- JCL PARM
//SAMPPROG EXEC PGM=XXXXXXXX,PARM='XXXXXXXX......'
CONTAINS A PARM FIELD WITH UP TO 100 BYTES OF DATA IN IT.
THE PROGRAM BY DESIGN PICKUPS UP A POINTER TO THE DATA AND
THE DATA LEN. REG 1 HAS WHAT YOU NEED TO EXTRAPOLATE ALL OF
THIS.
- PASS DATA TO CALLED PROGRAM
IN THIS CASE, CALLER IS AN ALC PROGRAM PASSING 2 FIELDS TO
SUBROUTINE NAMED SUBROUT1. THE PASSED FIELDS WILL HAVE BEEN
PRIMED PRIOR TO THE "CALL"
CALL SUBROUT1(FIELDA,FIELDB)

What does "using" do?
In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
