I'd say not:

  EDIT first.DSN -
         second.dsn

Is two records. It's clearly on statement.

BTW, does the CLIST documentation also say statement when they mean
record? That could get even more confusing, since some CLIST
statements are not commands.

As for dconcatenation, I'd suggest testing a concatenation of DASD and
SYSIN data sets, e.g.,

 //SYSTSIN  DD  DSN=SOME.INPUT,DISP=SHR
 //         DD  *
 more input
 //         DD  DSN=YET.MORE.INPUT,DISP=SHR

If there is a problem, that is more likely to hit it than
concatenating like data sets.
