So, DISP=SHR is not the default, as I thought was implied by John's
statement that "Z/os VSAM is always accessed as DISP=SHR."

Then, why does every VSAM DD for every z/OS site I have worked with,
always include DISP=SHR?
(I guess, because it's a habit from non-VSAM files and nobody told them they
did not have to do it.)
