Some problems solved by looking at the V1R12.0 PDF online. LINKAGE=SYSTEM is
documented, but BRANCH=SVC is still there, and no discussion of LINKAGE for
STORAGE RELEASE.

Subject: Where doc for STORAGE LINKAGE=SYSTEM?

I'm looking at page 119 of z/OS V1R10.0 MVS Assembler Services SET-WTO, the
STORAGE macro. There is a very brief mention of LINKAGE=SYSTEM. However, at
the beginning of the chapter, where it discusses register usage, there is
only a description of LINKAGE=SVC and LINKAGE=BRANCH. What am I not seeing?

FWIW, the whole beginning of the chapter seems a little garbled. There are
introductory sections called Input and Output Register Information that
appear to be correct only for LINKAGE=SVC, and under "Input Register
Information for LINKAGE=SVC" there is a reference to something called
BRANCH=SVC (which is contradictory and not supported by the macro).

Further, there is no documentation for LINKAGE= with STORAGE RELEASE. Is it
not supported or is the documentation wrong?
