Bill, I'm not sure that your comment about a single PROCESS NAME is true. I just tried it with only one and the second program was compiled with the default of NONAME. You are correct that "Invocation parameters" (PARM options) are "global" to all source code within a single compile.

If the ENTRY works, but it's use is not documented, I'd raise it with IBM. Once they acknowledge (or deny) that it works, you are safe against some future change (or you know you have to change it now). I think any site that doesn't allow Frank's example won't allow ENTRY either. There was mention of "copying up the line". I think in olden days, IEBCOPY would "loose" the ALIAS, I seem to remember having to re-ALIAS things. Frank, one PROCESS NAME is enough (can also be supplied on the PARM (or a CBL). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
