RE: What VvRr was BLOCK(*YES) added?

 >> IIRC, BLOCK(*YES) was available for the first release of the OS for the
System/38. Maybe some of the other greybeards can confirm this.

Not this version.  I think you are talking about blocking options on OVRs or
something like that.

This question relates to the F-spec option in RPG IV that allows the
programmer to specify blocking when RPG would not normally do it (i.e. when
a random access operation like CHAIN exists in the program) It was
introduced ..... Well it seems to have been V3R2/R6 - although it was
available in VARPG earlier than that.
