Max don't you have a test suite to exercise your 1500 modules ?
If your code produces a piece of paper with a blank line in it what do you care that it could have been MVC reportline,blanks instead of MVCL R0,R14 (with registers set appropriately) to produce the blank line ? You could train to pole vault over a 182 cm wall (six feet still sounds better) but why not walk around it ?

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> The main reason is as simply as hard. We've got a set of source and load code. We're not sure the load are exactly related to the original source (more then 1.500 modules so I need a massive attack). The main idea is to regenerate the load from the source using the same compiler level and options and afterwards comparing the single "applications" csect. I think compilers options (not to tell the apar level of the compiler itself) are really important in order to generate a "similar" csect. Thanks a lot again.

Some code generation options "may" be discernable, depending on the language and the version of the compiler. However, the is no cut-and-dry answer. What is the reason for your inquiry? John P.

Hi everybody, I'm wondering if and how is possible to discover the compiler options (Cobol, PLI etc.) looking at a csect in a load module. I was not able to find out anything at IBM site. Thanks a lot for you time. Best regards.
