Why wouldn't this work? Think about it in assember rather than COBOL. Your data resides below the line so the addresses of the data are of the form ??XXXXXX where the ?? nibbles don't matter to a 24 bit program. That data is being accessed by a 31 bit mode program, but the parameter list used to pass the addresses of the data to the 31 bit program (via the LINK SVC) will have 00 or 80 as the first byte in each address. That makes the addresses 00XXXXXX or 80XXXXXX which is perfectly acceptable to a 31 bit program. The CBL DATA(31) clause should refer to storage dynamically allocated by the 2nd program (that storage which is GETMAIN'ed for local use) but has no bearing on how the parameters are addressed. temporary storage may be above the line, but that is used only by the 2nd routine (*)

* I don't know cobol terminology, and LE uses conventions other than 'standard linkage conventions', but the processing concepts are the same as in regular assembler.

I found my mistake. I had a 31 bit program calling a 24 bit program with data(31) rather that a 24 bit program calling a 31 bit program. The first will fail, the second should not.

I will get this sorted out just in time to include 64 bit addressing into the mix!

Is this DATA(31) or DATA(24) is must be in first line of IGYCRCTL step??

What is the actual differance and relations between DATA(31) & AMODE(31)??

Niranjan reddy,

Please search before posting. DATA(24|31) is a compiler option and check this link which explains about all the cobol compiler options

Hope this helps...

Cheers
