Is this the relative or absolute TTR? The MBBCCTTR will change for an exact 
copy. 

Which DSCB fields won't change for a block for block copy of the data set?

I did misunderstand you and yes, you are right, one very common change would be 
an append, and that would change the last TTR field and thus the DSCB hash -- 
as would any total rewrite that did not happen to be the same length.

Charles,

I think that you misunderstood me.
I'm suggesting that the cheap first hash (used to rule out common changes) 
would be over a combination of:

- the first n bytes of the data set (just like you suggested)
- the F1/F8 DSCB  (which has stuff like DS1LSTAR and DS1TRBAL which helps to 
detect common changes to the end
