Martin, A couple of reasons spring to mind :
(1) Short path length to perform instructions to access data in CADS (load the ALET into ARx, init Rx, SAC 512). If you are in a system exit and your purpose is to intercept and store certain information, you need to do this as quickly as possible and then get outta there. (2) Support for earlier os levels?
