There may be DCB in PL/X. The DCB has many fields to be filled in. Does PL/X
require you simply fill in the fields or does it allow abstraction where the
programmer specifies a few parameters and the appropriate fields are filled in
to fulfill the requirements the programmer specified.
How would a mere mortal know any of that?
One would be by reading a manual or two of the MVS world.
Please provide a link to a PL/X reference manual that I, a mere
mortal may read.

My apologies, I read the question relative to MVS I/O, not PL/X
which is NOT available outside of IBM (as I was given to
understand as a contractor working on AI Languages in the early
1990s).
I was only allowed to read the output from PL/?, not the source,
except for when reading macros where the PL/? source is embedded
in the macro.
I am just another person who would be very interested in a PL/?
compiler for ISVs and other customers of IBM.
