It also says:
3. If the BLKSIZE value is omitted or invalid, SMP/E uses a default of 3200.
So I would assume that it is looking at the blocksize prior to open time
to verify that it is a valid size. Since 0 is sort of not really valid,
it should default to 3200.
But you would have to figure after over a decade of SDB that somebody
could have easily added a check for 0 and use that. Could be that the
SMP/E developers don't beleive that SDB will generate a valid block size
for FB/80?

Notes:
2. Do not specify BLKSIZE=0. SMP/E does not support system-determined
block size (SDB) for this data set.
Why? Would it be any better if the programmer specified explicitly
the same value that SDB would happen to choose?
