Bill, The problem for you is that changing the DATACLAS to one with EA, or changing the existing DATACLAS to support EA will not change the attributes of the files already allocated.
Think of DATACLAS as JCL DD statement. It described the attributes of the dataset to be allocated. Those attributes don't change if you change the JCL. If you want to change thee data sets to be EA then you must allocate the datasets anew with the new DATACLAS.
