Okay, I admit it, this is kind of an embarrassingly newbie-ish post for someone who has been writing assembler for 36 years. My only excuse is that having sold my old company lock, stock, and barrel, and now working solo, I have no old reference code to fall back on. I've got some assembler subroutines (non-reentrant) in which I rather lazily embedded QSAM and BPAM macros. That of course limits the code to RMODE=24. I would like to move the necessary control blocks to AMODE=24 STORAGE and let the code be RMODE ANY31. (The code currently runs AMODE ANY with no problems.) Question: is there any reference that provides a succinct statement of the steps necessary? (If not, why not, but that's a different topic.) Yes, I know each macro is separately documented in the two DFSMS manuals, but I mean, is there any overview of the conversion steps necessary. If there isn't a manual, I would welcome this esteemed group's input. I need to move the DCB to AMODE=24 STORAGE. I need to point each DCB to its own DCBE, which can be above the line, and I need to move the appropriate EODAD= and so forth operands to the DCBE. What else? I don't need a tutorial on 24-bit adcons or anything, I'm very familiar with the theoretical concepts and the usage of the macros in general, just what else specifically do I need to do to get from RMODE 24 code to RMODE ANY31? I'm familiar with DSECTs and copying model control blocks from CSECTs to STORAGE areas. What are the gotchas? The code in question has both DCB abend and SYNAD exits. Thanks!
