What has to be done to force program to execute above 16 Meg line?

  1. Link option is AMODE=24 and RMODE=ANY. Compile option should have SIZE(MAX).

  2. Link option is AMODE=31 and RMODE=31. Compile option should not have SIZE(MAX).

  3. Link option is AMODE=24 and RMODE=24. Compile option should not have SIZE(MAX).

  4. Link option is AMODE=31 and RMODE=ANY. Compile option should not have SIZE(MAX).

D Correct answer
Explanation

To execute programs above the 16 MB line in mainframe systems, you need AMODE=31 (31-bit addressing mode) with RMODE=ANY (allow any residency mode), and avoid SIZE(MAX) compile option. Option A is wrong because AMODE=24 limits to below the line. Option B incorrectly specifies RMODE=31 instead of ANY. Option C is wrong because AMODE=24 is for below-line programs.
