Indeed. This is by design. >The general advice is to avoid AMODE switching when you can. Yes. Here I agree! Ok, to Jerry Callen: You said: "I have an AMODE-64 function that needs to execute a short segment of AMODE-31 code in a loop (I know this sounds wacky, but there is actually a reason why I just can't change the AMODE-31 code), ..." Please tell us WHAT is that short segment doing? Doing some I/O? Perhaps you can call an AMODE-31 program which then execute that loop segment from start to end. When finished, you come back and continue on AMODE-64.
