I see the Linkage "Problem" as one that should continue to work as it did in V4. After all, many languages use a simple pointer to refer back to the real storage in the calling program.
Other things, such as overrunning an array's subscript, which was a favourite trick of mine in my FORTRAN days, is definitely a violation of the intent of the rules and you do so at your own risk. When the compilers are changed...well, you asked for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
