[comp.lang.asm370] Using PARSECMD and friends.

CCECKS@NUSVM.BITNET (Chua KS) (11/09/90)

I am trying to use the PARSECMD macro and friends in my assembly
language program to parse the command line arguments.

My program is compiling fine and so is my DLCS file.  The hitch I am
facing is trying to execute the 'SET LANGUAGE ( ADD DMS USER'.
When ever i do it, I encounter the  'Protection exception error'
and get drop to CP READ.  'SET LANGUAGE ( ADD DMS SYSTEM' executes
without any exception error, but that is not really what I am after.
Anybody in the know in netland??

My first mail bounced, so I am trying again.

I'm not real clever at using DLCS's, but my experience has been, if you
want to declare a new application id, you should not make it the same as
one already existent, unless you actually modify the original.  I would
not modify the orginal, since it is relatively easy to cull want you
want from DMS and place it in your own, say, LCL.  Then you can make it
a user repository.
