Source record offset Source record are the terms used later. </snip> I was hoping you would share info such as "at this web page, in this section, I see this wording" or something a bit more detailed for locating the actual inconsistencies. I looked through a bunch of the record descriptions and where there was a field that was located from the beginning of the record, all the cases I saw said so, such as having "offset from the beginning of this record" in the description of the field that had offset at the end of its name. That contrasts with a field such as "offset of name entry in statement field" which I think is what it says it is, not what you think it "appears to refer to". I treat that as "offset within the statement field of where the name entry begins" and I think that that is the correct (and a reasonable) reading of that phrase. Maybe "within" would be better than "in" but use of "in" does not seem like an inhibitor to me. I have not tried this, I have not looked. If I'm wrong then I'd side with a change in that regard. I saw no references to "source record offset" but I could easily have missed it. Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design
