Calling ACFBATCH in assembler

[Jake Anderson]

Hi,

Is there anyone who has been successful in calling ACFBATCH via assembler ?

Regards
Jake

Jake,

Is that an interface to ACF2?

If so, have you tried it yet? And if so, what did you see as a result?

Or, have you gone to communities.ca.com (you need a site number to join for free) and posted on the ACF2 community site?

I tried Calling but it fails with S0C4 reason 11, fails at the point of
calling ACFCMD macro

I would start off with the obvious.

As it is a JS program, it expects R1->Word->H'length',C'parm'.

What is in R1 when you call it?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

Assuming this is a program that gets called via JCL then it’s trivial to call it from your own code.
As previously noted, you will likely need to set R1 to point to a valid PARM construct (zero-length if no parameters).
If you’re LOADing the module and branching to it you may need to switch and restore AMODE.If the module was linked with AC=1, an APF authorized environment may be required.
You may want to LINK to or even ATTACH the module if it has AC=1 and/or depends on any program properties
You may need to pre-allocate actual or SYSOUT data sets (dynamically or in your own JCL) according to the DD definitions in the ACFBATCH JCL
A SLIP trap might be useful to determine how owner of ACFBATCH calls it.

Good luckKeven
