I don't know the answer to your question. Consider that a CSECT can contain many ENTRY statements. A load module can contain many CSECTs, coming from many compile units. The ENTRY specified when binding the load module can be a CSECT or an ENTRY specified at assembly time. A load module can have many aliases, each referencing a different entry point. A load module can be bound again and saved with a new name with a different entry point. Given the above, I would be surprised if the entry point can be obtained from any other place than the directory entry. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
