Glen, >> Now that I write that, where is the STM 14,12,12(13)?
Could be a VSE main program. In VSE you don't have to use std-linkage conventions for batch_mainlines (but you can since 35 (or so) years). Old method: no linkage and at end of work an SVC 0E (EOJ SVC). Source for major headaches for the various pieces (i.E. REXX with its EOJTB)- and all because even IBM sticks to the old method of ignoring the "new" possibilities. -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
