Re: Storing and retrieving a 2-digit number, someplace that is easy to display and change from the command line, and easy to access from MI?

User Space for mine. Between the EDTF function and the
STORAGE(*DEFINED) support in CL I much prefer them over data areas.

I had thought of using a data area, and using the same pointer

But when I implemented this option, I was rather violently reminded of
why I yanked that code out, once (thanks to IBM ceasing the development
of new Twinax terminals) it had outlived its usfulness: Data areas are
system-domain, and attempting to get a pointer to one at Sec40 throws an
access exception.

I could always still use a data area, using QWCRDTAA to examine it, but
does anybody know of a better solution?
