Why does VSE get VSAMIO but MVS doesn't?
I could understand if REXX in VM was more advanced, but VSE??

Thank you all for your help over the many message threads I have
started since joining this list.
The external assembler REXX function I am working on is so that I
don't have to depend upon the built-in REXX VSAMIO function. I don't like
all the conversion, concatenation, and parsing I have to do to make VSAMIO
work. I miss record layouts. My plan is to have my function provide all
of the key and record building and extracting from and into REXX stem
variables based on key and record layouts provided by the caller in the
same stem variable.
