Could you/he contact the vendor and ask them the question? It seems to me that CA should be able to either point him in the right direction (since he is the one using the product, not you) or tell him it can't be done.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 9:53 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: insane request: force load module to RMODE(24) AMODE(24) We have a problem. We have a very old CICS application which is written in HLASM and OS/VS COBOL 2.4. We want to convert the COBOL to Enterprise COBOL. We have having many problems due mainly to lack of knowledge about the code base. The programmer doing this is convinced that a/the major problem is that Enterprise COBOL links as AMODE(31). He wants to force the load module to AMODE(24). The only way that I can see to do this is via the AMODE(24) parm in the Binder. However, we use CA-Endevor for our program compiles and links. This means that we need a separate Endevor processor which invokes the binder with the AMODE(24) parm. Any ideas about another way to do this which would not require a new Endevor processor? I don't know a lot about Endevor, but I don't see a way to use the Binder's MODE command. And I don't know if this would be easier to implement in Endevor than the PARM. P.S. I am not as convinced as the programmer that the problems he is encountering are due to the AMODE. But he is insistant and has the political backing to force the issue. The only way to prove otherwise to allow him to do his work in AMODE(24) and see if he still has the same problems. He has already done a lot of "figure out this for me" type requests to Tech Services. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
