Hey Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion. IEABRCX solves a part of the problem by dealing
with the branching aspect of the macro and I'm already using it. Right now I've
R2 set as a temporary base and, to highlight the problem, here's those parts of
the expansion of a GETHOSTNAME that need it to assemble cleanly:
01DC 4100 20DC 00000298 740+ LA 0,E$H10008
Set up command 01-EZA
023A D203 F000 20D8 00000000 00000294 778+ MVC 0(4,15),E$R20008
Move -1 to field 01-EZA
0240 58F0 20D8 00000294 779+ L 15,E$R20008
Set R15 to -1 @03A 01-EZA
0244 D203 E000 20D4 00000000 00000290 780+ MVC 0(4,14),E$R10008
Move error number to field 01-EZA
01DC 4100 20DC 00000298 740+ LA 0,E$H10008
Set up command 01-EZA
0290 0000277E 809+E$R10008 DC F'10110'
01-EZA
0294 FFFFFFFF 810+E$R20008 DC F'-1'
01-EZA
0298 0008 811+E$H10008 DC H'08'
01-EZA
I'd really like to get away from having to set the temporary base but don't see
an easy answer.
Cheers, Mark.
