Thanks for your help Don. I finally did get the symbol defined correctly …
symbol 00. ASID(X'0046') DSPNAME(symbol) LENGTH(X'1000') AREA(symbol) DROP I was priming the ESSY with a DSECT=NO version and it had a -1 as the asid word. I was only updating the 2nd half of the word with a 2 byte ASID leaving FFFF in the top half. (dumb mistake) Thanks again, Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
