Putting code into IPLTEXT and SYS1.NUCLEUS to read PDSEs should not have been that difficult. If IBM had carried forth the vision in original VSAM which included sequential data sets, FBA devices could have been used only for FBA formatted data (VSAM, PDSE, Unix files, etc.) with CKD files being migrated at the installation priority. Instead, countless machine cycles and DASD bytes are wasted fitting FBA files poorly to CKD architecture with in turn fits poorly on to the actual supporting CKD devices.
