Just 2 cents worth on SYNC / SYNCHRONIZED. SYNC / SYNCHRONIZED came to be back in the days of IBM Macro CICS. Macro CICS used "DS 0H" (align on a half word boundary) in BMS mapset generation. Cobol also needed to honor the half word alignment for CICS mapsets represented in Cobol - hence SYNC. Beyond ancient CICS macro compliance I can't think of any important use for SYNC - if it is on by default I would suggest it be an explicit enable. Bruce Zupek On 5/14/2018 1:26 PM, Ron Norman wrote:
