Thanks Steve. And for now on I'll search for BDAM only in Chrome
incognito mode.

VSAM does not use hardware keys. What I know of that does are PDS
directories (KL=8) (not PDSE), VTOCs (KL=44), SYS1.BRODCAST (KL=1), and
just heard about PASSWORD. They are (of course) available for user
application with BDAM (Google suggests I meant "BDSM"... almost appropriate
;-). I don't know whether ISAM ever used them.
They're basically a relic from when DASD was much much slower, and much
more expensive.

Yes... Now that you mention it, I do remember the key in PDS
directories, but I never worked with those others directly. Do VSAM
datasets use disk keys?
