Was this because of endemic BCTR; EX MVC processing?  Of course,
writing with BSAM you can control the RDWs; they aren't checked.
So what happens if you use BSAM to create some records with
RDW count=4, then read them with QSAM?

o Detected error?  or

o Buffer overrun with possible premature program termination
  or escalation of privileges?

z/OS is better now.  Or was.
