Re: AW: PL/I and optional parameters
The name of the program is ESCHATON, and irrespective of the number or value of parameters passed, always returns 42. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

OK, I've been watching this thread with growing curiosity and I can't stand it any longer: What in the world are you doing with a subroutine with that many parameters? Is the code that calls this routine machine-generated? I can't imagine a human being coding such a call. -- Jerry -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: AW: PL/I and optional parameters
LIST has been part of PL/I, and most high-level languages, since at least the 370...that's a far back as I go! You can use LIST to get an listing of the assembler generated by the PL/I statements in your module. You can also limit the output by using a LIST(n,m) where n and m are the line numbers in your program for which you want the assembler to be shown. These are the actual line numbers used by the compiler, not the editor line numbers. If you use LIST, you many not want to use OPTIMIZE, so you see the assembler in the same order as your code before the optimizer re-arranges it. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
