I think that SDB can't decide on a BLKSIZE when LRECL=0. In any case, for a Program Object PDSE, the BLKSIZE is nearly irrelevant. PDSEs always use a physical record length of 4K. For non-PO PDSEs, the nominal BLKSIZE is faked up for you as needed. Use SDB (0) when you have an LRECL, and 32K-8

Actually, I might suggest using TEST under the ISMF function in ISPF. But for verbose, you would need to get your friendly Storage Admin to add WRITE Statements to the SMS routines. Lizette -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff

IMHO it is plain stupid, but "it works as documented". Dot. End of discussion. Any documented stupidity is authorised to remain unchanged. I wish I would have SDB for DSORG=PO,RECFM=U with the value of 32760. All exceptions could be solved with providing explicit BLKSIZE value. BTW: I can't

In order to copy a load module library to a progam object library I used ISPF Data Set Utility to allocate the new library with DSNTYPE=LIBRARY. Believing that "SDB knows best," I left BLKSIZE blank. ISPF warned me. I told it, "Trust me." I went to Move/Copy Utility and tried the copy. It
