The SET implies ACCUM-R is an index, which is optimal.

Call it a design issue. There is no flag in the VTOC that says if the

We have a series of in-house utilities to deal with this.

A faucet dripping while you are trying to sleep does not make you get up

There is a port of MVS that runs under VM whose name escapes me. (It
has been over a decade since I supported a VTAM app in that environment
but it might be GCS.) VTAM on VM runs under it. It allows subtasking. If
you have VTAM under VM you have the segments you need already in place.
Unfortunately, if one does this without other work one gets No
connection when one takes option 2 (Download/upload ISPF library,
partitioned, or seq data set) from the Download Data Set to Workstation
panel (3.7).
What is the other work to be done?

This is one of the very clever SDSF line commands. It allows you to

middles lines, if any. The PF1 HELP indicates there is new option XF to

It is funny is that Wash*ta is the phonetic spelling of the Indian name

The issue here is that the program expects to not be directed to a PDS,

alarmingly wrong.
What I'm looking for is some way for the program to say
