Could someone please send me some example code showing how to call
an assembly language routine from SAS C 5.10 with values being
passed to the routine in specific registers?  Haven't been able to
figure it out from the manual except that apparently I've got to
use __asm and the register keyword in my function declaration and
compile using the -rr option.   Currently I'm trying something
like this:  
      extern void __asm myasmfunc(register __a2 char *pointer1);
and keep getting: error 67: illegal object  ^
	                                    |

Probably something dumb that I'm doing (or not doing) but its
6 am and I haven't slept yet.....  Any help will be GREATLY
appreciated.  Thanks.
