Just continuing in my "research", I noticed that the program in question _was_ compiled on z/OS 2.2 (we are z/OS 1.12!) and _appears_ to be written in C (just from looking at some of the stuff inside it such as seeing "sprintf"). Interestingly, the z/OS 2.2 C compiler does support ARCH(7) for the z9. But ARCH(8) is the default starting with z/OS 2.2. But the TARGET, to set the LE level, only goes "down" to z/OS 1.13 (it was 1.12 in 2.1 because I remember when I used C on a 2.1 system which is now 2.2). > > Martin Trübner; everything around "PoOps of z/arch" > -- There’s no obfuscated Perl contest because it’s pointless. —Jeff Polk Maranatha! <>< John McKown
