You can compare the listings to see any changes to CSECT size, AMODE, or RMODE. That could at least point you to where the newly compiled program differs from the functional program. > > I'm not in development, and I do not know the code.

It was used by President Reagan about nuclear disarmament with the U.S.S.R. I generally trust the programmers here. But they often see what _should_ be there and not what _is_ there. My stance has _always_ been: If you want my help, I want a program compile listing and a dump.
