VSAM hasn't had volume ownership since the advent of ICF. I was still an applications (Cobol) programmer then, MVS 5.1 or earlier. Sometime in the 80's
> Bob Wright - z/OS MVS Service Aids > Bob, That sounds about right. I always disliked the IPCS handling of dumps. It was just never (to me) a straight forward invocation like AMDPRDMP. I fought it until the bitter end. Maybe because I was missing SHARE a lot and never got to any of the sessions. That and I have a gut instinct not to like VSAM. I dislike the VSAM volume ownership issue the most (I think). Any requirements out there to rid IPCS of any VSAM usage?
