I thought one of the reasons why IBM came up with AVGREC and the

doing it the old way and do not want to change.
Me too - but isn't that why they went to FBA years before? I
remember when we were supposed to translate our sort work
recommendations from Count-Key to FBA because it didn't work.
AFAIK FBA devices only worked on VSE and VM so it never got to being
supported on MVS (or VS1 for that matter).
