Subject: Blast from the past
I just suffered a brain warp. I browsed a production source member for a program that is called by the program I am currently working on. All files program-described, including the workstn file. COMP op codes. Left side indicators.
The maintenance log implies that it was originally written on a S/36.
What's funny/sad is that, for some reason, when they migrated to the AS/400, they "enhanced" the program by creating an *ENTRY PLIST for all of the LDA values that were previously passed into the program via the LDA.
The calling CL passed the LDA values into variables that were then used as parameters to call this program.
To be fair, this 200-line program (including I/O specs) has been modified 5 times since its creation in 1986, the last of which was in 2001.
I'm not sure why I was compelled to share this here. Empathy? Sympathy?
Laughs?
