Do you have BLOCKTOKENSIZE=LARGE on the DCBE? Do you issue a CHECK before the NOTE?
If you want, take this offline to my Radus e-mail address. Unfortunately to to IBM's OCO (יש"ו) policy, the logic manuals are not longer available; I'd stay away from using fields like DCBFDAD. TRKCALC doesn't really help. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
