Bob's the expert (or is it, Bob's your uncle?), but I couldn't follow
what he was talking about. Like he said, there's lots of ways to do
the same thing in IPCS. To answer your original question (is there a
simple example of a user CBFORMAT), here's the relevant parts of a
SHARE presentation I gave a few years ago.
Don, thanks for highlighting models, the simplest way to add control block
formatting support to IPCS. Your response to the question "How do I get
started" beats mine by a mile. One of the nice things about models is that
they can be referenced by the name of the entry point of your load module,
so there is no need to update IPCS parmlib members before using them.

I want to thank everyone who shared information with us on the list.
The information was very helpful in getting my first user defined CBF
working.
I'll be refering to all the examples as I build more of these user
defined formatters. I have many more to do over time. And thanks to
the people on this list, I've got a good running start on it.
My system did not allocate IPCSPARM for my IPCS sessions. It appeared
to get its various IPCS parm information from another DD.
I've updated the ISPLLIB concat to include my own IPCS load library.
And included an IPCSPARM that concatenates my own IPCS parmlib pds (with
a new BLSCUSER), as well as the SYS1.PARMLIB. Fortunately these are
all within my control to enhance without having to change any system
libraries directly.
It would have taken me much longer to get this all working without all
the help.
Thanks very much to everyone.
