Paul My approach would be along the lines of :
(o) Zero the field that is to contain the output workarea address (to ensure no pollution) (o) Prime the subpool input value (o) Call IEFSSI (o) Do your logic (o) Test field that contains output workarea address - if non-zero release with subpool specified earlier. Personally I would not check the RC+RSN from IEFSSI to dictate the storage release, and would rely on the service only populating the output workarea address when there is caller action required.

Is it safe (as in a good practice) to always release the workarea when the WORKAREA address returned is non-zero. ? . Meaning once the program has evaluated the return code, the program can RELEASE the WORKAREA storage if WORKAREA Address is non-zero. . The examples seem to always release the WORKAREA regardless of the address returned in workarea and regardless of the return code...What AM I miss understanding .Paul D'Angelo . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ■ 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ■ Main Office Toll Free Number: +1 855.577.4323 Contact Customer Support: https://my.rocketsoftware.com/RocketCommunity/RCEmailSupport Unsubscribe from Marketing Messages/Manage Your Subscription Preferences - http://www.rocketsoftware.com/manage-your-email-preferences Privacy Policy - http://www.rocketsoftware.com/company/legal/privacy-policy ================================ This communication and any attachments may contain confidential information of Rocket Software, Inc.
