The syntax of the DD-statement DSNTYPE = JCL parameter, viz.,
DSNTYPE= {LIBRARY}
{HFS }
{PDS }
{PIPE }
{EXTREQ }
{EXTPREF}
{LARGE }
{BASIC }
is such that DSNTYPE=LARGE and DSNTYPE=EXTREQ, EXTENDED requested or
DSNTYPE=EXTPREF, EXTENDED preferred, are mutually exclusive. Round 7 (or is it
8?) goes to Mr. Jaffe.
The name 'DSNTYPE' in any case problematic.
One of my students, a Finn whose English is excellent but not native, guessed
(I thought plausibly by extension from DSN=) that DSNTYPE=LARGE meant that an
elementary dataset name more than eight characters in length was enabled.
