I wrote a test job (nothing to do with APF-authorised programs) which executes the COBOL compiler (IGYCRCTL), a COBOL program, the high-level assembler (ASMA90), an assembler program, and the LOADER, which all successfully process a long PARM (200 bytes) - it's all here: http://gsf-soft.com/Freeware/EXECPGMJ.shtml Again, none of the programs are APF-authorised. To pass a long PARM to the programs, this test job uses the EXECPGM command which is available here: http://gsf-soft.com/Freeware/ -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
