All disks larger than model-9 until model-58 (the max before EAV) are just

The only thing SMS really does is to assign a DC, SC, MC and SG to a tape in

I wonder what the purpose of this is.
It branches to R14, usually the return address, unless you loaded the

For some exits, it is clear by definition:
SMF exits are taken as specified in SMFPRMxx, IEFUSO and IEFUJP as specified in
