Thank you for your answer. I will take a look at the 3.9 documentation.
We are using 3.6 and 3.7, planning to migrate to 3.9 this year.
I've read the LE programming guide of z/OS 1.10, and from there I took
the information that COBOL and PL/1 are non-XPLINK.
Furthermore, the doc says, that there can be no mixture of XPLINK and
non-XPLINK
inside of one program object - it is only possible that XPLINK functions
call
non-XPLINK routines (typically ASSEMBLER) by means of special #pragmas,
to support some ASSEMBLER coded system services.
If a non-XPLINK routine needs to call a XPLINK routine, this should be done
dynamically, that is, like a DLL call, or using CEEFETCH. At least this
is my
understanding at the moment.
The XPLINK routine has a function prolog which is completely different from
the traditional (reg 13 save area based) prolog, so LE has to take care
about the proper linkage.
I would like it, if the entry of the XPLINK object could be defined as
"traditional"
using a special pragma, but this seems not to be possible.
Kind regards
Bernd

Which version of the PL/I compiler are you using, that you write "PL/1,
which is non-XPLINK" and deduce from that quote that you cannot call the
XPLINK module. In the V3R9 Programming Guide, there is an example of
calling a Java XPLINK module from PL/I.
