Note that in <[email protected]> I wrote
"SC26-7410-09, the 1.11 version of DFSMS Using Data Sets, still gives
the minimum length of an SDW as 5. However, it does not explicitly say
whether the RDW or SDW limit applies when the segment control field is
00." and that nobody answered the question. Have you verified that for
VBS an SDW with a zero segment control field is treated as an RDW, and
thus allowed to specify a zero length?
