No, it doesn't. Regardless of AMODE specification, a program that is invoked with BASR or BALR will get control in the AMODE of its caller. A program that is invoked with BASSM will have the AMODE set based upon the value of bits 32 and 63 in register 15 (assuming standard linkage conventions). When a load module that is marked AMODE ANY is LOADed, which way are these bits set in the entry point address? Of course, if a module that was assembled AMODE ANY is bound with another module that has its AMODE set to 24 or 31, the resulting load module will have its AMODE set to 24 or 31, respectively. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
