Mark,
I didn't say that IDCAMS can be used for zFS when in use, did I ?
The same apply to DB2 files. Bothe can be copied using IDCAMS, but not
when used by application. However both cannot be processed on record
level due to... lack of records. <g>

Yeah.... that must be an error in the RedBook. I just checked and there
is an updated (02) version called z/OS Distributed File Service zSeries
File System z/OS V1R7 Implementation, but it says the same thing:
"You can back up zFS file systems by doing the following:
A zFS aggregate can be backed up and restored using IDCAMS REPRO.
The aggregate must be quiesced before the backup.
A zFS aggregate can be backed up and restored using DFSMSdss.
The aggregate must be quiesced before the backup."
Even if REPRO worked, you would have to unmount the zFS, not just
quiesce it since OMVS owns the data set and has an exclusive ENQ.

You cannot work at record level with neither DB2 (table/index space)
datasets, not zFS. Reason: those datasets are LINEAR. LDS does not
contain records.
However using IDCAMS against DB2 LDSes is pefrectly safe AFAIK.
