>So far, it seems the only way to do that is to get the JFCB, etc... My first inclination was to answer the same way, since I did that many decades ago. But that approach may not work now for due to the presence of many newer components with which I have little (SMS) or no (HFS) experience. >But - Gil seemed to think that wasn't the best approach. Could be. My experience was during the Jurassic era. >DYNALLOC looks like another possible answer, but how expensive >is that? The expense is not in executing the DYNALLOC function. The great expense is in finding the IBM doc, then coding and debugging the convoluted data structure which you have to feed to DYNALLOC. I did that once long ago, and it was not easy. Basically you must first choose the exact JCL parameters you would need in a batch job to use the file, then you convert those same JCL parameters to their DYNALLOC equivalent. I would try very hard to use RDJFCB instead.
