Also a long time ago, when IBM used to distribute their source code, one could find working code that used STARTIO in the JES3 and IMS source, I believe. It was never intended to be externally documented. I found a simple sample program in a publicly available Amdahl document in 1985, keyboarded it, got it to work, and immediately began enhancing and using it everywhere as a generic low-level DASD I/O subroutine. And I still have all 17 volumes of the 1983 MVS/XA logic library, in which EXCP, IOS, and many other way cool things are documented.

STARTIO was documented only in the logic manuals, back when there were such things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
