Steve,  Its been a while since I had a play with these things. I was looking at some stuff from an old waterloo tape and that resorted to using the load command load to calculate the length of TEXT module...   Dave  "Steve Gentry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... New program, mode'ing old ones.  This is the one I asked about last week, regarding example about loading table(s) above 16m line. Looks like CMSSTOR, in part, will help.  Is there a macro or DIAG         to tell me the length(size) in bytes of a module?  What about a TEXT deck? This has to be able to be done in an assembler pgm.

For system services macros, use the "z/OS MVS Programming [Authorized] Assembler Services Reference".  (Most of the macros you'll want are not APF Authorized.)  The data management macros are in "DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets". If this program is going to be run on z/OS, do your assemblies on z/OS, not CMS, and ignore the CMS books.  If you're going to run it on CMS, why convert the macros?  If absolutely necessary, then make sure you use only the macro parameters described in the CMS ADG for Assembler and obey any other restrictions mentioned therein.
