Writing a application type program which must use a DCB? Why would I take the time and trouble to copy a DCB from my storage to GETMAIN'ed storage, perhaps doing some ADCON changes as well, for an application program. What do I gain? I increase complexity and time to write and debug. Now, for a TSO application, maybe it is worth it.
