Oh, I still have my debugging templates. About the only thing they're good for is as a quick reference for the Output edit codes (after 35 years I still can't recall any from memory except 'J').

Ironic, but I tossed all of my /36 manuals about a month before I applied
for my current job. Ironic because we live in the 36 environment here. The
only thing I still have (must have overlooked it when I was cleaning up) is
the Procedures and Commands summary. I could swear (and often do) that I
had a link to an OCL manual. But the closest I can come right now is a S/32
manual at www.bitsavers.org. It doesn't even cover ?R? (that I could find).
Maybe the /32 didn't have prompting.

The worst case of substitution and parameter passing I ever saw was an IBM
package on the /34. Proc-A might have // INCLUDE PROCB ?1?,?2?,?3? and
Proc-B might then have // INCLUDE PROCC ?2?,?1?,?4R? so that by the time you
got to PROCC what was parameter 2 is parameter 1 to that procedure, etc.
Really ugly and a pain in the arse to debug.

It retrieves it from the screen IF it wasn't passed in. For example, if
your procedure name is DUDE then you could type in
DUDE A,B,D,E
?1? = A, ?2?=B and so on.
