This goes back to MFT (Probably) or was it PCP?
IEH utilities built its own DEB and other control blocks so that it
could access the DASD device (it didn't go through allocation),
back in those days there was no dynamic allocation (at least in MFT &
PCP) not sure about MVT as I never was exposed to it.
Gil,
I was in error (a little) I was exposed to MVT but for a very brief
time. The company I was working for at the time was in the process of
converting from MVT to VS2. I had forgotten about it as I got an all
to little exposure as the conversion was mostly what I worked on.
I did have to give a 5 minute "spiel" to two people in charge of the
Data Center to explain why we couldn't run TSO and production at the
same time. Unfortunately I think I talked over their heads. They
were still use to the 7090's. I did try so hard not to talk over them.
