Re: SETGT *End/*Start

I saw that, and also noticed they called it a "special value".

Yes, its included in the WDSC Help manual. However, in publib.boulder V5.2
the reference has the left bar ,'|', on the doc meaning the *start/*end
info is somewhat new
and, I think, not because of a new release.

I was beginning to believe I found a situation were the manual was NOT
showing all avaliable
uses for the SETGT for the reverse reason. Through google searching I did
find snippets
using the special values with SETGT, one of thoses snippets was here back in
2000.

Again, I found this one to be a strange one, I would not have thought I
needed to look this one up.

I understand its not feasible to list all outcomes that's not

appropriate

but I feel this should have been an exception, I could have lost a
paycheck on this one!

The help text for SETLL specifically states that *START and *END are

special

values, while the help text for SETGT does not. That combined with the
error message leads me to believe that *START and *END are not supported
with SETGT.

I suppose a comment along the lines of "Note that *START and *END are not
supported on SETGT" might have been helpful, but as you note, listing the
options that are NOT supported for a given opcode would make for a very
large manual.
