I am new to assembler program. How can I display the value of a variable? I am looking for somthing similiar to "say var1" in REXX.

Use of GFO <variable name> will also do the trick.

What is GFO? A local macro? A command in some debug environment? A console command? By runtime, variable names are lost in assembler unless you use compile options and environments that retain that information elsewhere. Please supply a more detailed answer because there is no way know what you are referring to here.

Having said that, some shops have macros specifically for this. They may do a WTO (write to operator) macro, they may write to a log, use TPUT to a TSO screen, set a specific abend condition for a debugger, or do other things. WTO is common because it is easy to write, but other solutions are more flexible.
