Personally I would remove the FCWITHDRAW.

Subject: Re: Use of FCWITHDRAW with EMC Dasd

Dave,
We no longer use IBM DASD only EMC dasd, so I am not sure that FCWITHDRAW 
should still be used, which is my question.

EMC has a replication process that we do use on these volumes.  

The volume is being dumped from DASD (INDD) to TAPE (OUTDD).  

So Here is the JCL

XXJS00001   EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=6M,COND=(4,LT)                     
XXSYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
XXINDD   DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSALLDA,VOL=SER=XXXXXX
XXOUTDD    DD DSN=YYYYYYYY.VOLBKUP.OFFSITE.XXXXXX(+1),                   
XX            DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),                                    
XX            UNIT=JAGT,                                               
XX VOL=(,RETAIN,,,REF=YYYYYYYY.VOLBKUP.OFF.XXYY00.D121118.T080037),    
XX            LABEL=(002,SL)                                           
XXSYSIN  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=YYYYYYYY.VOLBKUP.CTL(DFDSS12)                   


The output

PAGE 0001     5695-DF175  DFSMSDSS V1R12.0 DATA SET SERVICES     2012.323 09:54

HIGHEST RETURN CODE IS 0000                                


So if I am on EMC Dasd should I remove the FCWITHDRAW when that process is 
probably not being used?  Or since the message indicates a 0 return code, I can 
just ignore this?
