Speaking of RMODE 64, I see that HLASM supports it, but the Binder doesn't on z/OS. So it's unclear if LOAD supports RMODE 64 yet. Assuming support is added someday, I presume LINK will not.
However, assuming the Binder is consistent and requires AMODE 64 on an RMODE 64 module, LOAD will always return an odd address, although you can't directly use it for anything! (Based on the assumption that above-the-bar execution is still not supported). sas On Wed, Aug 19, 2015 at 7:47 AM, Peter Relson <rel...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > >I have a 31 Bit AMODE program that will LINK to the AMODE64 Bit module > > This will be rejected unless you use LINKX with AMODE64OK=YES. > > Might the programmer declare an odd address as an ENTRY for the > purpose of accessing data at that address? > This becomes smbiguous with AMODE(64). > That is an interesting question.
