I'm mystified: I had thought that when a member name is specified
the file is sequential; that's what gets merged into the DCB by
OPEN if not specified in the DCB macro, and the OP was at worst
reasserting a default.

At best, it's inconsistent:

      3.7.4.1 "z/OS V1R10 DFSMS Using Data Sets"
     ___________________________________________________________
  3.7.4.1 Creating a PDS Member with BSAM or QSAM

        OUTDCB   DCB   ---,DSORG=PS,DDNAME=PDSDD,MACRF=PM

Reasonably, one ought to be able to specify the the same DSORG
in either JCL or the DCB macro.
