All new.
The new IOSFBA service is not for managing fixed-block data sets on an
ECKD device. Rather, IOSFBA is used to manage (allocate, unallocate)
and perform I/O to (read, write) allocated fixed block architecture
(FBA) devices.
Thanks! I followed the APAR links but couldn't find any detailed info.
Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.
What are the big winners wrt z/OS databases and middlware?
