The BDW and RDW are always included in the buffer. They may not be seen at the application level (e.g., on a ForTran read or write, or in CoBOL).
I have no time for that. If something is true it can remember itself; if it is false it is not worth remembering. Hence I remember what I am dealing with and forget it afterwards. Do you expect me to *remember* system control blocks?
But as is obvious from this thread, you are making assertions based on (mis)information where you should have refreshed your memory. I still don't know what you meant by "CCW EXCPs", for example.
'DCB' is shorter than the 'RECFM=,LRECL=,BLKSIZE=' I am actually referring to when I say 'DCB'; so I say 'DCB' for short.
'Data format' is also shorter than those, and a lot less ambiguous.
