The answer to (what I think is) the original question is DFP 2.3. Which
means it was included with DFP 3.1 (MVS/ESA) or MVS/XA 2.2.3 (which was
required to install DFP 3.1 under MVS/XA IIRC).
"CONCATENATION ENHANCEMENT: Like-attribute concatenation will be
allowed for eligible data sets with different block sizes in any
order; the largest no longer need be first. Eligible data sets are
partitioned or sequential data sets that are DASD-resident, accessed
by QSAM, and for which the system obtained buffer space.
This enhancement responded to SHARE requirement SOMVSE85065."
