Hello Jeff!

Thank you for the announce of innovations.
Just one...two questions.

Without documenting it? In CMS/TSO Pipelines 
Author’s Edition,
p. 557 (585 of the PDF), paragraph beginning with /The record number/
I find "right aligned".

Since you stated some days ago

I looked for the z/VM 7.1 CMS Pipelines USR GDE & REF MNL and
found it accessible for free. About 'specs' positioning recno it
says: "right aligned" (p. 573, p. 601 of the PDF). For me this is
/documenting/ enough.

IMO, everything else is pretty unwise.

Which documentation? That of NetRexx Pipelines of course, Guide
and Reference I assume, ISBN 978-90-819090-3-7. Would you please
be so kind and give out where exactly the default placement to the
left is documented, part/chapter/page.

First two lines show

> Stages Built Into
> NetRexx Pipelines 3.11

while version 4.03-GA of NetRexx Pipelines Guide and Reference
shows on p. 36 (p. 42 of the PDF)

> Stages Built Into
> NetRexx Pipelines 4.02

BTW, you suggest _not_ to use the Author's Edition as a reference,
for not more than a general User's Guide, so general users using
the (dated) author's edition might be puzzled every now and then
finding deviations in NetRexx Pipelines.

Best,
M.
