(Avoiding assembler at all costs)
In Rexx, I can open a file with such as:
address MVS 'EXECIO 0 DISKR SYSUT1 (open'
Somewhere in the world this should leave a DCB. Can I find it
(chasing pointers or otherwise) so I can inspect it with STORAGE()?
(This might be thwarted because an opened DCB does not contain
the DDNAME which could be used as an eyecatcher.)
My fallback is a minimal assembler program to obtain storage for a
DCB (must it be below the line? How can I make that happen?)
OPEN, and return the address to Rexx.
Thanks,
gil
