Re: Clear PASA (*CLRPASA)

[craigs@xxxxxxxxx]

Thank you Steve!  DSPPGM shows it when we page down to the end.  Yes, the
default used to be *CLRPASA for us but now it is *NOCLRPASA after
compilation due to an environment change.  My tests have proven this to be
a recent environment change specific to us.  I am working with IBM on this,
but fortunately I don't think this will affect anyone else.  I will
remember that workaround for the worst case scenario where IBM decides to
do nothing and we need to force it to *CLRPASA.

how do you display that information?  DSPPGM does not do it for me.

Craig,

do you mean create the program with *NOCLRPASA?  I assume the default
is *CLRPASA.

the only way I know to control which setting is used is to compile the
CL program with GENOPT(*LIST).
  CRTCLPGM PGM(QTEMP/TESTcl) SRCFILE(QclSRC) GENOPT(*LIST)

Read the MI/IRP code from the spooled file listing.  Take that IRP
code, load it into an 80 char wide array, then call the QPRCRTPG api
with the array of IRP code as one of the parms and the create options
*NOCLRPASA as another.  The result should be your CL program with the
*NOCLRPASA run time option.
