There have been some good discussions in the past which suggest that the
DFP access methods don't use STARTIO directly.
Sam, that sounds like semantics. Most of the non-VSAM access methods
(xSAM, BPAM, BDAM) issue EXCP SVCs, and EXCP invokes STARTIO. In that
sense they are indirect. VSAM uses Media Manager, which invokes
STARTIO, so that could also be considered indirect, I guess. Same for
PDSE and HFS.
