It's more like LINK than like CALL. If you want a jobstep parameter, why not use address LINKMVS, which builds the HW length field automatically?

A trick it taught me is that ADDRESS LINKPGM closely emulates HLASM CALL. Halfword length is optional; you must craft it yourself. It both issues requests and receives replies in the HLASM parameter list. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
