ACB MACRF=RST forces a VSAM file into load mode. It doesn't seem like it would be so difficult or incompatible to add a new MACRF option to force initialization into "loaded" mode (as opposed to failing the OPEN as it now does). MACRF=RST requires some DEFINE option as well, but I'm not sure there's any logical need for it.
