Me, too.  ("even"?  In what language would you consider simplicity *less*
surprising than in Rexx or COBOL?)

Some slight caution:  Some TUs available with SVC 99 and even some
keywords available with ALLOCATE are not supported.

OTOH, INFO, RTDSN, RTVOL, and RTDDN are invaluable.  I don't know
that these are supported outside of Rexx.
