That is the convention for EXEC PARM= and for compiler and utility DD overrides, but it is not the general call convention that I know (not what is shown in the example in Assembler Services Guide under "Passing Control with Return"). COBOL (the language of my called program) for example does not in general expect halfword length prefixes (although one could probably code for them) in the Linkage Section. In any event, LINKPGM was a studied choice, not something that grew out of wanting to reinvent the wheel.

You can fake it, and more, with LINKPGM, but why reinvent the wheel? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
