Peter,

Wow! Do you know you much extra work this documentation error has caused? EOM 
routines had to be written to clean up this common storage in case the 
initiator was terminated without EOT routines being run, etc.

If this is true for certain (and I'm sure it is or you wouldn't have so 
stated), was it a requirement at some time in the past, or, to your knowledge, 
has it never been a requirement?

Also, how could such a doc error come to be? It's different than every other 
parameter, so it looks intentional???

I believe the documentation is incorrect.

As with many SDUMP(X) parameters, if the area you specify is "too long"
then it must be in common storage and otherwise does not need to be. It
appears that this is true also for DSPLIST for which "too long" is "more
than 512 bytes".
