In the 1980's, IMS SYSMODs (CBIPO/CBPDO etc.) had to be accepted before
they could be applied. It might have had to do with the macros needing
to be accepted before the rest of it could be applied.
Not sure how it is done now. The last IMS *native SMP/E* CBIPO I did was

As someone who is new to this field, and hasn't been though a wave of "the

mainframe 5 or 10 years down the line? Also, when I read about companies trying

I am very sure that if you issue fopen (with "append")
on a file with, say, LRECL = 24 and BLKSIZE = 9600, which has
one record and one block with only one record in it,
and you write a second record, that then this file will still have
one block, but now two records.

QSAM to a traditional PS file with the process you described is certainly
going to write only short blocks. Given the amount of data involved, would
it matter?
However, besides USS files, you could consider an ESDS. VSAM maintains its

Yes, I am familiar with the basics of UNIX I/O. I have written a couple of
large applications in C++ so I have used fopen() and friends mostly for
conventional MVS datasets but also for UNIX files. I just don't have much "big

Are you saying that I will not then end up with 24-byte "physical" blocks, or

If it's APF authorized, the STC can write a user SMF record.Then you don't
have to worry about buffering, writing the data, filling up the output
file, serialization of I/O, any of that stuff. SMF handles all that for you.

I might add that this is not how I would do this. But I'm known to be

appropriate "facility" and "priority" and send the data to it to take care

I would use one single normal MVS dataset and make the started task
every 15 minutes do the following:
fopen / append
write one record with timestamp and the 24 bytes of collected data
fclose
this will last only microseconds, and your file can have any desired
blocksize.
