360	ring0_get_ declares Multics status code parameter incorrectly	Gary Dixon	Eric Swenson	"The ring0_get_ subroutine was written in 1976 before Multics status code arguments were upgraded from a fixed bin aligned integer to a fixed bin(35) aligned encoding of a packed pointer.  ring0_get_'s code parameter has never been upgraded from:
   dcl  code  fixed bin;
to:
   dcl  code  fixed bin(35);

Therefore, display_entrypoint_dcl (depd) and the emacs pl1dcl function return information about its entrypoint calling sequences ending with an incorrect code parameter declaration.

It would be nice if this program's code argument declaration was changed to correct this problem.

Meanwhile, programs declaring these entrypoints can manually change the declaration of the code argument to fixed bin(35).  Storage for both fixed bin aligned and fixed bin(35) aligned values is the same size.
