I am not sure what you are trying to achieve in the big picture but assembler is not something you can spend a short time on and expect to have something that works.
Rexx -- you could study it for 5 minutes and be able to write SAY "Hello World" and you would have a working first program. Not so with assembler. There are an awful lot of gotchas before you can get to first base, before your first working program. > it is OK now One of the problems with getting going in assembler is that the assembler will let you do a lot of things that will not come close to running. If you write a simple COBOL program and get it to compile without errors there is a decent chance it might actually run successfully. Not so with assembler. I could write a bunch of utter machine code nonsense that would not have a prayer of running correctly and still it might assemble cleanly. So be very wary of thinking that no assembler errors means you have things correct. Changing the subject slightly, for some reason 611 REPORTO7 DS 0CL274 612 OW0007DB DS XL2 613 OW0007OB DS XL2 614 OW0007AC DS F strikes me as disassembler output. Am I on the right track? Are you trying to assemble the output from a disassembler?

So it means that i should examine my assembling listing to check if variables are not separated by some bytes for the alignement ? When i put all the variable to Character type i don't have any aligment ... In my case i see the problem because the output is not as expected , but i guess that it can source of errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
