hello I know this topic has been discussed before.. Im on a Z/OS 1.7 system with HLASM R5.0 ... Im trying to maintain the concept of "Baseless Code" in some programs, I keep running into some macros on Z/os 1.7 that use BAL R15,*+20 . . And as such i receive message ** ASMA034E Operand *+20 beyond active USING range by 185 bytes ** ASMA435I Record 124 in SYS1.MACLIB(IHBINNRB) on volume: S7RES1 . . I could move the routine to another location in this module, and that would avoid the ASMA034E. Is there a recommended technique to use where I could convert the BAL instruction in the macro to another branch instruction ? . . Paul D'Angelo
I think that there is a SYS????? macro you can put at the start of your code that tells macros like IHBINNRB to use baseless branches in lieu of BAL. Look at the IHBINNRB macro and see if there is an AIF to cause it use an alternate instruction.
