IIRC no new dataset can be created with those attributes (keywords ignored) but if an existing dataset has them it is still processed accordingly. If the dataset is recreated (delete/define) or restored the attributes will be removed.

That is, the cluster may have the attribute in the catalog entry but the code no longer does anything with it. You see this in other contexts for depreciated keywords: '...checked for syntax and ignored...' HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John P Kalinich Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 9:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: No supported release of z/OS(r) honors the IMBED, REPLICATE, and KEYRANGE attributes for new VSAM data sets <snip> z/OS V1R11.0 Migration - All supported migration paths z/OS V1R11.0 GA22-7499-16 Description: No supported release of z/OS(r) honors the IMBED, REPLICATE, and KEYRANGE attributes for new VSAM data sets. </snip> Our z/OS 1.11 system is allowing the IMBED attribute for new VSAM data sets.
