Hi, Today, I was trying to have a DSORG=PS DASD dataset (output from ADRDSSU DUMP) with Extended Format, it failed with IEC143I 213-B8, where B8 means "An OPEN was attempted against an extended-format data set with a DCB that specified EXCP. EXCP is not supported for extended-format data sets" according to manul.
Finally, I specified DSNTYPE=LARGE instead to overcome the 65535 tracks per volume limit. However, I don't know that output file (DSORG=PS) from ADRDSSU is using EXCP access method and how do I know if a DASD dataset was proccessed by EXCP instead of QSAM access method?? Is that the DCB=(DSORG=PS,LRECL=0,RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=27998) means the dataset was processed by EXCP access method?? Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks....
