Hi,
I am using the TAR instruction to test if a ALET has been passed to a subroutine via AR1. The instruction I use is TAR AR1,AR1. I run this program under TESTAUTH. After executing this instruction under TESTAUTH I issue a LISTPSW command and get the following bit pattern under CC column "10" . This would seem to indicate a condition code 3 which means that the access register doesn't contain an ALET. However when I do a STAM of AR1 and look at what's in this storage area I see the contents of the ALET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
