Bob Raicer can defend his own positions, but it does seem to me that he made it clear, with appropriate extracts from the manual, that DUMMY is usable only with BSAM, QSAM, and VSAM, i.e., not with BPAM. That being the case, most of this backing and filling is, at best, irrelevant. John

To retired mainframer's post my response can be brief: I think not. A single member of a PDS[E] can be accessed in the usual way using BSAM or QSAM. A list of them cannot. For that operation BPAM must be used. BPAM does not support the use of DUMMY. John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
