Well, as you know Mark, the ICCF library is not the real library system for z/VSE. VSE uses its own library format rather than PDSes. Complete with utility programs (mainly LIBR) and the LIBRM macro interface. It works well.
And, John, VSE has happily supported VTOCS on FBA DASD for decades even without keys (as in cKd). Virtual Disks (disk volumes simulated in storage) are always FBA disks. Also supported is Virtual Tape (to VSAM or to network) but then that's a different story.
