Why, that's a mainframe application.  No?  And that would cost money.  Lately, mainframe + cost $ = denied.  We are now a growth company.  Translation...we are growing our network server base.  (Last week the SAN died, shutting everything down.  We mainframers all chuckled silently.)

  Don, if you're using AbendAid, try adding a  //ABNLALL  DD DUMMY
statement to your JCL.

MVCIN reverses the string, say "ABCDEF" to "FEDCBA".  I'm looking for
something different.  If I had a string of 100 bytes and wanted to move
it 10 bytes to the right, it would need to first move byte 100 from the
source to byte 100 of the target, then 99, then 98, and so on.  The
current move behavior starts with byte 1, which will overwrite byte 11.

I ultimately constructed the logic building the table from the bottom
up, using MVCL to move entries up.  Massive efficiency improvement doing
it that way.  Unfortunately, on abend, I don't get the greatest look at
the tables as the entire table doesn't get dumped.  Guess I have to
learn a little about error trapping and producing snap dumps.

Hi Don,

Sorry for coming in late, but doesn't the MVCIN (move inverse)
instruction do that? or am I way off?

Nothing like a dumb applications programmer question to end the week.
Is there an instruction like MVCL that moves memory starting at the end
working to the beginning.  I have a table that is in sequence.  I want
to insert a new row, maintaining sequence.  That requires shifting right
the end of the table.  It would be great to just code an MVCL to do it,
but I would be overwrite data.  But if MVCL started with the last byte
and worked its way to the start, then the shift would be easy.  Does any
such instruction or function exist?

I guess I could do something silly and build the table starting at the
end of the of memory block and shift it left as I build it.
