I agree I have to look at the program I must be re-setting the GLBC somewhere

That's a small piece. What about the rest of the module? Surely you understand that having the macros in isolation is not helpful. For all we know, you are fetching the modules via the SYSLIB concatenation and not getting the copy of the macro that you have posted. The macro that you posted is not even syntactically correct. Did you look at the "Macro and Copy Code Source Summary" within the listing to find out from where your macro was fetched, if indeed it did come in via SYSLIB as opposed to the module source which seems to be designated as "PRIMARY SOURCE" in that section of the assembly listing? Please post a complete, concise as possible, source, the assembly of which demonstrates the problem. Such source would include the macro definitions, so no syslib concatenation is involved. The odds are close to 100% that the problem is yours. If it turns out to be so, then once you figure out what your own problem is, please post what that is. It is surely recommended to try even a modicum of your own debugging before posting about something that does not work for you. Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design
