No. But if in the same load module you do the above and Joe does MYFOO DXD A MYBAR DC Q(MYFOO) then BAR and MYVAR will have different contents. In really old PL/I compilers IBM put the Q-cons in the offset fields of instructions, limiting the PRV to 4096 bytes. >Will > GETMAIN ... > L R2,BAR Point to unique storage pointer > ST R1,0(,R2) Save my storage area for subsequent use >do what the comments say it does? No. But if PRVREG points to srage allocated with a length from a CXD, then GETMAIN ... L R2,BAR Point to unique offset ST R1,0(PTVTRG,R2) Save my storage area for subsequent use will do what the comments say it does. However, Don's suggestion (CEEPDDA and CEEPLDA) is probably the best way to go. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
