Hi,

In our shop I found that a PDS is defined with Dataset Organization 'DA', Record Format = 'F', LRECL = '0' and BLKSIZE = '27998'.

I am unable to read members from this dataset. I also tried writing a small SORT and forced the LRECL and RECFM of SORTIN to 80 & FB respectively. But didn't work out. It either gave me an INVALID LRECL/BLKSIZE error or ends in a I/O error reading SORTIN.

Code:

//SORTIN   DD  DSN=MY.INPUT.FILE,
//              DISP=SHR,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=8000)


Is there any way to convert this dataset to a normal PDS or read the contents from this dataset ?

Thanks & Regards,
Phantom

Just figured out from my colleagues here that the dataset belongs to CA-Librarian (Elips).

I searched for the keyword 'Librarian' and found this topic which solved my problem.

I think, a DA dataset is accessed as DSNTYPE=LIBRARY in the DD statement.
