Yes. I am. ISPF (long before SMS) always did that to ensure the DCB was set. You had to enter all the attributes, or it would not allocate.
I've written (and supported) many ISPF (or SPF) applications over the last 30 years. I don't remember where it's documented, but I remember the behaviour. - Ted MacNEIL [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Ron Hawkins <[email protected]> Sender: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 06:46:56 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: DATACLASS Ted, Are you certain this is correct? I thought was simply because ISPF 3.2 provided enough additional DCB information for the DSORG to be assigned. Ascertaining the DSORG of a dataset is a fundamental requirement of SDB, and SDB works just fine with IEFBR14 when enough DCB info is provided. > ISPF opens and closes files that are created by it, thereby giving a full dcb. > IEFBR14 does not. > Ron ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
