John - Actually the DCSTDFLT dataclas assigned in the code stub shown in my 1st email is exactly that - a barebones dataclass. But in this case, I wanted to assign a dataclass with the extended format & compaction attributes. I have several of these to chose from & wanted to assign DCEXTEND based on a DSORG=PS. This is where I ran into my little issue. As someone else pointed out earlier, I think the solution will be to require the applications to add the DSORG parm to their JCL.
thanks - ddk >>Darth, >>You could create a new barebones dataclass and assign it to any dataset >>with a null DSORG.
