A number of the tables that I routinely LOAD above the bar are compound ones comprised of several atomic tables, not all of which are always present. The compound table's stub thus contains pointers to these atomic tables, and some of these pointers are sometimes nul. All of this now works for me after much less travail than I had expected. I would rephrase Peter's formulation, "(it better not have any 4-byte relocatable adcon's)", slightly, changing it to "it better be AMODE(64)". His point is in a certain sense, or at least ought to be, obvious; but that does not make it less important. Students, mine anyway, often fail to understand that AMODE is relevant for tables too.
