I do not see this in the ASM manuals, nor have I seen this in the COBOL or LE manuals. If you have, please share the details so that I might read them and be corrected on this point. -----8<snip-----
While I certainly don't speak for Tom, I happened to stumble over this in the indeterminate past and still have the reference handy. z/OS V1R6.0 Language Environment Programming Guide 5.2.7 System Services Available to Assembler Routines http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ceea2150/5.2.7 "[...] For example, any ESTAE or ESPIE that you issue interferes with Language Environment condition handling." It goes on to indicate that for "(E)STAE/(E)SPIE/SETRP/STAX", "Host services should not be used; instances should be changed to use Language Environment condition management callable services. Otherwise, unpredictable results may occur." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
