Charles, Absolutely it is possible. DATACLAS *can* set RECFM. JCL *can* override it.
Go into ISMF and select Option 4 from the ISMF primary menu. Then select "1" to list the available data classes. Look at the values for DCTEMP. Or, talk to your storage admin, who must have set some of this up, including the automatic assignment of DCTEMP for all temporary datasets.

I confess to having avoided learning much about SMS; perhaps that needs to change. In the meantime, could I impose on someone for an answer to the following question? A dataset is allocated with JCL as follows (the complete DD statement is shown -- there are no other operands): XXSYSUT7 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(605,(4640,580)) SMS does the following: IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SYSUT7 ) DSN (SYS06167.T102753.RA000.jobname.R0227249 ) STORCLAS (SCTEMP) MGMTCLAS ( ) DATACLAS (DCTEMP) VOL SER NOS= TEMP01 Is it *possible* that something in DCTEMP or elsewhere in SMS could be having the effect of filling RECFM=U into the DCB before the open exit is driven -- in other words, having roughly the same effect as if RECFM=U had been coded in the DD statement?
