But for this purpose a PDS *member* is treated as a sequential dataset, and
works fine with XMIT. Indeed PDSs containing XMIT data members are fairly
common for distribution.

That zap appears to simply change the blocksize from one fixed value to
another. Better would be to remove it entirely, and allow it fall through
to JCL/DYNALLOC or SDB values. But that may take more than a simple zap.

Yeah - RECEIVE has always been forgiving. If its wretched prompt could just
be bypassed...
