Specifying a dummy address for DCBE= (like DCBE=*-*) on the DCB macro is probably the best route but you can also not specify it and set the flags yourself using the equates from the DCB mapping macro: LA R15,SYSPRINT_DCBE MVC 0(C_DCBEL,R15),C_DCBE Initialize DCBE ST R15,DCBDCBE-IHADCB(R3) Save DCBE ptr in DCB OI DCBBFALN-IHADCB(R3),DCBH1+DCBH0 Indicate DCBE is there ...
