If reminiscences are in order..

Anyone remember RPG's BITON, BITOFF ?

Once upon a time I used them to construct op codes for a Wenger printer
that was able to print reverse image text (white on black).

Hey!? Microfiche was not just for the /34!? I worked for Zink and Katich
when I was just a babe, and I remember going through the S/38
microfiche.? Ah, those were the days... patching IBM programs to make
our own commands.

Jon,

Oh no, PL/MI is nothing like assembler (which I'm well aware you know).
I'm talking 370 and (does anyone remember it?) the S/34. Oh those were

Interestingly had the original question been about C or MI I could
understand it since they still have utility. It was ancient RPG that

and (at the time) I didn't know we were talking V5R4.
