I'm very well aware of that. That link you provided is also similar (SMS and VSAM) in JCL Ref, for example: "KEYLEN applies to data sets with the BDAM, BPAM, BSAM, EXCP, QISAM, and TCAM access methods, and, with SMS, to VSAM data sets." and "1 to 255 for VSAM key-sequenced (RECORG=KS) data sets." And so on for a lot of JCL statements for VSAM datasets [under SMS control]. But, at least for myself, we try to recommend one way to do a thing, not both IDCAMS and JCL. >Not all IDCAMS-Options are available in JCL, but you can use temporary VSAM >data sets (DSN=&&MYDSN,DISP=(,PASS)) in JCL (you can't "define" >temporary data sets with IDCAMS) Temp VSAM? Interesting, there must be a reason for that. Perhaps temp holdplace during creation of DB2 tables?
