Oops. I misspoke. Actually, I should have been more clear about this. When you use NOCC or REMOVECC and let DFSORT/ICETOOL set the attributes automatically, it does set RECFM=FB. It will only use RECFM=FBA if the output data set already exists with that attribute. I suspect that was the case here, so RECFM=FB would be needed explicitly to override the existing RECFM of FBA. If the output data set did not have a RECFM attribute, then RECFM=FB would be set by default. Sorry for the confusion.
