I have a program that reads a KSDS via CIs. While adding support for EF I put the following comments:
".Added Extended Addressability KSDS support. In the EA KSDS, RBA in index records is expressed as relative CI number: this means that it needs to be multiplied by CI length to calculate a true RBA value. .Converted RPL OPTCD from RBA to XRBA (this is required if Ext-Addr KSDS with size above 4GB is being processed: RBA should work until 4GB RBA is reached. It would fail from 4GB and above). Although, apparently, with PTF for APAR OW43595 applied - XRBA is required for Extended Addressability datasets regardless of dataset size."
