As I understand it, Scott's COBOL programs are all 31-bit addressing. It is the Assembler programs which are not.
If any of the COBOL programs happened to be located outside the 24-bit range of addresses, the thing would stop working, or certainly not work as expected, as return-address and the address of the save-area would be subjected to a bit of stripping. This could easily be tested, as even with Enterprise COBOL V3.1, a single 16MB field could be defined, which would then ensure that any return-address or save-area would be outside the 24-bit addressability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
