I have a program that I am fixing to be 31bit addressing.
I'm looking at an MNOTE out of IEATDUMP coded as follows:
IEATDUMP_L IEATDUMP PLISTVER=MAX,MF=L
The MNOTE,8 says:
For the "MF" key, positional ARG 2 is required.
So, here I am trying to define the List area, but the list area
needs to be given an address to use. But I need this generated so
that it KNOWS what the size of the PLIST is.
The very fine manual just doesn't make sense in this case.
What is MF=L for? Hasn't it been to build the PLIST area with a
label?
And then, if I need to know the length of the list, I put a label
or EQU after...
I am just baffled with this. It is as if they expect me to know
what the PLIST size is to start with (if I give it an area in
storage, I better know how much it is going to ultimately
clobber, doncha think?).
We don't have to do this with other macros. What is so special
about this one?
