Oops, didn't notice the "code is executing in getmained area" part. Doesn't that cause performance issues with Instruction/Data caches though?

I've often put code in such areas for various reasons (e.g. OPEN exits, I/O error exits. etc.), and it's annoying to have to set up base registers. But I confess I think an "MVCRL" instruction where *both* source and destination are relative to the instruction address would see little use. If only the SOURCE address was relative to the instruction address, that might be a tad more useful. Then the D(L,B) for the destination could be in a reentrant area.

Is this because there's no instruction format with two RI fields and a length? -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
