Re: SetLL *start

With regard to *START/*END the restriction to use the file name is silly. We don't have that restriction when using a key or RRN, so why do we have it with *START/*END?

Or, if we absolutely must use a file name, then WHY OH WHY can't it give us a clear error message that says "hey dummy, you need to use a file name with *START/*END" instead of the really confusing and unclear RNF5319?

synonymous with its record format name if there is only one format. At
least, it doesn't make sense to me to allow say using a format name on
an OPEN opcode.
