Didn't they remove that restriction last year? ... The system ignores all operands except for DATASET/DSNAME, FILE/DDNAME, and status operands. The following DCB attribute operands are allowed when concatenating data sets: BLKSIZE INPUT EROPT BUFOFF USING BUFL OUTPUT BFTEK DEN BUFNO BFALN DIAGNS TRTCH NCP OPTCD LIMCT KEYLEN So, those 17 DCB operands are allowed, but ignored, right?
