I do something similar; if the option is RENT, I define an RSECT, else CSECT.

I am writing a simple macro which can be used to insert an appropriate SETOPT line to set the link/bind REUS attribute: MACRO , &LABEL REUS &REUSOPT AIF ('&REUSOPT' EQ 'RENT').OPTRENT AIF ('&REUSOPT' EQ 'NONE').SETREUS AIF ('&REUSOPT' EQ 'SERIAL').SETREUS AIF ('&REUSOPT' EQ 'REFR').OPTRENT MNOTE 8,'INVALID PARAMETER #1' MNOTE 0,'VALID OPTIONS ARE SAME AS BINDER REUS OPTIONS:' MNOTE 0,' NONE, SERIAL, RENT, REFR' AGO .EXIT .OPTRENT ANOP , * something here to turn on ASM RENT option... .SETREUS PUNCH ' SETOPT PARM(REUS=&REUSOPT)' .EXIT MEXIT , MEND , Ideally after the .OPTRENT label there would be something that would also set the assembler RENT option. But since a *PROCESS option must occur in the source before any other source statements (other than ICTL) I don't see how I can do it. Any thoughts?
