I am fully aware of that. What's your point? On
z/OS I expect the internal definition to be used,
and on MVS/380 I expect the version in
SYS1.MACLIB to be used, and, from the
programmer's perspective, be identical. And
no non-standard library needs to be included.
Only SYS1.MACLIB which also exists on
z/OS (without the LG macro).
