Notes

  1. Anchor addresses are not limited to being set by the GETMAIN command. For example, a COPYS2R can be used to copy a fullword address of a GETMAINed area to a REXX variable that is used as the anchor for a subsequent COPYS2R or COPYR2S.
  2. There can be multiple structure (field) definitions for a GETMAINed area; they can overlap, be nested, and used to redefine fields.
  3. Anchor addresses do not need to point to the beginning of a GETMAINed area. It is important, however, that anchor addresses are within a GETMAINed area that you own, and that any operation on them does not exceed their boundaries.
