In this instance the IDCAMS command represents a NETVIEW command:

        CMDDEF.IDCAMS.MOD=DSIDCAMS 
        CMDDEF.IDCAMS.FOLDUP=Y    

        DISPMOD DSIDCAMS

        CNM263I MODULE   LENGTH CSECT    DATE     PTF     EPA      AM ATTR      
         CNM263I DSIDCAMS 000570 DSIDCAMS 05/30/14 ------- 000291B0 24 RN RU    
 
        CNM265I END OF DISPLAY    

        In my example, I am running Netview V6.2.1. I believe that the intent 
here was to provide a method for Netview to runs IDCAMS "maintenance" functions 
on the various Netview Databases; NLDM, NPDA, TARA etc, without the need to 
recycle the Netview tasks. I do use them for such maintenance, but they run 
infrequently.

        I don't claim to understand the relationship/difference between using 
the Netview IDCAMS command and the TSO or batch flavor, but it likely that the 
storage issue is related to how Netview invokes IDCAMS. 
        
        It might be help to route this question/issue to the Netview users 
group. I believe that they are at Groups.io.

I see:

Is that probably what the writer intended?  Is it even legal?
Writers should hand their examples back to coders for review and testing.
