Did this ever bring back old memories :)  Anyone remember 'A' in column 66,
or '__ __ 99' when scribbling RPG on a pad of paper (for later entry when
in the office as there was no access to the system from home in the
70s/early 80s)? lol


Wow Bruce, that's impressive memory. The only columns I know for sure are columns 6 and 7. And 81, I guess.

I do remember writing '__ __ 99' on paper!

But what I really want to know is: Who all in this thread was sure enough about how COMP works that they didn't have to write a little program to verify it?

I had to try both OPM and ILE RPG to be sure. (Of course, everyone was correct.)

Here's my OPM RPG program, showing off my MOVEA skills!

C           *ENTRY    PLIST

C                     MOVEA*IN,10    RES     2
C           '10-11'   DSPLY          RES
C                     RETRN
