and this is of course correct. GOFF is required for any value of SECTALGN greater than SECTALGN(8). There are some further issues that I was reluctant treat in a brief post. APAR OA41232 of 17 January 2013 notes that AMASPZAP cannot|could not be used on a program object for which SECTALGN(16) was specified. SECTALGN(16) with LITORGs aligns literal pools on quadword boundaries, SECTALGN(16) aligns DSECTs on quadword boundaries too; etc., etc. The first few times I used SECTALGN(16) I was bitten repeatedly, but the bites were not, finally, very painful; and this sort of thing is usual with new technology. This is an old topic that we have visited before, and anyone who is new to it should review the archives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
