Jon, notice it wasn't me (this time) doing the original post. But it's one helluva good idea, IFF we can get a full PL/I implementation on i5/OS...and not that wimpy subset we're dealing with now...and yes, PL/I is still available and used on i5/OS...even in things IBM is selling... :)
Yo, Santa....bring back that list... Don in DC---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
