It occurred to me - given that MVS macros are available on z/VM, and I have access to a z/VM system, are the VSE macros equally available? BFN. Paul.

Ok, so we want the register form of that. Then what we need is a macro expansion for when it is called with LOC=BELOW, LOC=RES and LOC=ANY on z/VSE or Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:33:08 GMT kerravon86 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-os380/message/3218 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-os380/message/3218 ...
