Considerations when running in an LE environment and calling subroutines/programs.

Products

• Easytrieve Report Generator

Issue/Introduction

If using CALL AMODE24 and ENVIRONMENT (COBOL), the LE runtime options will need to be changed.

FILE EXITs and subprograms can have an AMODE of 24, 31, or ANY and an RMODE of 24 or ANY.

Environment

Easytrieve Plus Report Generator, release 6.4

Resolution

If a 24-bit subprogram is being called from an Easytrieve program when ENVIRONMENT(COBOL) is set, these LE runtime options must also be set:

ALL31=(OFF),STACK=(,,BELOW). 

Other Relevant Information:

Language Environment (LE) Considerations section in the Getting Started Guide p.4-14.

When the Unicenter CA-Easytrieve runtime routines are installed, one module, (ETCOBSR), is statically link edited with the LE runtime option overrides required by Easytrieve. These overrides are distributed in the form of an object module named ETLEOPTS. In the SMP/E JCLIN for the ETCOBSR module, you can see that ETLEOPTS is statically linked into module ETCOBSR, (along with the ETCOBST module). If you require additional LE runtime option overrides, these may be added:

• Change your LE runtime option installation defaults.
• Assemble the overrides into a CEEUOPT object file, and relink ETCOBSR including your new object file in place of ETLEOPTS.

If assembling your own CEEUOPT, be sure to include the following LE runtime option overrides required by Easytrieve:

TRAP=(OFF,NOSPIE),ABTERMENC=(RETCODE)
