So I went into ISMF Test function. On the field where the RECORG is specified I placed the CURSOR
I entered FS and it came back as an INVALID ENTRY I then hit the PF1 Key - It stated on KS, RR, LS, ES or blanks are allowed. So you cannot use FS as a value on the TEST PANEL IN ISMF >From the HELP Panel for ISMF TEST for RECORG field: Use the RECORG field to specify the data set record organization you want to . use in the simulated allocation. . . Possible values: . . KS VSAM Key Sequenced data set . ES VSAM Entry Sequenced data set . RR VSAM Relative Record data set . LS VSAM Linear Space data set . blank unknown . . For example: . . RECORG ===> RR . Placing a cursor on a field in the ISMF Panels and hitting PF1 (HELP) key will provide more details on what is valid for the entry Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of > Hervey Martinez > Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 8:17 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: ZFS RECORG=FS > > Well, the DFSMS manual states that RECORG=FS is valid.
