I know that you don't like CSI, but IMHO that's the best way to go. Postprocessing the LISTC output is easy, but will break if IBM changes the format. In the long run, have you considered asking IBM for a CI enhancement to allow both generation and member in DSN, or to allow relative

Well, the hardware does move a 256 byte area aligned on a 256 bytes boundary very efficiently. And would allow you to load the register with an address without storing the last byte. So a storage pool with allocation of multiples of 256 bytes would greatly helped. On Thu, Jul 25, 2019 at 10:53
