Thanks Rick ThatÂ’s exactly what I am finding out.. It does not matter what Linkage editor statements I use (Thanks Steve) I cannot create multiple entry points in a PL/1 load module and make them independent runnable unit.
If I am not asking for too much, can someone please provide a working example or pointers in the right direction for PL/1 subroutines that has multiple entry points. I will go through rest of this thread and make my tiny brain work hard.. I did find a sample skeleton in IBM PL/1 Library but so far not able to make it work. /* Rick Wrote : I think you'll find that multiple entry points are NOT permitted for a PL/I Main Program; only for a subroutine, where the PL/I environment vis-a-vis save areas, error handling, etc. are already established. */ Thanks for your help.. regards. Munif PS. Steve - I will be in touch with you, we do have technology gap here in XML parser, GDPS and WLM / IRD - ARM etc ..etc despite having collective 300Yrs+ sysproging experience and most of the technical staff are ex IBM sysprogs ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
