So, yes, CMS supports it. But since TTRZ is RRRZ on CMS, you don't need the
OS's help to calculate what to give to NOTE.
In my tests, I thought I would be able to
NOTE
POINT +1
NOTE
POINT +1
to skip a record, but it didn't work. NOTE really does return the RRRZ of the
last record BSAM read from the file, ignoring any value you provided via POINT.
Is that the same on MVS?
