I figured someone would mention pre-LOAD vs. BLDL :) In my case the
efficiency didn't really matter. It was a one-time load as the STC
initialized things soon after IPL. Most likely I looked at LOAD vs.
BLDL where I had to code a build list and said "why bother when I can
LOAD to get the length with less coding". I'm pretty lazy.
P.S. Having IBMers like you and Jim here correcting us and giving their
opinions and help is quite amazing. Thanks for that. I remember many
years ago when IBM folks were probably told not to respond here other
than to tell people to open a PMR. This is so much better.

Regardless, if you are doing a LOAD with ADDR you don't typically do a
LOAD to get the length to obtain (or a CSVQUERY after a LOAD). That is
very inefficient. You use the information in the directory entry returned
by BLDL or DESERV.
