        Well, the other issue is performance.  I potentially call this 
program hundreds of times.  So, I can build the parameter list just once 
and call it as follows:

LA    R1,SHVPARMB 
L     R15,ARXEXCOM
BALR  R14,R15 

        Or I can call it as follows -- much less desireable.  Note that 
the program address is not supplied by a V-con but by an external program 
vector list from REXX.  That is why I have to preload R15 rather than 
puting it in the CALL statement.  But, I still wouldn't want a V-con 
inserted into the middle of my instructions by the CALL with a branch 
around it.

L     R15,ARXEXCOM
CALL  (15),(SHVPARM1,SHVPARM2,SHVPARM2,SHVBLOCK,SHVPARM5),    X
      MF=(E,SHVPARMB)
DS    0H
LA    1,SHVPARMB
LA    0,SHVPARM1
ST    0,0(0,1) 
LA    0,SHVPARM2
ST    0,4(0,1) 
LA    0,SHVPARM2
ST    0,8(0,1) 
LA    0,SHVBLOCK
ST    0,12(0,1) 
LA    0,SHVPARM5
ST    0,16(0,1) 
OI    16(1),X'80
BALR  14,15     


Sincerely,
