Bob, The *reason* that your C compile may be using "PM3" features may be due to the compiler options that are set for your installation and/or compile PROC. Use of options like "GOFF" and others cause the compiler to output "object code" that can only be "bound" into a "program object". Other options I know of that cause this include "POSIX", which (for instance) *must* be on if you wish to use pthreads in your programming.
Essentially, using any "PM3" options or language features limits you to PDSE (which is identical to saying "DSNTYPE=LIBRARY"), or to storing your bound executable in an HFS directory (the other permitted repository for "program objects").

Really appreciate it again. Bob -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Black [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 03, 2005 4:17 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IEW2606S Doing C Programming I was going to gently suggest to Bob that he RTFM, but I checked the 1.6 FM myself and find that the message description doesn't help much. *IEW2606S* *MODULE* *INCORPORATES* feature_level *FEATURES* *AND* *CANNOT* *BE* *SAVED* *IN* format_level *FORMAT.* *Explanation:* An attempt is being made to save a module in a format that is incompatible with the features being used. Certain characteristics of the module, such as symbol length or special classes, prevent it from being saved in the specified format. In the message text: feature_level The "VERSION /n/ PROGRAM OBJECT" or "Z/OS V1R/n/ PROGRAM OBJECT". The first form is used for features introduced in OS/390 releases, and corresponds to PM numbers as defined by the COMPAT option. format_level Can be "LOAD MODULE," "VERSION /n/ PROGRAM OBJECT," or "A Z/OS V1R/n/ COMPATIBLE PROGRAM OBJECT." A load module is stored in a standard PDS (DSNTYPE=PDS). A program object is stored in a LIBRARY or HFS file. The "VERSION /n/" form is used as described for feature_level. *System* *Action:* The load module or program object cannot be saved. *User* *Response:* Correct by (1) changing the target library (for example, SYSLMOD) to be of DSNTYPE=LIBRARY or HFS, and/or (2) removing the COMPAT option or changing it to specify a more recent level. First, the "feature_level" doesn't include the "PROGRAM MANAGEMENT 3" text that Bob got. Second, it only speaks of DSNTYPE=LIBRARY, not the more commonly recognized term PDSE. Since Bob was not a PDSE user, it would require more research to understand what DSNTYPE=LIBRARY means.
