And I would counter that the best way to get a requirement reject by IBM is to tell them how it should be implemented. The requirement should spell out the PROBLEM in detail, not HOW the user thinks it should be fixed. Wayne Driscoll Product Developer JME Software LLC NOTE: All opinions are strictly my own.

The offsets listed in >AMBLIST for the csects are not from the beginning of the load module. IMHO it's time to submit a requirement for SLIP proceesing of program objects. The stated requirement should be to provide a documented and supported way of providing an offset within a csect, and I'd advice giving two suggested implementations: 1. Add syntax to SLIP to specify module.csect.offset, with SLIP doing any necessary lookups and arithmetic. 2. Add an option to AMBLIST to produce a module-relative offset list of sections and entry points. >Excerpt from a PMR: >I'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
