3. If the BLKSIZE value is omitted or invalid, SMP/E uses a default of 3200.
I omitted that bullet deliberately. I believe IBM has been known to
accept APARs on other products that similarly thwarted the operation
of SDB. The Rexx interpreter comes to mind.
As a matter of fact, a recent SMP/E APAR (IO03920) did address the
default blocksize of 3200 and SDB for SMPWRKn (and SYSUT1) data sets.
Obviously the books have not been updated yet to reflect this change.
Also, and unfortunately, we're having a little trouble with this APAR
and have opened another, IO04540, to fix a BLKSIZE=0 issue for SMPWRK1
and SMPWRK2. We're working on a fix as I type this note.
