2020-08-07 Thread David Cole
I was researching the disappearance of an STCB field (STCBDUCR) in z/OS R2.4 maclibs when I noticed a discrepancy that has me puzzled: 1) Up until zOS R2.3, the STCBDUCR field used to contain the 31-bit REAL address of the Dispatchable Unit Control Table (DUCT). 2) But in the z/OS R2.4
