I'm unfamiliar with the terms, but it's pretty clear from the
context what it must be about.

Does DFSMS have a new facility for "dependent writes" that
somehow chains the writes together?  Is it as simple as doing
all the writes in a single channel program with a guarantee
that the perceived updates of the backing store are congruent
with the order of the I/O requests?
