Comments

Retrieves a record from a VSAM or QSAM file.

If the VSECOMP compiler directive is specified, Enterprise Developer Assembler support includes emulating the DOS/VSE version of this macro. In this case the expanded code is larger than that produced on the mainframe and may cause NO BASE REGISTER error messages. The unusual DOS/VSE register conventions for register 1 and 0 are also supported, so syntax of the form GET (1) or GET (1)(0) is accepted.

A utility macro SADV (Save Address Value) used by GET expands slightly differently when VSECOMP is specified. Normally, SADV expands to LA register,dcb-address. With VSECOMP specified the instruction L register,=A(dtf-address) is produced instead.
