>The real issue is what LE uses to switch AMODE when the setting is AMODE31(OFF); it may be more than just a BASSM or SAMxx. I don't really know, but I somehow expect overhead and complexity in that scenario (COBOL interacting with non-LE Assembler, as specified in the OP)
Come on now! There is little to no measurable over overhead in these scenarios! - Ted MacNEIL eamacn...@yahoo.ca Twitter: @TedMacNEIL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
