Might have to switch from RDJFCB to SVC 99...

This works well for me. The only problem that I've run into is when I
edit with "vi" (yes, I get what I deserve). ISPF edit "knows" that if
I replace "ABCD" with "EF", it should only move the non-blank
characters immediately to the right of the "ABCD" left. vi doesn't do
this. This is really disruptive of continuation characters in column
72. So, looked at FLOWASM. Wonderfully, one thing it allows is
continuation of a statement without the continuation character in
column 72! So I thought it would be wonder to use and remove all the
characters from column 72. Unfortunately, FLOWASM uses RDJFCB on the
DCB which describe the input dataset. This RDJFCB gets an RC of 4 when
the input is a UNIX file.<sigh>. It appears that the RDJFCB is really
only used to pass back the DSN and volume of the input dataset to the
assembler.
I'm wondering if I have an old version and a newer version supports
input from a UNIX file. Did I mention that I keep my macros in UNIX as
well? Yes, I'm weird.
I will take a look at this...
