Jonathan Scott's idea was what I thought of, (but I wasn't willing to work through the details).
Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz's reference to QUAL is interesting. I'd modernize the concept by using the standard '.' to delimit the qualifiers (I got tired of the gratuitous use of "$" decades ago). This seems to be very similar to C++ namespaces (and structure elements), and it would be a very useful addition to HLASM. sas
