Perhaps IBM as a whole but ICSF has documented our interfaces in the same way for at least 20 years. > there is no requirement ... to re-bind with new stubs upon > every z/OS release. Correct. ICSF's stubs (and LE interfaces) are forward compatible, so once you BIND (or link), you don't need to do it again, in general. > I find the whole "bind it with a stub" scheme causes all > kinds of packaging issues For non-LE, I agree with you. > and IMHO IBM should just document > all the calls (as UNIX and RACF do) and perhaps even provide > their own CSRCALL-type macro. As much as I think it's a good idea, it's not very high on our list because there's not been much demand and, as far I know, there has never been a formal requirement for this.
