Dave's personal Reference Summary

I doubt that anyone would find this extremely interesting but here is my MVS cheet sheet, my personal reference summary. When I obtained some obscure knowledge or got tired of looking into a manual for the same things over and over, I collected them to one spot. Some of the items below are years old. Use this information at your own risk.
