You do not need to specify the SP keyword parameter on the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN macros, but that is not the problem. Are you sure the FREEMAIN is being executed? Do you have it before the exit code? For example... L R5,SAVER5 FREEMAIN R,LV=(5),A=TABLADDR,SP=2 L R13,4(R13) RETURN (14,12),RC=0 Regards, John K ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
