QSAM is great if you don't want to mess with anything, but it has
the highest overhead.
Having looked at the channel programs for BSAM and QSAM, I doubt that.
If anything, the average use of BSAM is probably more expensive than
the average use of QSAM. YMMV.
------------------------------<unsnip>-------------------------------------
Grey area here. I would say that depends a great deal on the experience
and skill levels of the programmer. Not to mention the final intended
purpose. I've used QSAM to access individual members of a PDS, in name
sequence, but it's not a practice I'd recommend to the novice.
