In another life, I remember modifying some old s/3-s34-s36 code (FDMAS
comes to mind, but my memory often fails...)

each RPG program had something similar to the following lines:

EARRY          can't remember syntax of 'e' specs....
<snip>
CLRNLR              MOVE ARRY,1     ARRY,2
<snip>
**

IBM CORPORATION

a rather OBVIOUS example of code salting, but it kept the honest folks
honest.

Rob,

>The if's confuse me.

Those type of lines have been known to be used by vendors to "salt" program
code
to help substantiate copying of code, as it is otherwise unlikely a "clean
room"
approach to performing the same process would include the same lines.  If
this
is the reason it exists, that would also explain the lack of comments about
its
inclusion.
