(Pressed Send too soon) So, yes, CMS supports it. But since TTRZ is RRRZ on CMS, you don't need the OS's help to calculate what to give to NOTE. In my tests, I thought I would be able to NOTE POINT +1 NOTE POINT +1 to skip a record, but it didn't work. NOTE really does return the RRRZ of the last record BSAM read from the file, ignoring any value you provided via POINT. Is that the same on MVS?
