If you (1) post the 2 or 3 instructions following the TM and (2) post the
object code that appears in the listing to the left of the instruction then
we can help you more.

Object code may be easier for the OP (or may not).

I am not familiar with CICS linkage but could you have the same physical
module but with two entry points, one for CICS and one for batch?
If whatever (rather odd IMHO) political or managerial constraints you are
operating under will not allow two different entry points, you *might* be
able to
Right. It's bad form I guess but sometimes you do not *need* a new save
area. If the routine makes no external conventional calls then you can
check the documentation for each IBM macro used. Some require an R13 save
area, some do not (and I don't find it very predictable which is which).

CICS prohibits the use of most z/OS programming services. It just does. I

Opinions obviously vary, but I would not have any qualms about a small,
atomic assembler routine without a new save area of its own. IMHO that
often beats the heck out of the alternatives, typically a 72-byte GETMAIN

If you can't zero it, you could just comment the code heavily. If someone
I came to OS/360 from DOS/360 (after a very brief start with OS/360 and CP-67)
and I was really impressed that in OS, unlike DOS, you could write a module and
not care whether it was called as a statically linked subroutine, a dynamically
linked module, or executed as a jobstep program.
