The OP's question was about the first word in the save area (word 0), despite "Word-1" in the subject line. The values F4SA, etc. (not FMTx) go in the second word of the save area (word 1). That's the same word that contains the address of the previous save area in the "standard" 72-byte save area. They do not describe the format of the save area in which it is contained. They describe the way that the program that allocated the save area saved the registers in the caller's save area upon entry. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
