My apologies if I have misunderstood this discussion of AMODE and RMODE. It looks like some people are confusing the two concepts. Years ago I was responsible for the initial use of GOFF in HLASM and had to add in the support for the various new AMODE and RMODE values, so I have some understanding of this
AMODE is just the addressing mode of that entry point and RMODE is where in the addressing range the code is resident. There is some interaction between them - for example, RMODE 64 will require AMODE 64. On the other hand, RMODE 24 will happily accept any AMODE. And the binder has support to create program objects with two code sections in different RMODEs - take a look at RMODE(SPLIT) and RMODEX. If your code sections are RMODE24 and RMODE31, you should also take a look at the binder HOBSET option - this will set the high order bit of each V-type address according to the AMODE of the called entry point. This then makes it easy to switch to and from different sections using BASSM and BSM Kind regards John Dravnieks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
