Maybe ALL31(OFF) would be the simplest thing to use - Although the programmers may not be looking for the simplest solution.

So, if you define something like this 001100 01 BELOW EXTERNAL. 001200 05 AMODE24-PARM-1 PIC X(08). 001200 05 AMODE24-PARM-2 PIC X(44). ... the called AMODE24 program should have no problems accessing these PARMs. HTH, -Victor- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
