GLOBAL

The GLOBAL macro allocates a global storage area that is addressable by all socket users in an address space. If more than one module is using sockets, you must supply the address of the global storage area to each user. Each program using the sockets interface should define global storage using the instruction EZASMI TYPE=GLOBAL with STORAGE=DSECT.

If this macro is not named, the default name EZASMGWA is assumed.

The following requirements apply to this call:
