31-bit I/O macros - anyone remember when?
Hi. It is my recollection that when MVS/XA first came out the usual suspect group of non-VSAM I/O macors (GET/PUT/READ/WRITE/CHECK etc.) could not be issued when AMODE was 31. Now-a-daze AMODE can be 31 when issuing these macros, and this has been the case for years. My question for those with better memories than mine: When was this enhancement added? I expect it had more to do with DFP or DFSMS than BCP, but don't let that affect your recollection.

Hi Greg, OPEN/CLOSE support AMODE 31 since DFP 2.3 (FMID HDP2230) PUT/GET support AMODE 31 since DFSMS 1.1 (FMID JDZ1110). This was the first release of DFSMS.

Roland Hmm, that would seem to put the non-SVC macro upgrade around the SP4.3 to SP5.1 time frame. Thanks a lot, Roland - you're a champion!

I am pretty sure that the zLinux stuff supports above the bar. zLinux does not have neither a bar nor a line, does it? No need for it; there simply is no legacy AMODE24 code which needs compatibility support. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
