But I once went to PMR (which got rejected) on an IBM utility which got a permission violation when I allocated its output file write-only. The explanation was that the utility first opens the file for input in order to verify that DSORG is not PO to avoid clobbering a PDS directory. How, then, does the utility determine DSORG by opening for input?
