Mounif, I am unable to comment on any 'increase' of the CP utilization. CPACF has been around for a very long time. Both the systems you mention have the CPACF function. You will need a no charge feature (not available for embargoed countries) for microcode to enable CPACF. The other key point

Indeed. As the XLC/C++ Users Guide states: __IBM_METAL__ is predefined to 1 when METAL is in effect. But the Binder API header __iew_api.h does not test it. Peter -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent:

I believe that the real issue is that the binder api is packaged as a DLL, and AFAIK you need to run under LE and use LE/"C" linkage conventions to call it.

Hi Kirk, The existing API header has all the C definitions needed to use the API in C (Metal or not) so no EDCDSECT processing is needed, but the header also includes all the function prototypes, which as we both pointed out are packaged in a DLL and unusable at present from vanilla MetalC prog
