Please see IBM documentation : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ratdevz/v7r5/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ent.pl1.zos.doc/topics/ibmc2mst09.htm "An argument passed BYADDR to an entry does not match the corresponding parameter in the entry description. The address of the argument will not be passed to the entry. Instead, the argument will be assigned to a temporary with attributes that do match the parameter in the entry description, and the address of that temporary will be passed to the entry. This means that if the entry alters the value of this parameter, the alteration will not be visible in the calling routine." |
