Bill,
You are right, that's deadly relevant. Thank you for finding that (we
opened an ETR with the COBOL folks, thinking we'd found a bug, but they
didn't quote that passage back to us...)
We were under the impression, however, that specifying any AMP= parm in the
JCL would override system managed buffering. (In this case, the DD had
AMP=('BUFNI=50,BUFND=10').) Have we misunderstood?

HOWEVER, (after finding all of that), I found what I think is MOST relevant
in the latest Enterprise COBOL V3R4 manual (with revision bars indicating it
is new). From:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3pg30/1.10.3.2
.1
" When you are loading an extended-format VSAM data set, file status 30 will
occur on the OPEN if DFSMS system-managed buffering sets the buffering to
local shared resources (LSR). To successfully load the VSAM data set in this
case, specify ACCBIAS=USER in the DD AMP parameter for the VSAM data set to
bypass system-managed buffering."
