Hi Binyamin!

 That would work.. the program could avoid even trying the OPEN.

 In this case, the OPEN succeeds... and then the subsequent READ (BSAM)
 gets some bytes, but they aren't valid...

 I tried looking at DCBDSORG after the OPEN, but it has the value
 DCBDSGPS (Physical Sequential), since PS was specified at OPEN time.

        - Thanks! -

It is not clear what your question is.

Are you asking if there is a way to determine if a DD statement is pointing to
a PDS without a member name specified?
