Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Address of Identifiers in Set - Usage is Pointer

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

Currently the Address of Identifiers in the Set - Usage is Pointer command the identifier must occur in the Linkage Section. In z/OS, the item can occur in either the Working Storage Section or the Linkage Section. The lack of this ability creates a major hurdle that must be overcome when using GETADDRINFO for IPv6 DNS lookup as GETADDRINFO requires the use of pointers. This also makes the command consistent between the two operating systems.
