Chris, While I can't speak for a PL/I program, I know that a C program running under LE can run APF authorized correctly. However, as you state, getting into SUP State still requires an assembler program, since there are no MODESET functions available to HLL's (at least not public ones). But I will agree with you that the original poster is clearly in over his head, and would be best advised to find other ways to accomplish the task at hand.

Presumably compiled with the standard PL/1 compiler and running under good ol' LE. I'm prepared to be wrong, but I doubt there's a snowball's chance in hell of getting an AC(1) program to run correctly in that environment and even if it did, that would only get it there in an APF authorized condition. I believe the interface requirement for the crypto stuff is actually that you must be in sup state as the poster said. Not a prayer of accomplishing that from PL/1. Some asm glue would be needed and he's a self-professed newbie. IOW abandon hope all ye who enter...
