Sorry it is IDCNOGFL, another entry point for IDCAMS, the behavior is the same that is was in z/OS 1.x (so RC4 when no GDS). You can use it instead of IDCAMS. I think that IDCNOGFL could disappear in a next release of z/OS, so i don't want to use it.
We have thousands of JCL's that use LISCAT LEVEL, so I would like a solution with no many changes, I can change from IDCAMS to IDCNOGFL with an IPOUPDTE (this is cool) but I look for a solution of the same type, maybe with another well knowm utility.
