I've done it, but I haven't had any reason to in the last couple
decades, nor do I expect to.

Nor have I. My use of DAIR also ended when DYNALLOC showed up and I've
scrupulously avoided it every bit as much as I've avoided SVC 32 usage.
I once had to write a stand-alone program that would simulate OS/360
DASD allocation; I used the I/O routines lifted from CLIP/360
(Stand-alone) and was able to IPL a OS/360 system weekly to check
results. Took 12 weeks to learn all the wrinkles, including how to
maintain the FORMAT-5 DSCB chain, but it was a great learning
experience. Did it for NCSS and I'd sure like to get the programs I used
and/or modified for their CP67/CMS system. Much learning there, most of
which is now forgotten.
