Greetings,

I noticed this in the z/OS 1.10 Migration manual.

>From the doc side, at least for OBTAIN CAMLST, it has said that a 140 byte 
return area has been needed going back at least to the OS/390 2.10 manuals.

That being said, has anyone encountered any issues releated to this on z/OS 
1.10?

Cheers...

Michael

==================================

DFSMSdfp: Provide a 140-byte work area when using OBTAIN Description: 
Programs must pass the address of a 140-byte return area when they search 
for a data set name using the OBTAIN macro with the CAMLST SEARCH option 
or the OBTAIN SVC 27 with the SEARCH for DSNAME operation code. In 
releases prior to z/OS V1R10, the system returned data in only the first 101 
bytes of the return area. Beginning with z/OS V1R10, the system will return 
data in the first 103 bytes. Therefore, you should upgrade your programs to 
provide the entire 140-byte return area; otherwise, you might encounter 
storage overlay problems or program interruptions.

Element or feature:
DFSMSdfp.
When change was introduced:
z/OS V1R10.
Applies to migration from:
z/OS V1R9 and z/OS V1R8.
Timing:
Before the first IPL of z/OS V1R10.
Is the migration action required?
Yes, if you have programs that do not specify at least a 103-byte DSCB 
return area.
Target system hardware requirements:
None.
Target system software requirements:
None.
