You got that right! Or, if a "high level language" (and I use that term reeaalll loosely in reference to Easytrieve), there should be a way to indicate the value of the "parm" registers (R0 and R1). It would also be nice to be able to signal what the high-order bit of a parameter should be as well. Oh, well, it is what it is.

This is bizarre. And sometimes hard to satisfy. BPXWDYN ought to provide an alternate entry point free of the requirement so users don't to need to write wrappers to clear R0 and CALL BPXWDYN. And if you don't LOAD/LINK/ATTACH BPXWDYN dynamically you risk missing future updates. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
