... this makes it sound like a severe failure, outside the Application 
Programmer's
control.  But I know better.  But where is the rule that I violated documented?
Searching "Using Data Sets" for various combinations of VIO, PDSE, DSNTYPE,
and LIBRARY finds nothing.  Where should I be looking?

OK.  I search the archives, and I find:

        HISTORIC RETURN CODE IS 196 DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS 0C060090

    For this code you need to look in the DFSMSdsp Diagnostic Reference. You 
will find that, for CREATE, 0C060090 means

    PDSE cannot be VIO.

This really ought to be better documented.  Ideally even a "self-explanatory"
message.  "GIYF" is insufficient.

Thanks,
