Re: Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)
1. A BDW with a length field of 4 would give you a DASD record with KL=0, DL=4, which does not generate a UE. 2. I haven't looked at the code for anything newer than 3420 GCR (6250 BPI), and have never tried it on 3480 or later, but I would expect wonky results for short blocks. I don't recall what the SMF dump utilities do about this. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Now, just curious, what about a block with a data length of 4, where the data are a BDW with a count of 4? Also, just curious, I understand that on tape a block <18 (? still?) is bypassed as a noise record. But it's possible that with RECFM=VB the last block might, by happenstance, consist of as few as 8 bytes (BDW=8; RDW=4). How do tape drivers deal with this? Poorly?

Re: Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)
It's actually the DASD controller that detects EOF on a Read Data CCW. As for PDSE, the dataset is formatted into control intervals and there are data in the dataset used by the access method to delineate logical records and members. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re: Count with no Data and no Key ? (CKD internals again)
I've done the same thing. In my case, it was TSOE TRANSMIT, which at the time used VIO for the temporary data set created for transmission purposes. That can be changed in PARMLIB IKJTSOxx TRANSREC to something other than VIO. VIO really makes no sense in a modern mainframe environment but can still cause mischief if not throttled back. . .
