<snip> Anyone ever notice that macro DCBD produces a DSECT named IHADCB, and that macro IHADCBE produces a DSECT named DCBE? Go figure. </snip>
Did you "figure" that you might be doing something wrong that led you to think that that is strange? You should probably be using IHADCB which internally invokes DCBD. Then we have "macro IHADCB produces a DSECT named IHADCB". Then you can choose to think about why some produce a DSECT without the component prefix and some with, as Charles observed.
