Thanks for the info. I have heard of "scatter load", but only in context with the NUCLEUS. Interesting that RMODE(SPLIT) is, at least conceptually, similar. I use RMODE(SPLIT) all the time to put my I/O CSECTs into RMODE(24) storage, while leaving the other CSECTs in RMODE(31) storage.
Now if I could just eliminate DCBs entirely.
