No, it is not possible to tell that at all "after the fact". Example: load module "A" does a LOAD and load module "B". Module "A" then LINKs to module "C", passing the address of module "B". Module "C" then does a BASR/BALR to module "B". No trace of who actually did the LOAD. Even worse than the above would be if "A" did an XCTL to "C", passing the address of "B". Now "A" may not even be in the address space any more. And if LE is involved, like with COBOL or PL/1, then they don't even do the LOAD, there is an LE subroutine which does it. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
