He is convinced that parts of the code simply cannot use AMODE(31) without extensive rewriting, which he does not have the time or the knowledge to do. The assembler is very crufty and "tricky" in the bad sense of the word. Why can't I use RMODE(ANY), AMODE(31) with QSAM I/O? (rhetorical question - I do know why - this code may similar tricks such as using the high byte of a register for flags). -- 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.
