FWIW I once offered here a tutorial called "Converting an RMODE=24 BSAM, BPAM, and/or QSAM Assembler Program to RMODE=ANY." That offer is still good. I have probably sent out thirty or more copies over the years. It also addresses reentrance. Write me off-list at charlesm at mcn dot org if you would like a copy.
No catch. I will not sign you up for organ enhancement or any other kind of spam.

Put all your DCB's in the RMODE=24 part and your DCBE's and code in the RMODE=31 part, and Bob's your uncle. Of course, that's not reentrant. You still need to obtain 24-bit dynamic storage and copy the RMODE=24 part to the dynamic area if you want reentrancy. You do know that the DCBE's can be in 31-bit storage, right? That's the one address in a DCB that is a 31-bit address. And you can share them among DCB's, so you don't have to have a 1-to-1 correspondence between DCB's and DCBE's. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
