In that case I'd have to check it physically (with a 'program v. JCL' DCB with MACRF=(R/G)) ... and I don't have the time to do that. Thanks anyway.

I don't check "Using Data Sets";

Perhaps you should.

but that is how things were in the days of MVS OS/VS SP1 (1985):

It was not how it worked in OS/360. I just looked it up in the JCL manual on bitsavers. The sequence of completing a DCB is the same regardless of whether the data set is opened for input, output or I/O.

if things
have 'changed' since then, so be it.

When opening for input, the priority order is

I don't think so, and Using Data Sets seems to say otherwise.
Can you cite a reference?
