I believe nowadays scatter loading is back. Different CSECTS in a single module may be loaded discontiguously, some above and some below the 16Mi line, depending on attributes. What does LOAD report for module length in this case? Needed: a facility to read a load module in the fashion of a sequential file. But this needs to work for LPA-resident load modules, and even programs defined by the IDENTIFY macro. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
