Thanks. Well, I had looked under "Syntax Notes", figuring that's where any
exceptional behavior would be described. I guess it's not sufficiently
exceptional.
With your encouragement, I did find it. Elsewhere.

But doesn't meet my objectives. I'm trying two commands:
RECEIVE SELECT( ... ) FROMNTS( ... ) .
RECEIVE HOLDDATA FROMNTS( ... ) .
Interesting. SYSPRINT seems to show that it unpacks the HOLDDATA
twice (once for each command?), although only the second uses it.
But it unpacks SMPMCS only once.
And if it's RECEIVE FROMNETWORK and my CLIENT and SERVER data sets
are instream, will one of each suffice? Will SMP/E read each only
once and use it for both commands, or try to read it twice? A guru
told me long ago (MVS 3.8 era) that a SYSIN can be read only once,
and never repositioned (pretend it's a card reader). But empirically
I believe I can contradict that.
Thanks again,
