Oh, I missed your reply since I used the full subject search... Now, I've used Strobe to perform some testings and it matches what you've said: 1. ADRDSSU DUMP uses EXCP so I can only use DSNTYPE=LARGE 2. ICEGENER (DFSORT) uses (auto detects) EXCP for non-EF datasets and BSAM for EF datasets 3. IDCAMS uses QSAM for either EF or non-EF datasets 4. COBOL uses QSAM for either EF or non-EF datasets
Well, it is clear that my concept was wrong: "DSORG=PS uses QSAM access method only" Paul On Wed, 11 Jun 2008 23:04:25 -0700, Ron Hawkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Paul, > >Did you my earlier response?
