Point him to the z/OS Window Service which is available for most HLL like Cobol, PL/1 and C/C++ Also with the z/OS R6 C/C+ Compiler there is native support for 64 bit and no longer need for data spaces.
Roland -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Krew Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 11:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Data space addressability Someone who is well versed in Unix and less so in the mainframe world has asked me a question which sounds preposterous on the face of it. He asked if it would be at all feasible for a C program to establish addressabilty to memory contained in a data space. Considering the need to manipulate access registers, and not seeing any way to reliably set an access register from a C program (or reliably pair it with a GPR containing the pointer), I told him "no". Am I overlooking anything that anybody is aware of?
