Jim:
Thanks for the update. Yes, I was referring to the old quickcell
functions that I wrote for the first release of MVS. And on thinking it
over, there would have been no mapping macro for the cell, as the
unpredictable size would (chosen by the pool creator) would not motivate
one. There would only be a requirement to set a location and length for
the link field in free elements.

Thanks for letting me know that my memory still works. I hadn't found
the mapping macro for the quickcell element yet and was going on
memories dating back to what I coded in 1973. Thank you very much for
the corroboration.
An old system programmer...
CPOOL was a new service in MVS/XA. By "quickcell", you
may be referring to the services provided by the CETCELL/FREECELL
macros (modules IEAVGTCL/IEAVFRCL), and BLDCPOOL and DELCPOOL
macros. These macros and code are still in the system,
although no longer documented.
SYS1.MODGEN(IHACPAB) is the mapping for the pool anchor.
There was no mapping macro for the pool element - the
link field offset of 0 is coded as an EQU in each module
that needs it.
