Hi All,
Are there array maximums in assembler?
I know in PL/I the max for arrays are 32767. Is this the same for assembler, or is there some other number?
Thanks in advance |

there is no concept of array in assembler 
all You have is...
a storage area ( static or getmained )
an algorithm to address a byte inside this storage area- more or less optimized
so I would say that the maximum size is that of the largest getmain |

I personally have seen arrays with more than 32767. Infact we have a program in our system that supports 95000 array elements. How do u say max for array is 32767 in PL/1 |
