@Peter, did you have an ENTRY BAR statement in the assembly? I think that statement was the key ingredient that made IEBCOPY consistently preserve the alias entry point address. I am not certain of what was the key ingredient because I kept running experiments, getting IEBCOPY RC=0, and finding no improvement in the target PDS. It turned out that IEBCOPY was failing to do any copy at all, so I have no idea what would have happened to the alias offset had IEBCOPY actually done the copy. But I think the key change in there was the addition of ENTRY BAR.

END BAR case. I had glossed over what "END BAR" meant. I do agree with Charles and Gil from earlier: If you have "END BAR" then the normal entry point for the module will locate BAR, not offset 0 If you have "ALIAS BAR" then the alias will locate BAR, not offset 0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
