The order would be that the originating Cobol program would call another Cobol program. The called Cobol program wants to know who called it because it can be called from many different programs. The called Cobol program would then call my assembler program which would traverse back though the called chain using CEETBCK and report back who called it.

I'm unclear on where your Assembler program would stand in the call heirarchy. It sounds like your Assembler program is supposed to be sort of an observer. But how is it invoked? It can't sit between the caller and the callee, because then it becomes the callee. I wouldn't be too exicited about CEETBCK, which is documented in the LE Vendor's Interfaces guide as a compiler writers interface. Or is this program supposed to gather this information later from, say, SMF or log records? Some more detail of what you're trying to accomplish would certainly help. -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our new tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
