If you absolutely hate the concatenated dataset, then try the DCB= where it
references a dataset or DDN. Even that may not work if the attribute can not be
specified in the JCL. It may even be an attribute outside the JCL DCB.
DCB is mutually exclusive with path. IBM answered my SR on SYSEXEC
saying the problem was with DSORG. DSORG is mutually exclusive with
PATH. I believe that some utilities fail because of device type.

It causes me to wonder, why DSORG causes a problem with a path or
a file. After all, unless you know something special about the
file, aren't all files DSORG=PS -- Physical Sequential in EXT,
EXT2, btrfs, hfs, zfs, etc.? Ok, in hfs and zfs they are
emulating an FBA device, but still...
That's just interesting to me.
