No, nor likely will there be. The books document what z/OS supports your doing. They do not tend to document what is not supported. This should not be new news to anyone. This applies to almost everything relating to an interface, including (but not limited to) AMODE 64, data above the bar, ASC mode, ARs, high halves of GRs. You could certainly argue that all services should be perfectly clear on all of these things. They should be. And if it cost nothing to make that happen, they would be. But doing so would incur a significant cost that has not been felt to be justified. Maybe if all the IBM-Main folks put together a "go fund me" page they could fund such an effort <kidding, of course> Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
