I would disagree with that assertion, but I suppose it would depend on the environment, your skills, the tools available (and your definition of "very difficult" <g>).

(1) I didn't read it in its entirety, but the PDF seems to describe an assembler program that creates the REXX environment. (2) The other situation is to have the REXX environment passed to your assembler program. It is easy to debug the first situation and very difficult to debug the second situation. > Address tso > “Call ‘myloadlib(myprog) passenvb’ > Passenvb populates register 0 with the address of the envblock > > How would I debug this program The above demonstrates an assembler program executing in the second situation I mentioned above. > It tried test ‘mylosdlib(myprog)’ cp > And used ECTENVBK but now I am getting > > A return code invalid language environment The above demonstrates an assembler program executing in the first situation I mentioned above -- and that is why you are getting an error because it appears your assembler program is expecting the REXX environment to be passed to it but you didn't actually pass a REXX environment (i.e., you faked it).
