Hi All,

In one of the assembler programs assembly listing the length of the program shows more than 100K bytes where as the base register is only one. This program is online Macro level CICS assembler program. Could anybody suggest any possible reasons for this

Thanks in advance

Maybe because you have a big buffer that is within the 4K addressability of a single base register. Or your program could be split into several CSECTs or subroutines all using a different base register. Show us the code and I will give you an answer. Our coding standards require 1 base register, and I can think of several programs bigger than 100K.

Macro level CICS is not supported anymore, in fact it's useless. The CICS precompiler will do a better job with normal command level API calls and it's easier to use.
