Convert Programs to Above the Line

Hi all,
I am currently working on a project to move all our PL/I and Assembler programs "above the line". I am doing this by changing the AMODE and RMODE values to 31 and ANY respectively, along with some creative coding for Assembler I/O modules. Whenever I view my load libraries, they all say AMODE=31 RMODE=ANY, but when I look at the entire composite (programs and sub-programs together) I get MIN/ANY. All the individual programs by themselves seems to be fine, but I cannot get any Driver above the line. My question is could this be caused by IBM assembler utilities (e.g. IBMSSIOA, CEEBPIRA .....). Thanks in advance

There are a lot of AMODE(24)/RMODE(24) modules in CEELKED, most looking like they're Cobol-related. See 2 members IGZ* and a lot ILB*. There's also BLDQS and CEE3SRT.

Any of these included in your composite linkedit would pull you down "below".

Garry.
