There is no directory header block. There is a user data field for each directory entry, but that is preempted by the linkage editor and binder. You could add an SSI, but that's limited to 4 bytes. Would it saqtisfy your requirement to put the git tag in the IDR data?

Is there I can do that via the Binder or do I have to write an exit to BPAM processing, which I am trying to avoid. We are trying to insert GIT tag information into the directory header for our programs. Does any one else know another way ? These are COBOL and Assembler Regards, Scott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
