I think if you follow the standard rules from IBM for progam-entry and building 
the savearea-chain and at the end for returning to the caller (system)
then the most will be done !   Everywhere you can find such a simple program in 
IBM Assembler-Manuals with this standards - something like this,
and there is (as I know) no difference in CICS - but I will have a look.  This 
simple coding normally runs all the time without problems. Only if - start
with your own coding.

         STM   R14,R12,12(R13)    SAVE REGS
         LR    R12,R15            LOAD BASE REG
         USING GETSTORG,R12       ADDRESSABILITY
         LR    R15,R13            OLD SAVE AREA ADDRESS
         LA    R13,SAVEA          POINT TO NEW SAVE AREA
         ST    R15,4(R13)         PUT OLD SAVE ADDR IN IT
               users code starts here....
         L     R2,0(R1)           GET ADDRESS OF STORAGE LENGTH
         ICM   R2,15,0(R2)        GET ACTUAL STORAGE LENGTH
         L     R3,4(R1)           GET ADDRESS OF AREA TO UPDATE
         GETMAIN EU,LV=(2),A=(3)  GET STORAGE
                and ends here
         L     R13,4(R13)         GET OLD SAVE AREA ADDRESS
         LM    R14,R12,12(R13)    RESTORE REGS
         LA    R15,0              SET RC=0
         BR    R14                RETURN
SAVEA    DC    18F'0'             SAVE AREA
         LTORG
         END   GETSTORG

Subject: Re: Basic ASM question

I was using the convention that I use on my other assembler prog IDMS. In CICS 
this is my first try. I have also try to not put base register an the 
translator assign R3 as base register. What I want to do is just make an 
assembler CICS program that can run in CICS. So if you have some idea of what 
is wrong or  a sample of what I want to do let me know. Thanks
