    You should not block SYSIN and SYSOUT data sets because the SAM
    (sequential access method) compatibility interface will increase overhead
    by unnecessarily deblocking and blocking data sets.

I didn't know that.  Should I have RTFM?

Is SDB aware of that?

If BSAM, is this offset by more calls to WRITE/READ?

BLKSIZE is incompatible with DD */DATA, perhaps because
the programmer is expected to use F/V rather than FB/VB
