Correction.
I copied in the wrong DCB.
I have several coded in my program and switch between them to test out 
different things to try and make WRITEs and/or PUTs from my program work with 
the SNAP process.

The correct DCB is:

         DCB   DSORG=PS,RECFM=VBA,MACRF=(W),                           .
               BLKSIZE=1632,LRECL=125,                                 .
               DDNAME=SNAPS,DCBE=SNAPDCBE

Subject: Re: Questions on SNAP/SNAPX usage

I am using a DCB based on what the manual states is required for SNAP/SNAPX 
processing:

         DCB   DSORG=PS,RECFM=VBA,MACRF=(W),                           .
               BLKSIZE=1632,LRECL=121,                                 .
               DDNAME=XXXX,DCBE=DMYDCBE                                 

I was contemplating using MACRF=(W,PM) versus MACRF=(W).
But because of the way WRITE works versus PUT, I was hoping someone had 
established how the SNAP service handled its buffers.

Historically, LRECL=121 characterized an old-style FIXED-length print
line of 120 characters and a prefixed carriage-control character,
i.e., RECFM=F|FB.

What exactly is the RECFM= value you are dealing with?
