George, No tricks that I recall. If you know the vendor dataset to be VB, either code DATACLAS=SRCVLIB in their allocation JCL or add the vendor's dataset to a filter list. Personally, I'd probably modify the JCL to add the DATACLAS=SRCVLIB. This, of course, presumes that you allow explicit DATACLAS assignment, which I hope you do.

I'm curious if there is a way to determine the RECFM value within the ACS routine??? We hava a Data Class called SRCVLIB for PDS's with RECFM=VB. The problem arises with our vendor products which don't use our naming conventions. I would like to determine RECFM in the ACS routine but it doesn't appear to be a read-only variable available to me in the routine. I'm wondering if there is some trick I don't know that would allow me to access this value within the routine. This would allow me to assign the correct data class to these files (VB or FB). How does everyone else handle these situations? Thanks for your help.
