I think QSAM >automatically allocates the BUFCB wherever it chooses (presumably it >chooses RMODE 24) and the buffers wherever you tell it to allocate them >(RMODE ANY in my case). Am I confused? Normal usage is to let QSAM OPEN allocate the bugger pool, in which case there is nothing to relocate. If you specify BUFCB in a model DCB then it is your responsibility to relocate DCBBUFCB. There's also the issue of what you specify in your DCBE.
