[comp.lang.asm370] #brpl vs open/dcb

SXRJC@ALASKA.BITNET (ROBERT J CONCANNON) (03/16/90)

i have run across some vendor source in which sysin dd * files are accessed
via a #brpl: #brpl type=generate,rpladdr=(r2),file='sysin'...
i have been accustomed to reading such files with standard open & dcb.
what are the pros and cons of the two strategies? (mvs/xa)
thanks, bob concannon,university of alaska
