The simple MOVE did everything we needed - anyone want to vote for IBM
bringing back the opcodes they didn't put into free form? This is an

Why not use MOVE then? I know, I know - aesthetics. I have a
smarty-pants answer for that too.

Old code, and it's clearly stated that I'm not to do major surgery! No
time, mostly.
We all of us have been there. Write a quickie sub-procedure that does
the conversion via MOVE. All the working bits are now local storage
rather than global, which will make the program more resilient to
change. In the mainline, where the MOVE used to be, insert the
sub-procedure call and you have an aesthetically clean bit of
refactoring that still uses the old but reliable MOVE in a new and even
more reliable way.
