BPXEKDA - List form

Use the list form of the BPXEKDA macro together with the execute form of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The list form of the macro defines an area of storage, which the execute form of the macro uses to store the parameters.

Syntax

The list form of the BPXEKDA macro is written as follows:

Syntax	Description

`name`	`name`: symbol. The name is optional.

␢	One or more blanks must precede BPXEKDA.

BPXEKDA

␢	One or more blanks must follow BPXEKDA.

,MF=(L,`xmfctrl`)	`xmfctrl`: Symbol.
,MF=(L,`xmfattr`)	`xmfattr`: 1– to 60–character input string. Default: 0D.

Parameters

The parameters of the list form are explained as follows:

,MF=(L,xmfctrl)

MF=(L,xmfctrl ,xmfattr

Specifies the list form of the BPXEKDA macro.

xmfctrl is the name of a storage area to contain the parameters.

xmfattr is an optional 1- to 60-character input string, which can contain any value that is valid on an assembler DS pseudo-op. You can use this parameter to force boundary alignment of the parameter list. If you do not code xmfattr, the system provides a value of 0D, which forces the parameter list to a doubleword boundary.
