I know about CEE3USR but never really understood how one could safely use that field. After all, if I can come up with the idea to store my anchor in that field somebody else might do it too. And then one of us is in trouble. Probably both of us... Is there a 'best practice' for the use of this field...? It would be a convenient place to anchor an application-owned tree of control blocks if it wasn't for the risks described above... > <ad> > </ad> I was waiting for that.... 8-) We are well aware of LE services: we use them a lot in COBOL and Assembler programs. We would be interested in other classes but are stationed in the Netherlands and could never fill a classroom. A collegue of mine wants to follow some Assembler courses but IBM in the Netherlands keeps cancelling them because there just isn't enough interest in these courses... So if you ever do any in this part of the world: I've got one or two customers for you... ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
