My question is, why does it work when the file is VSAM, even without the

Question: are you running your tests under VSE or z/OS?
I tested sequential on both, but only tested VSAM on VSE. I guess I just
assumed that VSAM would behave the same on z/OS.

I would guess not. My notes from "VSAM for COBOL Programmers" say
ESDS supports update in place but no change in record length.
But I guess the only real proof is in the doing.
