No, the moral of the story is as you stated in your original posting -- *never* use hard-coded offsets. If there's a supplied macro for the area, use it. Otherwise, make one. Another example of why: Ever try to modify the output format when all references to the output line are coded as things like MVC LINE+34(5),DATA ? It's much much simpler when there's a layout with field names for the output line. /Leonard
