Hi,

I want my program to stop checking array index/subscript.

Can some one please let me know the equivalent command for NOSSRANGE in PL/I?

Thanks!
Sati

Another TS who posts without having RTFM, where the answer to his question could be found in about a minute.

PL/I does not check subscripts, unless you explicitly tell it to do so. FWIW, if your site forces it on (and they can), they will have sound reasons for doing so and you have no reason to stop them.

why oh why people are so lazy not to look at the manuals and expect other people to do their job...

a quick and dirty google for "PL1 SUBSCRIPTRANGE" gave as first hit
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ratdevz/v7r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ent.pl1.zos.doc/topics/sdes.htm

as confirmed also by
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ibm3lr60/17.20?ACTION=MATCHES&REQUEST=subscriptrange&TYPE=FUZZY&SHELF=IBMSH360.bks&DT=20071130131006&CASE=&searchTopic=TOPIC&searchText=TEXT&searchIndex=INDEX&rank=RANK&ScrollTOP=FIRSTHIT#FIRSTHIT

also the TS understanding of subscriptrange is reversed
as can be seen from the posted links
