My first post said that (in z/OS) you can't execute any code above the bar unless you move it there yourself. That means that you cannot have an executable step such as //STEP5 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 with DD statements in that step and expect z/OS to run the IEFBR14 program for this step above the bar. You have to do a LOAD of the load module, acquire some storage above the bar, move the load module to the area just acquired above the bar, then call that code somehow (via BALR, e.g.). Since you are doing all this yourself, presumably your code is also processing DD statements somehow. >The old trick of allocating vol specific temp dsn to turn on DIRF bit still work? This has nothing to do with running code above the bar, how many DDs are defined, or the location of the data sets. I don't know about this trick. I don't understand why you would want to turn on the DIRF bit. I used to have to turn it off sometimes with IMASPZAP. Bill Fairchild Plainfield, IL
