Yea. and the only supported thing that I can think of which requires ECKD is BPAM for PDS. Oh, and NIP for SYS1.NUCLEUS mainly I believe. IMO, NIP should likely be rearchitected. But that's just my ignorant opinion.
Well, I guess BDAM is also still supported. But I, personally, would use VSAM KSDS instead of "keyed" BDAM files. And an RRDS or VRRDS instead non-keyed BDAM files. Yes, I know that keyed BDAM can do things which keyed VSAM cannot. I cannot image why anybody would continue to use BDAM. If I really needed to do something totally off the wall, I'd do it in a LINEAR VSAM data set.
