Hi.  I've written some code that I'm sending to other sites, but I'm running
into a problem with my use of the HNDEXT macro.  What I'm currently doing is
this:

             HNDEXT SET,(R4)

Which works fine on our ESA system, XA systems, and some other CMS systems.
But other sites generate a P-list which looks like this:

             DC   CL8'TRAP'
             DC   A((R4))

Which isn't what I want to do at all :-(  I've tried using the MF=L form,
but it seems like the sites that generate the lousy P-lists also don't
recognize MF=L as a valid parameter.  I'd hard-code the P-list myself,
except that XA uses something else to trap externals instead of TRAP, and I'd
like to use it also.

Any suggestions?   Do I just have to send people an update file with a fix,
or is there a  way to make this assemble at all sites without any changes?

Thanks!
