The HSM manuals do not clearly state that the objective of HSM is to
re-create the dataset as it was previously created. For example, with the
right options a HSM recall can convert a SMS-managed data set to
non-SMS-managed and vice versa (with some restrictions, of course). I agree
that some changes like making the LRECL smaller or converting from/to EBCDIC
to/from ASCII would destory data. However, HSM could be designed to perform
useful minor format changes during a recall. I would love it, if HSM had
recall options to change the primary and secondary allocation quanities,
non-EA to EA, change blksize or cisize, etc.

HSM role is to re-create the dataset as it was previously created. It is not
the moment to change "physical shape" of the dataset like LRECL.
Is EA "physical" like RECFM or RECSZ or CISZ or rather "potential" like DVC
or Secondary allocation? That's the question. I bet it is physical, I'm sure
Extended FOrmat is physical (it does affect allocation).

Dataclass change could affect (change) parameters of newly-created datasets,
for example change LRECL (RECSZ for VSAM). Such change cannot be performed
for existing datasets, including scenario when a dataset is restored. THat
would destroy data.
