-------------------------------------------<snip>-----------------------------------
Any program using BDAM with calculated relative or absolute disk
addresses can run afoul of device limitations; that's mainly why
these types of things are discouraged. If you really think you need
BDAM with calculated addresses, consider the use of VSAM RRDS
instead. Fewer device dependancies and a far brighter future. :-)
Brighter future?! BDAM is supported for 1TB EAV and getting a
'facelift' with zHPF channel programs. Where's the 'darkness' in that?
As long as your addresses are relative and not absolute, you are AOK!

ISTR reading somewhere that DBAM was now Class-C. Perhaps the old memory
banks got scrambled somewhere. :-(
