You just triggered one more recollection; we created several special opcodes for WSU that were never implemented anywhere else. The one I remember best was a new opcode for adding new transactions, which we decided to name PUTA, for PUT as an Add. The week before announce we were forced to redo all the announcement materials, update the manuals, and change the code, because people in Spain were outraged at our audacity in adding such a terrible thing to the language. We learned that in Spanish, a puta is a VERY derogatory term for a lady of the night. I don't remember anymore what we changed the opcode to. But IBM's processes were updated to do searches for new keywords against a list of dirty words in *all* languages...

WSU stands for Workstation Utility. It was a little known programming utility on the S34/36 to create online programs. I had 31 of them on the System 34 before rewritting them for the System 38. There is one source member per program. The S & D specs and the RPG calcs are all in one source. They are not entirely the same as regular S,D and RPG C specs. I might even have my old templete at home somewhere. I seem to recall that text was handled differently. I know there were several opcodes unique only to WSU as far as screen and file handling. The structure of the source required that the C specs for each screen be directly after each screen's S&D specs.
