ID argument is dynamically read by the channel program before the
search ID CCW is executed, then the real search ID uses. the

dynamically. To avoid this problem, the record field of a search

Timing Dependencies
Timing dependencies in input/output devices or programming do not
function consistently under VM/370: 1. The following telecommunication access methods (or the designated
option) violate the restriction on timing dependency by using
program-controlled interrupt techniques and/or the restriction on
dynamically modified channel programs: as Basic Telecommunications Access Method (BTAM) with the
dynamic buffering option. as Queued Telecommunications Access Method (QTAM). DOS Queued Telecommunications Access Method (QT!M). as Telecommunications Access Method (TCAM). OS/VS Telecommunications Access Method (TCAM) earlier, and Level 5 if TCAM is not generated or
the VM/370 option.

These access methods may run in a virtual=real machine with CCW translation suppressed by the SET NOTRANS ON command. Even if SET NOTRANS ON is issued, CCW translation will take place if one of the
following conditions is in effect: The channel program is directed at a nondedicated device (such
as a spooled unit record device, a virtual CTC!, a minidisk, or
a console). The channel program starts with a SENSE operation code. The channel program is for a dialed terminal invoked by the DIAL
command. START I/O tracing is in effect. The CAW is in page zero or beyond the end of the virtual=real
area.
