<SNIP> You are missing the point. The APF program was written to the spec that the parameter will never be more than 100 characters, and it was enforced by JCL. <SNIP> What about the principle that you do not use KEY0 or SUPSTATE when it is not needed? The PARM info that is passed is not in FETCH protected storage. Therefore, you should not have to be in KEY0 to use that storage. Granted, if you have set things via the PPT, you probably set up this particular APF program wrong all the way around. So is the program written incorrectly -- should it start out in KEYUSER (8) and then as needed switch to KEY0? Should it start in SUPSTATE and do SPKA to KEY0 when needed, otherwise be in some other key? So, when doing a storage move, it is upon the program to ensure that it does not overflow the receiving area (especially true for APF programs).
