David, You say that the subroutine linkage is different. Can you tell me where the linkage is documented? I'd like to understand how XPLINK linkage works for incorporation into some of my routines.

Make sure that you setup the parameter lists correctly. C/C++ are call by value languages. The code path for calling a routine is just a few instructions. It loads LE control blocks into registers and then uses BSM to invoke the routine. You certainly will need LE if your calling C/C++ code other than Metal/C. You only need XPLINK if your C/C++ programs are compiled XPLINK. I always use XPLINK because it almost always generates faster code but the subroutine linkage is very different to OS linkage and you have to take that into consideration when debugging.
