The LONGPARM attribute on a load module (or program object) is only checked during the initial establishment of an APF authorized job step. What do you think "the 100-character limit is enforced" would mean for ATTACH, LINK, XCTL, CALL, etc.? When a program calls another, the calling program creates the parameter list. When the initiator ATTACHes a program, the initiator uses PARM or PARMDD to set the parameter list, and it does so with the limits that were discussed. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
