Using save-area module linkage conventions—APPN z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures GC27-3667-00 |
|
Figure 1 shows the save-area module linkage convention for APPN used by some VTAM® modules. To determine the convention used for your module, find the location pointed to by register 13 and check the 8-byte field preceding this address. If you find an 8-byte module name such as ISTACCRT, your module was coded using the save-area module linkage convention for APPN. The first three characters will always be IST for a VTAM module. The addresses of the module work areas for modules using the save-area module linkage convention for APPN are stored in process scheduling services (PSS) control blocks. The first word of the save-area, pointed to by register 13, contains the pointer to the VTAM work area (VWA) header in the PSS. For the save-area module linkage convention for APPN, the following
save-area format pointed to by the address in register 13 is used:
