Ah! When your EODAD takes you to another CSECT, you
have to re-establish the base for that CSECT because
you enter the CSECT with the other registers unchanged.
Found a simpler way to set the bit in PROGRAM A using
IILL then STC in PROGRAM B and all works.
Subtle bug, though.

I think I may be missing something here, but I can't
pin it down.
Program A contains DCB/DCBE for a file; the DCBE has
EODAD=ENDIFILE
The routine called ENDIFILE contains just this:
oiy flags,endInfile
brr14
Program A opens the file and later links (linkx) to

My presumption (based on previous discussions) is that "lacunć" may be an
alternate presentation of "lancune"
Non, pas du tout! This word gets an 's' slapped on the end but nothing

So far as the character source language for "ć", if intended, it would appear
to be Slavic (Polish or Serbo-Croatian?) in origin, though seldom (never?) used
as an ending consonant.

More precisely, the plural of "lacuna" with the ligature "ae" as Tony
himself already
I have no idea how lacunae in ligature form was corrupted, but I do
have something to say about '[for though thou hadst] small Latin and
less Greek'.
The phrase not insulting. It is not even remotely pejorative. It is

On my system it appeared as "lacunae", which is a term used to indicate a
