Parameter list changes between calling and called program

Hi list, I am struggling with a curious phenomenom: Program YEMI0070 builds a parameter list for program YEXC using macro YEIOWTOD. The last things YEIOWTOD does is to point register 1 to the parameter list and BALR into YEXC. This created ABEND's. I dumped just before the BALR and the
