OK, if not "baseless", what would be an accurate yet easy to type word or phrase? I'm willing to change terminology to be more accurate. In my usual coding, I have something like: PGM CEEENTRY ...,BASE=R11 DROP R11 LARL R11,CONSTANTS USING (CONSTANTS,ECONSTANTS),R11 ... CONSTANTS DS 0D ... DEFINE MY CONSTANT VALUES LTORG * ECONSTANTS EQU *-1 END PGM I use LARL, but an LA or LAY could be used, if placed before the DROP. Oh, and since I can't get CEEENTRY to use an RSECT, I also use the RENT assembler option to help flag mistakes in where I define a variable. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
