I think you'd be disappointed in FAMS, I still don't think it would help. We all wonder why it's a secret, because there ain't that much to it. IEBCOPY and the LISTDSI command pretty much expose all there is.
After looking at your old program, I'd give it at least 50-50 odds for working with PDSEs. I think your worst case would be to abandon QSAM fiddling and just provide GET/PUT functions. You could probably make that much more seamless in REXX than in PL/I. sas On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 10:40 PM Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> wrote: > My STOWBLDL routine at http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3/source/STOWBLDL.ASM > has code to quiesce a QSAM DCB before going to a new member and reprime > buffering afterward; this requires dealing with fields in the SAM-E IOB > extension and the SAM-E Interrupt Control Block.
