Not-deferred is the default when writing to a VSAM KSDS, so if you are getting deferred writes it is because something is overriding the default. Did you specify MACRF=DFR on your ACB? Did System Managed Buffering (SMB) get invoked?

I'd like to use it as a pseudo log file. The cluster has to have alternate indexes. As far as I know, fflush() does not work with VSAM.
