In COBOL, that unpacking function is MOVE MCM

What does/did OPTION SYM do? Pete.

For the OS/VS COBOL product (if this was in the "back of your mind"), this created a ".SYM" dataset that could be used by the TESTCOB debugger (a "barely" interactive debugger of the '70s). This was the first part of the OS/VS COBOL product to "die" (as far as support goes) as it required an "unmovable" dataset that could not be handled in an SMS environment. -- Bill Klein wmklein <at> ix.netcom.com <docdwarf(a)panix.com> wrote in message news:dq0bjg$50q$1(a)reader2.panix.com... > In article <42hh6cF1g2vp4U1(a)individual.net>, > Pete Dashwood <dashwood(a)enternet.co.nz> wrote: >> >><docdwarf(a)panix.com> wrote in message news:dptp6e$g6k$1(a)reader2.panix.com... >>> In article <Rztwf.14858$oW.10269(a)newssvr11.news.prodigy.com>, >>> Michael Mattias <michael.mattias(a)gte.net> wrote: >>> >>> [snip] >>> >>>>Earlier this thread I replied to OP re this: I believe the IBM mainframe >>>>compiler offers a compiler option you can specify which will result in the >>>>creation of an assembler list.
