But are there any E15/E35 exits in play here? I ran into a similar problem in 1.13 where a COB2 exit (coded in COB2) was working prior to z/OS 1.13 using COB2 runtime instead of LE. I forgot what problem they initially had, but it wasn't an OC4. When I had them remove the COB2 runtime and pick up LE from the LNKLST, then they got the 0C4. The problem was a bug in the E15 in the way they read a user parm input. The code was always bad (they didn't read the parm into working storage). I have no idea how it ever worked. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:m...@mzelden.com Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
