Peter, not sure if you are replying to me or Binyamin but in any event I have absolutely no complaints with the documentation. It is eminently thorough and clear. I just had not yet read that part. The question I had been researching at this point was "will I need an R13 save area?" not "how does POST LINKAGE=xxxxx behave overall?"

Some variants of POST LINKAGE=BRANCH do save most registers; some do not. The authorized assembler reference is quite clear on tis subject. You're right that in the most extreme case, only register 9 is preserved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
