>Hoping someone here has more experience with dynamic linking than I do. I'm trying to get something to be dynamically callable from COBOL on z/OS. This is old-style dynamic calling, not DLL stuff. So I've found http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pdthelp/v1r1/index.jsp? topic=/com.ibm.entcobol.doc_4.1/PGandLR/ref/rpsub08.htm and have followed that (I believe), but get S806 ABENDs when calling the *second* entry point in the target module. So either I've missed something, the example is wrong, I'm using some wrong option on the linkedit, or it's gremlins. > Hi PHSIII! :-)> >From the COBOL Programming Guide: Static calls to alternate entry points work without restriction. Dynamic calls to alternate entry points require the following elements: . Either explicitly specified NAME or ALIAS linkage-editor or binder control statements, or use of the NAME compiler option which generates them automatically. . An intervening CANCEL for any dynamic call to the same module at a different entry point. CANCEL causes the program to be invoked in initial state when it is called at a new entry point. -- Dale R.
