Frank,
I have more information than I had earlier. A colleague was trying to
read a VB large block tape data set, and it was failing. Their comment
to me was that LBI did not work with DF/SORT. When I couldn't find
anything (due to the difference in
It has become apparent to us that the large block interface (LBI) for
tape data sets does not appear to be supported by IDCAMS nor DF/SORT. I
can find no reference in the documentation of these products for it.
What could be the reasoning behind this?

This has nothing to do with 3390 (which has a track size of 56664). The
