At a higher level, the difference between EXCP and an Access Methods is that if 'you' do I/O with EXCP, 'you' build your own channel programs i.s.o. the Access Method, so 'you' must enhance your application to support extended format datasets, i.s.o. the Access Method. If you use an Access Method you can expect IBM to enhance the Access Method to support the new datasets.
