Let's just say that I can't think of a case where I'd want that differentiation.
Anyway, obviously IBM shouldn't change the default, but it seems to me they could provide a new option on DEFINE CLUSTER to have it "pre-loaded" (have the HURBA set to non-zero). Or perhaps provide a new IDCAMS command (or maybe REPRO parameter) to do it. I may open an RFE. Can't hurt to try? ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Charles Mills <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2018 7:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: empty KSDS behavior - why? Humor me -- I'm not a VSAM guy. Are there really people who are counting on their COBOL programs blowing up if they fail to do the right juju on their new VSAM file?
