Are you saying that most z/OS COBOL programmers are aware of what SVC and PC

I'm sorry to sound "ignorant", but none of the COBOL or z/OS applications
development training I've received has any reference to these things. I assumed they
were things that only systems programmers knew about/cared about; though I am interested
to learn about them.
I'm afraid John's explanation went way over my head, though. The manuals, at
least the information I could find, appeared to assume a large amount of z/OS
system programmer background, which I do not possess.

Frank,
I'd be willing to come out and give an informal presentation
about SVC handling. Not real deep, but the basic concepts
and how common SVCs are used to support application programs
under the covers. I've never had an occasion to work with
PC routines, but I'm reasonably aware of how SVC routines
work.
_Real_ informal. No slides nor handouts. Just a white board
and a discussion with questions and answers.
