IF A WOOD CHUCK DID CHUCK
WOOD'
*SWAP 'WOOD' WITH 'CHUCK' IN BUBBA
is the same as
BUBBA = CHANGE(BUBBA,'WOOD','CHUCK')
PRINT BUBBA
AS MUCH CHUCK AS A CHUCK WOOD WOULD WOOD IF A CHUCK WOOD DID WOOD CHUCK
:-)
The swap command came first, and someone along the way decided that it was
not in the same format of most of the other commands (starting with
'variable=' instead of the variable at the end) and so they added CHANGE.
For what it's worth.....(nothing?)
I've spent the day summarizing the VICS bill of lading format for a client
in 'understandable' language, which is akin to trying to explain the theory
of relativity using only five words, three letters each or less! I needed a
break !!!!!!!

Subject: RE: [U2] Convert Statement Not Working
Nor does it like the program name "R".
This, obviously, is because the "C" and "R" are options to VLIST.
C: converts FMT,LEN,FOLD opcodes to DP ones, i.e. FMT becomes FMTDP, LEN
becomes LENDP, etc. Warning: This option UPDATES OBJECT CODE when used!!
R: print reference numbers instead of symbols
