I remember SPM/OL? pretty well.? Used it on
CICS 1.3 and DOS/VS R34.? All of us in apps and systems modified
our source that way.? It had several quirks, one being that
multiple people could edit the same source member at the same
time.? When you committed a change, you were only committing the
changes you could see on your screen.? As soon as you scrolled
to the next page, the previous page was written to disk.? As a
systems programmer, I used to have a lot of fun taking advantage
of that little bit of info.

I found this:

Someone else remembers "SPM/OL"... it was an "edit and submit"
type of tool, perhaps reminiscent of CRJE?
In those days, circa 1980, Pansophic Systems Inc. had a competing
product called "PVOL" for "PanValet On-Line" that ran under
CICS/VS on either DOS/VS or OS/VS.
Hope that helps?
