Does OPTCD=Q work on all device types?  I had got the impression it
applied only to tapes.

There's also lately a CCSID option on both the EXEC statement and
the DD statement which seems to be intended to convert between
any CCSID used by the program and another CCSID appearing in a
file.  IIRC, I tried it and didn't get expected results.  Perhaps I
overreached with something such as:

//SETP    EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER,CCSID=1047
//SYSUT2  DD  CCSID=1209,PATH='...',..   (UTF-8)
